Junior Membership is always looking for clubs to serve as host clubs for Fall, Mid-Winter, or Annual conferences. Hosting –or co-hosting- a conference is a great way to encourage newer members to get a broader picture of GFWC as a state and national organization.

 

It’s easy!  Host clubs help by providing :

Nametags for attendees                         Centerpieces for the tables

Staffing for the Registration table          A Welcome or Greeting

Credential Cards- GFWC

 

GFWC Voting Credential Cards- These cards (the size of a standard business envelope) are sent to every club president in April to validate the number of votes each club is granted at International Convention. (1 card per 25 members) Credential cards should be enclosed with Convention Registration Forms, and they are returned to club members by GFWC when attendees check-in at convention.

 

The GFWC Voting Credential Cards sent to club presidents are transferable to other members who may be attending Convention. (Credential cards sent individually to state and international officers are not transferable) Instructions for transfer of vote are given on the cards - club presidents can write in the name of another club member who is attending Convention. Presidents not attending Convention should make the club credential card available to state board members, or any member of their club who will attend Convention and vote on behalf of their club.

 

 

Delegate Cards- GFWC of MA

 

GFWC of MA Voting Delegate Cards- Every MA club receives a Voting Delegate Card  (1 card per every 25 members) to be used by the club president or her designee for voting privileges when attending GFWC of MA meetings. GFWC of MA Meeting dates are listed on the back of the delegate card (business card size). The Junior Director distributes these cards to Junior club presidents in September. Voting delegates sign the back of the cards. Delegate cards are to be enclosed with event registration forms, after which they are punched and returned to clubs with confirmation of registration.

 

 

Delegates (Voting) to Junior Membership Conferences

 

Each Junior club is entitled to one vote for every 10 members in the club.  Voting generally occurs for Junior Executive Board officers, District Representatives, and District Nominating Committee members elected at Annual Meeting. When completing conference registration forms, presidents designate which attending members are to be the voting delegates for their club.

 

NOTE: No delegate or credential card is required when submitting registrations for Junior Membership conferences. Voting forms used at Annual Meeting indicate appropriate number of votes per club.

 

 

Direct-ly Speaking

 

Direct-ly Speaking is the name being used by the 2004-2006 Junior Director to identify official email messages to club presidents and Junior Board. Email will be used for time sensitive notices and helpful reminders; email will not replace the use of Director’s newsletters. (See Director’s Newsletter)

 

Director’s Fundraising

 

Every administration promotes fundraising activities on behalf of the Junior Director. Monies raised are deposited in the General Fund of the Junior Board Treasury to be used as deemed appropriate or necessary by the Junior Executive Board.  Presidents are asked to make club members aware of featured fundraisers and encourage sales. Items are generally sold at all conferences and through the Director or her Assistants while supplies last.

 

Items featured for 2004-2006 Administration

·        Write the Next Chapter  Logo Padfolio $12,

·        Black and Tan Logo Totebag $10.

 

The 1924 Society

The 1924 Society will be unveiled at President’s Day on September 11, 2004.  This society is open to any member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs.  Membership is obtained by making a donation that will be put towards the financial operations of the Junior Membership of Massachusetts.

 

There will be two different donations available and membership will be limited to a certain number each year.  When this number has been reached membership will then be closed until the next year.

 

Please consider becoming a member of this special group.  It will promise laughter and friendship for select few and you will consider it privilege to be part of this social group for years to come.   If you have any questions about this program contact program chairman, Patty Salomon (See Directory)

 

Raffle Baskets at Conferences

Raffle tickets are sold at Junior conferences for the chance to win theme baskets provided by Junior clubs. Money raised from Basket Raffles is used to defray costs of travel required of the Junior Director as she represents Massachusetts Juniors at state and regional meetings and GFWC International Convention. Every club is asked to donate a decorative basket of items (i.e. candles, books, stationery) at each conference in order to help support the Director’s Travel Fund.  Baskets should be labeled with club name and given a creative theme title. Awards are given to clubs at conferences for basket creativity and originality.

 

 

Director’s Newsletter

 

Every Junior Director uses a newsletter to update club presidents, Junior Board members, and Past Junior Directors. The newsletter is known as Daisy Doings to honor the official flower of GFWC of Massachusetts. For the 2004-2006 administration, each issue of Daisy Doings will appear as a volume under the name The Next Chapter, honoring the current Director’s theme.

