President's Project

Each president selects a project that will be her "signature project." This term the President has chosen our own Federation as her project. As she says, if we do not take care of "our" Federation, there won't be one to help others. We are focusing on areas of membership, identity and finances.

The next Day of Service is in Lakeland at the Headquarters on March 24 for a general spruce up and clean up. Get the form with details at Resources.

Part of this is Days of Service:


Special Olympics September 15 2011

Locations are chose that can benefit from our members participating in work at their facility, be it gardening, carpentry, or taks selected by the agency that one-time volunteer help can do. The places so far have been Hacienda Girls Ranch, and Canine Companions for Independence. This is the first part of our President’s Project--Membership.

Another part of this project is Financial Stability. We all know at this time, our own beloved Federation is suffering. Our headquarters has some much needed renovations on the books. Our doors, our restrooms, our furniture and our property are part of our history and deserve so much from our membership. So at this Fall Board meeting we are introducing the GFWC Florida Headquarters pin. Part of this project is “Hammer it Home” this is the renovation and restoration of our 4444 Florida National Drive home. Starting at this meeting, you can purchase the GFWC Florida Headquarters pin for $25.00; a ribbon is attached that says you are invested. There is no question; we need all of you to help us invest in our future. As part of the Hammer it Home campaign, we will at each meeting have a tool that you can add to your ribbon. A Hammer, a Saw, a Wrench and a Screwdriver. Your investment totals $45.00, that’s it! That is 20 months of investment at $2.25 per month, or 7 ½ cents per day.

Please don’t forget the 1895 society that is for items that come up and need to be repaired frequently, plumbing, carpet, paint etc. This is a specific fundraising campaign for the restroom renovation! All funds raised during this campaign will fund a new restroom and lounge area.

The last part of the project is Identity, you’re a part of this Federation, and GFWC is part of your identity. Our day of service in your community with the GFWC seal, our investment in our own Headquarters that is Identity. Your Investment that is part of Identity.

This is your way to be a part of Hammer it Home;
