WELCOME TO GFWC NEW YORK
The General Federation of Women's Clubs is an international women's organization dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service.
GFWC clubs and clubwomen are the fabric that binds not only the Federation, but the communities in which they live and work. By Living the Volunteer Spirit, GFWC clubwomen transform lives each day, not simply with monetary donations, but with hands-on tangible projects that provide immediate impact. With a grassroots approach that often thinks locally but impacts globally, GFWC, its clubs and members remain committed to serving as a force for global good, as it has done since its formation 129 years ago.

It is with great sadness that we say farewell to GFWC New York Past-President, Karen Morris.
Karen passed away October 4, 2020. She will be greatly missed by all her friends in Federation.
My friend Karen Morris had a big heart, a warm embrace and she was a passionate volunteer. Karen was a 30-year member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. She served as NY State President from 2002-2004. She continued to serve on the GFWC Board of Directors over the past 14 years. When I asked her if she would consider coming to The Women’s Club of Pittsford to do my installation as club president and she said yes, I was so excited. As a GFWC member for years before moving to New York, my installation had very special meaning to me and I am forever grateful that Karen made it memorable. I was very happy to introduce all the WCOP members to this special GFWC clubwoman! Her warm smile and hug would greet you and she positively touched everyone she came in contact with. Karen had a very generous spirit. She was the designer and creator of the certificates awarded to the member clubs of GFWC NY over the past 15 years. She was very creative. Her many talents will be missed by all who knew her and all of the organizations she touched. Rest in Peace my friend.