 

The newsletter is issued approximately 4 times a year. To submit information or calendar items for The Next Chapter contact Lynne Stader (lynne@stader.org)

 

Districts

 

Districts are used by GFWC of MA to assist in connecting clubs geographically and for dispersing federation information effectively. Note that district assignments have changed for some clubs with the re-districting effective May 2004. General clubs operate under District Directors;  Junior clubs have District Representatives. Clubs are asked to invite their respective District Representative and District Nominating Committee member to at least one club meeting each year, and include them on official mailing lists to receive club newsletters.

 

See Directory of Junior Membership Executive Board in Information Please 2004-2006

 for complete information on district divisions and the representatives in your district.

 

 

Donations

 

Use the Junior Membership Donation Form (Forms Section) to properly send club donations to designated GFWC of MA and GFWC of MA Junior designated charities and scholarships.

 

Please send only ONE CHECK for the total of all donations entered on the Donation Form.

DO NOT SEND SEPARATE CHECKS FOR EACH DONATION! The Donation Form provides a convenience for both the State Treasurer and the Club Treasurer. A club is not expected to make donations for all entries on the form.  It simply identifies monies submitted to the State Treasurer.

 

In order for a club to receive credit, donations must be postmarked by December 31.

 

Send Junior Membership Donation Form to Treasurer of Junior Membership:

Janice Hynes, 49 Danjou Drive, Marlboro, MA 01752-3342

 

 

Manual Questionnaire

 

The Manual Questionnaire is used to assess dues for the following year and to report the officers of your next administration. **Note: The number of members you enter on this form should exactly match the number of members who paid dues to your club between January and December of the previous calendar year. It is a club’s responsibility to save and pass on the GFWC portion of dues. (See Standing Rules- Dues) Bills for dues are sent directly to clubs by state GFWC of MA Treasurer the following January. (See Sample of the Manual Questionnaire in the Forms Section.)

 

If you need another copy of the Manual Questionnaire, contact the Junior Director.

 

 

Pins

 

President Pins: GFWC pins for the office of club President are available at Junior Board meetings, Junior Conferences, or from the Treasurer of Junior Membership. The cost is $10.00 per pin. Clubs generally arrange to purchase a pin in advance of the date of their installation of officers, such that the official pin can be presented to the incoming president at the time of installation.

 

GFWC of MA: Other federation items such as the GFWC of MA State President’s theme pin may also be available.  For information contact Junior Treasurer, Janice Hynes (508) 481 4404

 

Membership pins: with the GFWC emblem are available through Junior Membership Chairman, or by using the GFWC List of Available Materials in the GFWC Club Manual.

Attention Presidents:

Reporting will continue to be done in a bulleted format with an optional narrative on one or two of your best, most successful projects. Please read the information in the following pages carefully.  Every effort has been made to simplify report writing and instructions. Please contact department chairmen if you have any questions.

 

Remember these important reasons for writing a report:

·        Reports give your club members a sense of accomplishment.

·        Reports provide a permanent club record.

·        Reports help your club and club members receive recognition from State and National organizations and peers.

·        Statistics from reports are used by GFWC to obtain corporate sponsors.

 

A completed report will include the following in this order:

·        Junior Report  Cover Sheet

·        Questionnaire (Membership, Leadership reports only)

·        Bulleted List of Projects/Programs

·        Narrative Page, maximum 2 projects described in greater detail (optional)

·        Backup Page (optional)

·        Bound in a Red or blue folder, depending on club size

Division I- blue folder             Division II Clubs- Red folder

 

Copies needed: Original report plus 3 photocopies of each report

• Original report in colored folder + one photocopy to the Junior Chairman
• One photocopy of each report to the Junior Director
• One photocopy of each report to the GFWC of Massachusetts President

 

Steps for Successful Report Writing

 

Step One:  Know the Definitions:

 

GFWC Departments:  These are the major emphasis areas from GFWC International.  There are six Departments, with specific GFWC programs to support in each one:

·        Arts in the Community

·        Education:  tBe Cool After School  tEducation for Life  tLiteracy: Tutoring from the Heart

·        International Affairs: tReaching Out Internationally  tUnited Nations

·        Conservation: tBeautificationResource   tConservation

·        Home Life: tHelping Hands tImmunize Now  tNew Horizon’s in Health

·        Public Affairs: tCitizenship  Community  tSafety

 

Special Projects: Similar to the Departments except they do not have additional program areas.

·        Community Improvement Contest

·        GFWC Junior Special Project-Advocates for Children

·        Leadership

·        Membership

·        Public Relations

 

Project:  Work that your club does as a group. (a bake sale, a membership drive)

 

Program: A speaker or activity done at a CLUB MEETING.  Keep track of the number of members and guests that were in attendance.

