The WHRC Newsletter is a quarterly publication which highlights the history, achievements, and collections maintenance of GFWC Clubs around the country. Each Newsletter features a theme which is chosen to reflect a milestone in GFWC or American history, or significant triumphs in the preservation of GFWC and women’s history. Articles are submitted and written by clubwomen to emphasize the diversity of members, histories and accomplishments within GFWC.

Melanie Carriker Stevens understands GFWC tradition and legacy. Daughter of GFWC Communications and PR Chairman Wendy Carriker, Melanie was inspired to form the GFWC Legacy Woman's Club, which celebrates the dedication of grandmothers, mothers, aunts, sisters, and cousins. The GFWC Legacy Club received its charter at the 2015 GFWC Annual Convention in Memphis.

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.
