Our History

    The GFWC Gainesville Junior Woman's Club     (GJWC) is a community-based service organi-
    zation. We are not-for-profit organization     celebrating over 50 years of helping our     community. The GFWC GJWC was founded in
    September 1954, by an eager group of thirty
    charter members and in the following month
    became the 73rd Junior Club to join the Florida
    Federation of Women's Clubs (FFWC). In 1955,
    the membership voted to become a part of the     Alachua County Federation of Women's Clubs.

    In the 1960's, the Gainesville Juniors became     departmentalized, thus correlating more easily
    with state and national federation programs and
    projects.

     A Collect for Clubwomen

      
    Keep us, oh God, from pettiness; let
     us be large in thought in word, in deed.
            Let us be done with fault finding 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 we never be hasty in judgment
     and always be generous.
           Let us take time for all things; make
      us grow calm, serene, gentle.
           Teach us to put into action our better
     impulses, straight forward and unafraid.
           Grant that we may realize it is the little
     things that create differences, that in the
     big things of 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.
