GFWC of NC: District 7

      

Welcome to the General Federation of Women's Clubs of North Carolina (GFWC of NC), District 7! Our district is comprised of hundreds of diverse women of all ages who proudly represent Women's Clubs, Juniors and Juniorettes from the following counties: Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Duplin, Pender, New Hanover, Robeson and Sampson.

We are an integral part of The General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC), which is one of the world's largest and oldest non-partisan, non-denominational, women's volunteer service organizations. The GFWC was founded in 1890 and chartered by the 56th United States Congress in 1901.

We hope that you will enjoy perusing our website and that if you are not already a member of GFWC-NC, that you will contact a local club within your community and join us today! For more information on local clubs visit the Club Info section of our site. And, you can also find us on Facebook.

 A Message from Our President

It is an honor to serve as your 2018-2020 District 7 President.  The members of  District 7 are committed to improving the lives of others in out community while developing leadership potential in our members.

The District President's Special Project for this administration is: Women's Cancer with an emphasis on Ovarian Cancer. I am hoping through this project women will become aware of this "Silent Killer". Ovarian Cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, and the fifth most deadly, with more than 14,000 deaths occurring each year in the US.It has the highest mortality rate of all gynecological cancers because the symptoms often go undetected. This Administration let's raise awareness because early detection is the key to increasing the survival rate. 

If you are here and you are a member of District 7, thank you for all you do. If you are curious about who we are and what we do please feel free to contact me. Remember our Facebook Page and check there for important information.

I will continue to update our website. You can definitely say it is under construction!

Thanks so much for your service!

In Federation Spirit,

Penny
