About Us

GFWC Dominion Woman's Club is a club intended for women, over the age of 18, interested in serving the needs of and enhancing the communities of Prince William County and Fauquier County of Virginia. It is a member of the GFWC Virginia State Federations, which in turn is a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC), an international volunteer organization with members in every state in the United States and 20 countries.  

Our organization's mission is to improve our community by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service. We encourage our clubwomen to improve their skills, expand their rights and apply their abilities and special sensitivity to the problems of our community, our nation and our world.  

Our motto is "Unity in Diversity". We seek diversity in our club women, so that we might all benefit from their varied experiences, unique perspectives and diverse interests in reaching out to our community. We acknowledge and celebrate the strengths and talents of each individual member, knowing we can accomplish most when we work as one.   

Dominion Woman's Club members have the choice to select from a wide range of projects in the arts, conservation, education, home life, international affairs, and public affairs. We believe everyone has something to offer and gratefully accept whatever time and support an individual is able to contribute.    

Dominion Woman's Club was born on February 18, 2007, when a group of women gathered at the Dominion Valley home of Nanette McKeel Petrella, to consider the formation of a woman's club. Under the guidance of Joan Morton, President Northern District, GFWC Virginia and Lori Rocker, GFWC VA Assistant Director of Junior Clubs and Joan Rogers, GFWC VA Membership Strategy Team Member, the women present passed a resolution to form a club.   One month later, on March 18, 2007, the club adopted their bylaws, enrolled 35 charter members and elected their officers. Yet another month later, on April 19, 2007, GFWC Virginia Executive Board declared the Dominion Woman's Club to be a member of GFWC Virginia and The General Federation of Women's Clubs.
