The Emblem of the General Federation of Women's Clubs

The band encircling the center signifies eternity.  The crusader's shield emerging from the darkened world--represented by the field of black enamel--signifies enlightenment.  The enameled colors are the colors of our country.  The red implies courage; the white implies purity; the blue implies constancy.  The embossed letters GFWC stand for General Federation
of Women's Clubs.  The phrase, Unity in Diversity, is the motto of the Federation.

The General Federation of Women's Clubs is the largest group of organized women in the world with approximately
80 thousand members.

JUNIOR PLEDGE
I pledge my loyalty to the Junior Clubwomen by doing better than ever before what work I have to do.  By being prompt, honest, courteous.  By living each day trying to accomplish something, not merely to exist.  Helen Joyce Kimberly

CLUB COLLECT
Keep us O God, from pettiness; Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.  Let us be done with faultfinding and leave off self-seeking.  May we put away all pretense and meet each other face-to-face, without self-pity and without prejudice.  May be never be hasty in judgment and always generous.  Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm, serene, and gentle.  Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straightforward and unafraid.  Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences, that in the big things in life we are at one.  And may we strive to touch and to know the great, common, human heart of us all.  And oh Lord God, let us forget not to be kind!     Mary Stewart, 1904
