Volunteers in Action: GFWC Delaware
July 11, 2023
GFWC Delaware showed their support for Ukrainian women through the presentation of this stunning art piece. The embroidery by artist Deborah Johnson was given as a gift of love from GFWC Delaware to the Mitzi Perdue School for Girls in Ukraine.
In a collaborative effort, each flower was individually stitched by different parties. American Red roses representing the USA, Sunflowers for Ukraine, Peach Blossoms for Delaware, Forget Me Nots embroidered by an Alaskan tribe member, and pink roses by young mothers from a Delaware school were stitched to contribute to the gift from GFWC Delaware!
The base Ukraine silk was dyed by artist Johnson to match the blue color in the Ukraine Flag. The piece is entitled “Embracing Ukraine Lives”

Featured Club
GFWC Lawrence Classics Club
The GFWC Lawrence Classics Club (Kansas) has 19 members, and it’s an incredible mixture: one charter member has been involved since 1997; one member has been part of GFWC since 1960; there are a mother and daughter pair who are 2nd and 3rd generation clubwomen; four members are Boosters; and their youngest member only graduated from college last year. This assorted group shares the same values about volunteerism and puts them into action.
