Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper to let them know that a powerful volunteer organization is already available in your community. Use our sample letter to get started.
Discuss with your fellow clubwomen how important it is to use GFWC in the name of your club—identifying your club as part of the GFWC team will go a long way toward helping potential members find you. Learn more about the GFWC brand in the GFWC Stylebook.
»CREATE CHANGE
Publicize your club's activities on a regular basis, to create a reputation for supporting your community through service. Use a GFWC Briefing Book to learn more about publicity outreach.
Use GFWC emblematic merchandise—like our fun window decals—to raise your club's profile in the community. Fly the GFWC flag during meetings, parades, and events to remind passersby that your club is strong and active!
Consider creating a signature event or partnership in collaboration with a deserving local charity. Aligning yourself with worthy causes helps both organizations share recognition. You could choose to work with a women's shelter or hotline to help further GFWC's work on the President's Special Project: Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention.
