GFWC Woman’s Club of Tarpon Springs, Florida, Inc.
133 Years of Volunteering in Tarpon Springs
Embedded Files
The Woman’s Club of Tarpon Springs is entering its 133rd year and we have a proud heritage. Tarpon Springs is one of five clubs that met in 1895 in Green Cove Springs (Jacksonville area) to organize the Florida Federation of Women’s Clubs (FFWC) which now has over 240 Clubs statewide.
Being a volunteer today is every bit as important today as it was in 1892 when the Woman’s Club of Tarpon Springs was founded. On a given day, our members are hard at work in our library, the hospital, schools, churches, senior citizen organizations, nursing homes and many areas that benefit from our volunteerism. We are a very diversified group of women, all working toward the same goal: community improvement through volunteer service.
