We ignite the power of women to lead, serve and transform. By uniting compassionate hearts with informed action, we not only envision a stronger community–we build it together. True change is not an individual act. It’s the collective pulse of women driven by a shared purpose. When we move in unison, our service creates a ripple effect that enriches every life in our community.

Our Club actively supports the Tallulah Falls School (TFS), located in Northern Georgia. Tallulah Falls School was initially 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. For more information please visit Tallulah Falls School.
