The GFWC Apopka Woman's Club was chartered in 1957 with 60
members, and was federated in the same year. In January, 2007, we
celebrated 50 years of service to our community.
Our Club's Constitution states:
"The object of the GFWC Apopka Woman's Club is to bring together women in an
organization where they can use their energies and abilities to benefit
themselves and their community by promoting civic, cultural, educational and
social welfare." We are a service organization supporting our community.
Opportunities are provided for the
development of talents, abilities and skills for each individual who
participates. The many opportunities afforded through club work provide a
threshold from which each individual can develop an overall awareness and deeper
perspective of community, state, national and world events that affect our
quality of life. Every member becomes keenly aware of the privileges and
responsibilities of belonging to the world community.
Club work is on a voluntary basis,
with members participating in activities of personal interest. All members,
however, participate in all fund-raising events. 2008 will be the 47th year for
the Art & Foliage Festival, our main fund raiser.
