GFWC Membership Incentives

Your club can recognize members with 50 years of service to GFWC by ordering a GFWC 50 Year Gold Pin. Contact GFWC Headquarters – www.GFWC.org/LoyaltyPins or submit the form found in the GFWC Club Manual, section Forms.  Members who were previously awarded a 50 year Gold Card may obtain a 50 Year Gold Pin for $5.  A GFWC  25  Year Silver Pin may also be ordered to recognize members with 25 years of service. Contact GFWC or refer to your GFWC Club Manual for details.  

Recruit new members and become a GFWC Grandmaster Player.    Fill out the Game Piece Coupon (found in your District Handbook)  for each new member recruited between February 1, 2008 and January 31, 2009 and send it to your district Second Vice President.

• Each new member will receive a note of welcome from the district and from GFWC Virginia.

• The registration fee to attend the 2009 GFWC Virginia Convention will be paid for each district’s top Grandmaster Player. Each district’s Grandmaster Player will be recognized at the 2009 GFWC Virginia Convention. The GFWC Virginia Grandmaster who sends the most Game Piece Coupons, one for each new member recruited, to the district Membership Chairman, will receive a live Dogwood tree.

•  All district Players will be eligible for the grand prize drawing of a “Federation Basket”. The drawing will be done during the 2009 GFWC Virginia Convention. Each coupon sent to the district Membership Chairman increases your chance to win!

Completion of the Game Piece Coupon will also serve to document member recruitment for GFWC STAR Pin Recipients.   Club members who recruit 5-9 new members receive a white star; 10-14 new members: a red star; 15-19 new members: a blue star; 20-24 new members: a silver star and 25 plus new members: a gold star. The star recruitment award is cumulative. Members who recruited five new members during the previous administration will be eligible to receive a red, blue or even a GOLD star for continuing their recruitment success during the 2008-2010 administration. All completed coupons sent to your district Second Vice President will be forwarded to GFWC VA Second Vice President, Dale Fisher.   She will keep a record of each and will order pins from GFWC.  

Your club could win a $50.00 GFWC annual award for outstanding creativity in implementing the GFWC Membership Program.  Details are found in the Membership Program in the 2008-2010 GFWC Club Manual. Your club could be the winner!!!
