Is your club
reporting WHRC programs and projects? Are they receiving information to
consider for club activities that support women’s
history,
and historic preservation in general? Does your club have a WHRC
chairman, to help get the word out?
GFWC programs
may be changing, but many club projects done in the past are exactly
what clubs can be doing to support WHRC going forward. Suggestions . . .
KEEP
supporting historic societies in your community with monetary or
material donations.
KEEP
supporting the 1924 Society, with a donation through Junior Membership.
KEEP
supporting Clough House in Boston, a GFWC of MA project since 1973.
Help with the summer tours, or send a donation.
KEEP
updating your club’s history of contributions in your town.
Use this information at club anniversaries and membership events.
Create a display of this information in a public place.
KEEP
encouraging club/members to join Friends of WHRC supporting the
archives at GFWC Headquarters in Washington. $50+ sponsors receive WHRC
News.
KEEP in
mind having a speaker or a game at a club meeting on topics of
women’s history or historic preservation.
KEEP your CLUB
HISTORY updated, preserve documents or donate them to GFWC/WHRC.
Submit your club WHRC report in January, including Club History, to the GFWC of
Massachusetts WHRC Chairman.
