It was with pride that The GFWC Landmark Woman's Club of Germantown submitted the name of Anne Babin as our nominee for the GFWC of TN" Clubwoman of the Year" award.

Anne has been active at the Local, District and State levels of GFWC of TN, as well as many other organizations. She takes an active part in several organizations. We who know Anne, know how much effort she puts into making the TN Federation News the outstanding publication it has become. When Anne was presented the TN Clubwoman
