The mission of the GFWC Dawson County Woman’s Club is to unite women for a common purpose of service to others by having effective Community Service Programs (CSPs) and activities in order to help each member participate as a full time citizen to make the local, state, national, and world community a better place to live. Our club offers a range of volunteer opportunities in six different areas: Arts & Culture, Education & Libraries, Environment, Civic Engagement & Outreach, Health & Wellness and Domestic Violence Awareness. Each club member is encouraged to become involved in those areas and activities that interest them. Please refer to our Home Page where each area can be selected to learn more.

Tallulah Falls School – Our Club actively supports the Tallulah Falls School, located in Northern Georgia. Tallulah Falls School was founded in 1909 by the Georgia Federation of Women’s Clubs and Mrs. Mary Ann Lipscomb, who was serving as the president of the Georgia Federation of Women’s Clubs. The School and the Federation have deep roots in the history of secondary education in Georgia. On July 12, 1909, Tallulah Falls School opened its doors to 21 mountain children from neighboring Habersham and Rabun Counties and continued to serve as both a public and a private institution of learning for more than sixty years. In 1970 the School became a privately chartered institution serving students from throughout Georgia, the Southeast, the nation, and abroad.
