TIWC 75th President Caroline Chou visit GFWC headquarters in Washington DC.
Appreciate the warm welcome from GFWC International President Suellen Brazil and members in headquarters.
The elegant white headquarters has a history of more than 150 years. The surrounding area is like the Victorian era in Britain, all of which are historical buildings.
On the second floor you could saw a photo of Ms. Jane Cunningham Croly, the founder of GFWC. The entire second floor area includes a beautiful antique piano area, a dining area (which looks like Victorian Britain), a sunroom, a kitchen area, and a high-ceilinged elegant living room area. And as soon as you go up to the third floor there are many precious historical photo corridors, the walls of two meeting rooms are filled with photos of former presidents who once contributed to the organization, multiple offices, and the office of the International President. In addition, there is a historical materials room that resembles a library, preserving historical materials from GFWG over more than 100 years for members to access, of course including historical materials and publications sent by TIWC over the past 75 years to the GFWC headquarters.
Half of the 4th floor is the chairman’s small residence, while the remaining 4th and 5th floors have multiple rooms for supervisors who come to attend meetings to rest, just like the home of all members, which is really thoughtful.
Next time if you have chance to Washington DC, you could take time to visit this beautiful headquarters.
 
 
TIWC 第 75 任周郁萍會長拜訪華盛頓特區的 GFWC 總部。
感謝GFWC國際總會長Suellen Brazil女士及總部成員的熱烈歡迎。
優雅的白色總部已有超過 150 年的歷史。 周邊地區就像英國的維多利亞時代，全部都是歷史建築。
在二樓你可以看到GFWC創辦人簡·坎寧安·克羅利女士的照片。 整個二樓區域包括一個美麗的古董鋼琴區、一個用餐區（看起來像維多利亞時代的英國）、一個陽光房、一個廚房區，以及一個高天花板的優雅客廳區。 而且只要你一上到三樓，就有許多珍貴的歷史照片走廊，兩個會議室的牆上都貼滿了曾經為組織做出貢獻的前會長照片，多個辦公室以及國際總會長辦公室。 此外，還有一個類似圖書館的歷史資料室，保存了GFWG超過100年的歷史資料，供會員存取，當然也包括TIWC在過去75年間寄送到GFWC總部的歷史資料與出版物。
4 樓的一半是總會長的小住所，其餘 4 樓和 5 樓則有多間房間供前來開會的主管休息，就像全體成員 的家一樣，真是貼心。
下次如果你有機會到華盛頓特區，你可以抽時間參觀這個美麗的總部。

During the meeting, besides exchanging New Year’s greetings, we also had the pleasure of a beautiful pipa player performing a lively medley of Year of the Horse pieces. Everyone danced along, creating a truly joyful and lively atmosphere.

 

Our best performing group at TIWC—the Mamarina Ocarina group—dressed up as always and performed beautiful pieces such as “The True Meaning of Love” and “The Gift of Love.” They also led all members in playing the kazoo, creating wonderful Lunar New Year memories together.
