GFWC Unveils 125th Anniversary Stamp

March 4, 2015

The 125th Anniversary stamp is here! GFWC celebrates 125 years of Federated service in 2015, and we wanted to commemorate the occasion with a new stamp design.

In 1996 the United States Post Office awarded GFWC a 5-cent stamp in honor of its 75^th anniversary. Although stamps don’t quite hold the same weight they once did, it was decided to produce a new design as part of our 125^th anniversary celebration. We’ve come up with a striking, modern look that still echoes GFWC’s history and legacy. The deep red is taken from the GFWC color emblem. The rose, the official flower of GFWC is featured in the lower right. And GFWC’s new tagline, Living the Volunteer Spirit, is proudly displayed below the 125.

For those contributing to GFWC’s Capital Campaign, a framed, commemorative piece featuring the stamp and the 75th anniversary stamp will be yours to cherish. We are also planning to offer the 125th Stamp design to purchase through Stamps.com in the near future. Stay tuned to News&Notes for more details when the stamp becomes available.
