Multiple hours of researching, designing, cutting, pasting, and other creative activity paid off in a big way for the GFWC (General Federation of Women’s Clubs) Civic Club of Oakland this year, as the organization’s publicity book, which records all the activities, news releases, invitations, programs, and other club events for an entire year (2010), was deemed to be the very best such book in the country. The book won the state of Maryland contest in June, and then this month was announced as the national winner. Members of the local club recently traveled to Washington, D.C., to the national headquarters to receive the award. The honor is timely, as the club has launched into a celebration of its 100th year of existence, having been founded in 1911. A series of events celebrating that milestone will take place this fall. More information will be published as these celebrations near. Pictured above at the D.C. event this month, from left, are Kris Yusko and Judi Schiff, both local members; Josephine Miller, state president; Carlene Garner, national GFWC president; Betty Ellington, local member and book compiler; Barbara Frantz, local president; and Ellen Fritz, local member and book compiler.
