GFWC Hobe Sound Women's ClubThe Hobe Sound Women's Club was founded to continue community service efforts begun with the very successful volunteer effort in which the Kids Kingdom Playground at the Hobe Sound Elementary School was erected from 91-92. General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC) affiliation was awarded in September of 1992, and we are proud of that affiliation which is why you'll see it prefacing our local club name. GFWC is one of the world's largest and oldest women's volunteer service organizations. Started in 1868, it has an impressive history of being a force of social change which greatly benefited the lives of women and children. At one time GFWC was credited by the American Library Association for establishing 75% of America's public libraries.
Our club's local agenda suits our particular needs of Hobe Sound, while still following the six pillars of GFWC:
