The Marlinton and Seneca
Woodlands Woman's Clubs con-
ducted a joint meeting April 24 to
view the satellite-relayed program
from Washington, D. C., celebrating
the GFWC's centennial.
According to Ruth Morgan, the
GFWC began in 1890 when 63
women from 18 states gathered in
New York City to form a federation
with the motto "Unity in Diversity."
The motto expressed the theme of
women from diverse backgrounds
and locations "pioneering" together
as volunteers in their communities,
states, and nation. "Facing chal-
lenges to their right to meet and
work together, or even to stand at a
podium and speak," Mrs Morgan
wrote, "today this women's volunteer
movement is credited with signifi-
cant achievements and triumphs.
These include being in the forefront
of initiating responsiveness to com-
munity needs and, together as
member clubs, accomplishments in
education, establishing public librar-
ies, support of food and drug regula-
tions, child labor laws, conservation,
beautification, and much more."
The Marlinton Woman's Club or-
ganized with eight members in 1917
as "The Woman's Literary Club of
Martinton." Mrs P. A. George of
Ronceverte presided at the organ-
izational meeting. For many years
membership was limited to 25, and
meetings were held in members'
homes. Today the club has 32
members.

Beautification Winners
Gap Mills Elementary and Junmr High schools received the third-place
award April 27 for their placement in the statewide School Beautifica-
tion Project, sponsored by the Parent-Teachers Association (PTA) of
West Virginia. Gap Mills PTA member Naomi Cohen, left, accepted the
award from Mary Boone of McDonough-Caperton Insurance Group,
which funded the $300 given to the school. The presentation was part
of the annual meeting of the statewide PTA in Charleston. The school
placed third out of all state schools with over 300 students for its work
of installing two new signs, landscaping, and new playground equip-
ment. Ms Cohen said, "This is a great accomplishment, especially
considering the fact Gap Mills has had an active PTA for only two
years. We appreciate the encouragement of our principal, Larry Mus-
rain, and all those parents, students, and community members who
helped by their contributions and volunteer labor."