 

Monetary Donations: Amounts of money donated by check or cash.

 

Material Donations: Items donated such as books, medical supplies, clothes, food, etc. (include the value of these donations)

 

Participating Members: The number of members involved in a project or program.  Count members only once, the number of members participating cannot be more than the number of members in your club.  Keep track of all hours spent by all members.  Include planning, set-up, publicity, etc. This information is required only for GFWC Departments.

 

Double Reporting: Reporting the same project in two different reports.  In order for statistics to be valid, this is NOT allowed in any Department or Special Project except for the Community Improvement Contest.

 

Number of Members: The number that is in the current GFWC of Massachusetts Manual.  It does not matter how many members you have at the time of the report writing.  You must use the figure in the most recent Manual.

 

Questionnaires: A “checklist” provided by some Junior State Chairman to facilitate the reporting of projects or procedures that most clubs use.  Items covered in the questionnaire do not need to be reported on your List of Projects/Programs

 

 Cover Sheets: Each Department and Special Project has its own cover sheet.  They can be found in the “Programs” and “Special Project” sections of Information Please.

 

GFWC Report Form: A one  page (front and back) statistical form used by GFWC International.  Information for this form will come from your Junior Report Cover Sheets and final reports.  (See GFWC Club Manual for this Form)

 

 

Step Two: Preparation

 

Decide:

·        Who will write which reports for your club.  Report writing is a leadership skill, ideally, they should not all be written by one person.  Some clubs have their department chairmen write reports, other clubs have a reporting committee.

·        What department each project will be reported under.

Gather:

·        Any notes, materials, newsletters, agendas, press releases, etc. about your club projects.  Check Information Please pages for suggestions from Junior Chairmen.

·        Cover sheets needed for Department and Special Project Reports

·        Questionnaires, if provided by Junior Chairmen

 

 

Step Three: Writing Your Reports

 

Follow these requirements when writing your reports.  Refer to Report Cover Pages for specific report instructions:

·        Font size: No smaller than 10      Margins: No smaller than one-half inch.

·        Each of the program areas of the Department reports and each Special Project report will be allowed one page of listed (bulleted) items and one page of narrative report. 

·        Narrative: maximum of two projects; cannot exceed a total of one page.

·        Format the List of Projects/Programs in a bulleted format (maximum of four lines), briefly explaining the project/program.  The fourth or last line should include the total number of members participating/the total number of hours/the total amount of money spent/the total amount of funds raised or donated (if any).  Or it can just be a list of donations.

 

(See examples to follow)

Examples of bulleted format:

 

·        Baby sitting course: held at the town library in two four-hour sessions.  25 children were graduated.

3 members/39 hours/$87 spent

·        TV Turnoff Week Contest: Organized “NO TV” contest of 4 elementary schools.  Form to be filled out was distributed to schools; prize money was awarded to school libraries.

4 members/60 hours/$535 spent

·        Egg Hunt: Held for town children up to age 10.  Hid eggs with candy, had raffle, had pictures with Easter bunny.

40 members/80 hours/$50 spent/$100 raised for food pantry

·        Monetary Donations:

$50 American Cancer Society

$100 Fire Fighters Association

 

 

 

Step Four: Distribution of Reports

 

Junior State Chairmen require:

• Original report with backup material in a colored folder representing your club size. (Division I clubs use blue folders; Division II clubs use red folders.).
•  One photocopy of the report.  (Note: A copy of the backup material is NOT needed.)  Whether or not you keep a copy for your club is up to you, remember that your ORIGINAL report will be returned to you at Annual Conference in April.

 

Junior Director requires:

·        One photocopy of every report

 

GFWC of Massachusetts President requires:

·        One photocopy of every report

 

GFWC requirement for GFWC Report Form:

• Original + one copy of the GFWC Report Form. (These are given to the Junior Director, who will mail them to GFWC in Washington.)
• No copies of this report will be returned to you.

 

If you are bringing your reports to Mid-Winter Conference:

• Deliver report and one copy to the appropriate Junior Chairmen collection bag.
• Deliver one copy of all Department reports to Junior Director’s collection bag.
• Deliver GFWC Report Form (original and copy) to the Junior Director’s collection bag.

 

If you are mailing your reports:

• Each report (copy included) must be mailed to the respective Chairman.
• One copy should be mailed to the Junior Director
• One copy should be mailed to the GFWC of Massachusetts President
• The GFWC Report Form (and copy) should be mailed to the Junior Director.
