The GFWC Wilbraham
Junior Women's Club was formed in 1977 by a group of women
interested in the betterment of our community. Our purpose
remains to conduct civic and cultural projects throughout our
area and to attract women to our cause through the promotion of
goodwill and friendship.
GFWC was founded in April 1890, when sixty-one clubs from around
the country convened in New York and formed the General Federal
Of Women's Clubs.
