The GFWC Stone Mountain Woman’s Club (SMWC) is a community service organization for women who are dedicated to enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service in our community. Among other things, our members work to improve woman’s health, preserve natural resources, promote literacy and equality, and address domestic violence. Our goal is to improve our community, not simply with monetary donations, but with hands-on tangible projects that provide immediate impact. And it’s a great way to meet new people!
OUR HISTORY
In 1929, eleven women organized the Stone Mountain Woman's Club. Their initial goals were to clean up the debris and soot from the freight trains that came through town and to clean up and beautify the city and the local cemetery. In 1930, the Stone Mountain Woman's Club became affiliated with the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The members built a clubhouse in 1956 on donated land and paid the mortgage off within two years. For a number of years, the club sponsored a Horse Show as their main fundraiser. This was followed in subsequent years by a December Holiday Home Tour. Until the pandemic of 2020, they also sold homemade cakes and desserts at the Yellow Daisy Festival in Stone Mountain Park. The "Art of Nature Garden Tour" is the current fundraiser and was begun as a safe way for people to get outdoors and enjoy some nice gardens.
A subgroup of the club, the Night Guild, was begun in 2012 for ladies who could not attend the traditional daytime meeting. Club members are involved in many community projects. The Sue Kellogg Public Library was named after a club member who led the project to open a library in the City of Stone Mountain and who worked tirelessly until it became a reality. Membership is open to all women who are interested in supporting the community, helping those in need and working in partnership with other non-profits and some really great ladies.
We are a non-profit 501c3 tax exempt organization.
*In September of 2024, our clubhouse suffered extensive damage when an interior water supply line failed and flooded two thirds of the building. Reconstruction and renovation was completed in March of 2025. We celebrated with a Grand Reopening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.
