AWC club members are encouraged to select a “community service project area” in accordance with their interests. Volunteer opportunities are as diverse and as interesting as the AWC membership. See below for a general description of our five Community Service Programs:

• ARTS & CULTURE – Encourage members to create and contribute to arts education and activities in all communities. Engage members in developing and enjoying creative arts as a method of self-expression. Projects encourage artistic expression, recognizing achievements, and preserving art as a natural resource.
  1. Peachtree Women’s Writer’s Alliance (PWWA). In 2013, the development of this writing alliance came to fruition by some of female authors in our Club. We’re a flexible group that seeks to meet the needs of our members who have an interest in writing. We have members who are very new at writing, experienced technical writers, journalists, novelists, poets and short story authors. To learn more about our group, please email Billie Harris at hawcinc@live.com.

• 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.
