Libby Everett, a member of the Petal Cosmopolitan Club, was recently nominated for the GFWC Jennie Award. The General Federation of Women's Clubs Jennie Award honors one club woman from each GFWC region for outstanding commitment to club, community and family. Club members are chosen by their clubs to compete at state, region, and national levels for the Federation's highest honor.
The Jennie Award is named in honor of GFWC's founder, Jane Cunningham Croly. The award is an occasion to highlight extraordinary clubwomen who epitomize her spirit of independence, courage and persistence in purpose through their roles as volunteers within their clubs, elsewhere in the community, and as members of a family or extended family. The award is the only national honor that recognizes individual members for personal excellence.
