A Time For GFWC 's Seasonal Recruitment Campaign

"The Gift of Membership”

 written by GFWC Membership Committee member Vicki Holden.

 Vicki asks “How often do we give ourselves a gift? It may seem that we never do, but have you considered

your membership in GFWC as a gift you give yourself?” 

 
We have all heard the saying “it is better to give than to receive.”  Know that with your GFWC membership and working to

 recruit new members you can enjoy the best of both worlds.  SHARE your gift of GFWC Membership with FRANK. 

Who is FRANK you ask?  Shelli Fehr, GFWC Illinois Central Region Vice President says “this simple acronym stands for Friends, Relatives, Acquaintances, Neighbors, and Kids (mothers).  The biggest mistake clubwomen make when it comes to recruiting new members is that we decide for ourselves that FRANK isn't interested in our club so we don't even ask.  We take away their decision by making it for them.  So, instead of deciding for them, ask even if you know the person won't join.

  You just might be surprised at the result.”  (read more  The Gift of Membership)

Membership is so very important to the very existence of our organization. and we all know that

membership recruitment is important EVERY season!

Headquarters looks forward to hearing from clubs across the state as they report their recruitment successes!
