Don’t be fooled by scammers!
If you receive an email that appears to be from someone on the GFWC=SC Executive Committee asking you to buy gift cards, send money, donate, or do any other urgent favor, stop before taking any action.
If you are in doubt if it is a real request, call or text and ask the actual person sending the email to confirm.
Do not engage with them. Delete immediately. Keep your money safe.

President's Theme & Special Projects
Across South Carolina, clubwomen are standing together with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse not only to offer support and compassion, but to be a voice for change.
We believe every survivor deserves to be heard, believed, and given the opportunity to rebuild a safe and healthy life. And we believe those who commit these crimes must be held accountable.
Our state strongly supports the GFWC Signature Program Pledge to Stand up, speak up, and show up for survivors.
The focus of this administration is to help survivors of abuse and to work to change the laws to prevent and punish future abusers. The president has chosen Lift Them Up…Let Them Soar! as her theme and her special projects are:
- Up, Up, and Away – Best project that involves collaboration between two or more clubs across the state that impact survivors of abuse
- Fly Like an Eagle – Best club project (new or enhanced) that aids shelters for survivors in our state
- Defying Gravity – Best club project that encourages club members to work legislatively to influence our representatives regarding bills intending to prevent abuse and/or helping survivors succeed in life. Usage of the Legislative Action Center nationally and locally will be a focus
Junior Director's Theme & Special Project
I am proud to champion Spread Your Wings, a mission dedicated to ending period poverty among youth by increasing access to period products, expanding education and resources, and breaking the stigma surrounding menstruation. Period poverty is the lack of access to menstrual products, proper sanitation, education, and hygiene facilities. We can make meaningful progress toward this goal through three key areas of action: providing access, educating our communities, and advocating for lasting change.
Imagine being told that your education or your paycheck has to pause every month because of something you have absolutely no control over. That is the reality of period poverty. And what makes this even more frustrating is that menstruation is not optional. It’s not a luxury; it’s a biological reality. Yet menstrual products are often treated as though they are optional—taxed as non-essential items, unavailable in many public restrooms, and excluded from some emergency assistance programs. And that’s why Spread Your Wings exists. Because no young person should have to miss school, activities, opportunities, or important moments simply because they don’t have access to a basic necessity. My hope is that through this project, we can provide access, educate our communities, and advocate for lasting change.
To recognize and celebrate each club‘s achievements, the following awards will be presented based on reported project accomplishments:
- Periodt. - Awarded to the club with the highest per capita donation by fundraising, in-kind support, or volunteering to any organization that advocates for period poverty .
- Super - Awarded to the club that overall best incorporates the Director of Junior Clubs Special Project, “Spread Your Wings“ in effort to help spread awareness about period poverty through fundraising, in-kind support, or volunteering.
- P.M.S. (Partnership & Mutual Success) - Awarded to the clubs that use collaborative efforts in their participation of the Director of Junior Clubs Special Project, “Spread Your Wings“.
