GFWC California Federation of Women’s Clubs · Area D
Uniting the clubs of the De Anza District since 1956.
We bring together women’s clubs across Area D to advance education, civic service, and community — carrying forward a tradition of volunteer spirit that began with our first president, Gwendolyn Bryant.
Our Object
Education, civic measures, and cooperation.
The object of the De Anza District is to unite the influence and initiatives of the clubs within the District; to promote education, morals, public affairs, and civic measures; to compare methods of study and work; and to cooperate with the California and General Federation.
De Anza District is part of the California Federation of Women’s Clubs (CFWC) Area D — one of four Areas in CFWC. CFWC is, in turn, a member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC), an international women’s organization dedicated to community improvement through volunteer service.
“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.”
— Coretta Scott King
Finding New Roads
No road is long with good company.
In addition to being a district that welcomes and receives by keeping doors open, we try also to find new roads, to step outside ourselves, and to gather new prospects to join our clubs. The road to success is always under construction — and the only impossible journey is the one you never begin.
