GFWC Santa Rosa Womans Club members and guests celebrate with Pfeiffer Carolyn Pfeiffer has been a member of the GFWC Santa Rosa Womans Club for 50 years. She became a member when a friend, with whom she was bowling, invited her to join the at-that-time small club. She joined and the next year she became the Clubs Secretary. She has held practically every office in her local club and served three two-year terms as President. From there she graduated into being the District Director and then held offices in the Florida Federation of Womens Clubs.

Santa Rosa Womans Club members were so impressed by Pfeiffers tenure in their club that on March 7, they celebrated these 50 years with her. While planning the celebration they found that club members in other districts wanted to celebrate with Pfeiffer as well. So three guests came from Crestview Womans Club and 4 guests from Fort Walton Womans Club, including the District Director Liaison Betty Boudreau.

Members turn out to hear the IMPACT 100 2017 Membership Drive Numbers. Pfeiffer exclaimed, I felt super honored when the GFWC Santa Rosa Womans Club celebrated with me my 50 years of membership in the Club. They gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers, had a cake decorated with our clubs yellow roses with the 50 years and my birthday (which was two days after that) on it, and invited friends from neighboring clubs who came to celebrate with me. I received many congratulations that day, and was much appreciative of all the good wishes by my friends.

From early membership in this organization, Pfeiffer participated in many charitable projects not only locally but also statewide and nationwide. She says, But the most important thing to me is that I have made many true friends from all over, which all started from my local club membership.
