Club By-Laws and Guidelines

All adults are welcomed. 

Attend a meeting, fill out a membership form and pay dues.

Membership dues for initial year is $25.  After that annual regular membership fee is $35.  Fee can be mailed or paid in person at your first meeting.

On the 2nd Thursday of the Month at 7 p.m. from the months of September thru April.

The meetings are held in varying locations depending on the monthly program content. All meetings held in Beloit.   

Members are not required to come to monthly meetings.  Members attend as they can and help whenever they are able to.  Everything is done on a voluntary basis.

We request that our members help at our various fundraising events such as Scoopie night at Culvers and SkyCarp concessions and any other opportunities.  

We encourage members to sign up and help “hostess” one meeting during the year by bringing a soda or a snack.  

We also sponsor a meal once a month at the Sparrow Nest, which is a local homeless shelter.

GFWC stands for General Federation of Women’s Clubs.  It is the largest women’s community service organization in the world!  GFWC has a membership of over 100,000 members in clubs in every state and over a dozen countries.  The women of GFWC have addressed the needs of their communities, worked to promote education, healthy lifestyles, advocating for issues of concern to women and children and preserving our natural resources.
