General Federation of Women's Clubs

The General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC), founded in 1890 during the Progressive Movement, is a federation of over 3,000 local women's clubs which promote civic improvements through volunteer service. Many of its activities and service projects are done independently by local clubs through their communities or GFWC's national partnerships. GFWC maintains nearly 100,000 members throughout the United States and internationally. GFWC remains one of the world's largest and oldest nonpartisan, nondenominational, women's volunteer service organizations.

History

The GFWC was founded by Jane Cunningham Croly, a leading New York journalist. In 1868 she helped found the Sorosis club for professional women. It was the model for the nationwide GFWC in 1890.

In 1889 Mrs. Croly organized a conference in New York that brought together delegates from 61 women's clubs. The women formed a permanent organization in 1890 with Ella Dietz Clymer presiding. In 1901 it was granted a charter by Congress. Dietz proclaimed, "We look for unity, but unity in diversity" and that became the GFWC motto. Southern white women played a central role in the early years.

(Killa Vanilla Kids,AKA KVK)ALL DAY! (First Edition)
(Verse 1, Lil A)
Welcome To KVK, with all the girls calling me playa
I'm Lil A, And im here to stay
Pey to the rock, Nick to the shizzle
Pey is my sacker, And nick is my nizzle
We all stay fly, as my money stack high
When we walk by you just wanna say HI
When you see me on the floor, you wanna stop drop and roll
Heres my man Peyrock, Hes gonna show you how to jock
(Verse 2, Peyrock)
My name is Peyrock, and im always in stock
I walk the walk, and i talk the talk
Im wearing my pumas, and I aint spreading rumas
Cause when im wearing my airs, it just aint even fair
My car is so rare that when i drive by, all you do is stare
I look so good that no one cares, When im sitting there chilling in my notty underwear
Now i gotta pass it to my vanilla N Shizzle, Hes gonna come at you like like a missle
And now im done and trust me man, It aint the last one
(Verse 3, N Shizzle)
Lil ya
Just dont wanna mess, its how you play when your not the best
Im just so relentless, I always kill will my 90 mill
Its so fresh, just like how i dress
Got my nikes on my feet, when im walking the street
Dont try to top it, you cant even stop it, your like the robber who tryed to pickpocket
Im out, so give me a shout
