CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS!
125th Anniversary GFWC Georgia Cookbook
Thank you to everyone that submitted recipes for our 125th Anniversary Cookbook. The State received 492 recipes and I noticed a lot of submissions from our North West District club members. The cookbook contains recipes that are not only delicious, but some that are so quick and easy that I decided to purchase an additional cookbook for my daughter in college. The cookbook also includes the history of GFWC Georgia and our Past Presidents. I encourage everyone to purchase one!

Visit our GFWC Georgia Marketplace here to purchase yours today - https://georgia-federation-of-womens-club.square.site/
