Who We Are

The GFWC Hartford Women's Club is a proud member of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs.  Honoring the motto of Unity in Diversity, we come together as unique
individuals dedicated to community improvement.  Our club held its first meeting in 1985

We are one of more than 80 clubs federated under GFWC in Wisconsin.  The GFWC-WI
is involved in many projects.  We own Wisconsin's Own Library, an extension collection of
works by Wisconsin authors that moved in November, 2007 to the Lane Library at Ripon
College.  In 1932, GFWC-WI undertook a partnership with Trees for Tomorrow,
establishing the GFWC-WI Forest within the Nicolette Forest in northern Wisconsin.  

Each year we sponsor one major fund raiser, The Great Hartford Craft Exposition, held at Hartford Union High School on the second Saturday of November.  We also hold two other fund raisers: A Meat Raffle held in the Spring and a Fall Fashion Show.  In keeping with our theme of "Making It Happen in Hartford", funds generated from these annual events are used to support a variety of community programs and charities 

Our club meets the first Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm at the Hartford Recreation Department (we do not meet in January or during the summer months)
