Tools that can help keep your child safe online: Set age appropriate filters. Consider using monitoring software. Get in the habit of checking their online accounts, including viewing browser history. Be sure to check each browser and search engine on every device. Set time limits for online activities. The internet is available to everyone, and lots of people that you wouldn't trust with your child are there. Make sure you take precautions to keep your child safe. #GFWC #GFWCNC #GFWCNCJointheRhythm #GFWCNCAdvocates4Children #EducateProtectEmpower

One study found that children exposed to violence in the home were 15 times more likely to be physically and/or sexually assaulted than the national average. Using statistics we can show how important it is to speak up and speak out to save women and children. #GFWC #GFWCNC #GFWCNCJointheRhythm #GFWCNCStopDomesticViolence #SpeakUpAndSpeakOut

One of the Benefits of Belonging is friendship. As volunteer minded women, we enrich the lives of others through service. As we serve others we become friends, and as we take part in district, state, and international meetings we make friends across the federation. These friendships enrich our lives as we are helping others. While it is a personal benefit of belonging, it is one that we all can enjoy as we look forward to seeing our federation friends at meetings, while serving and beyond. ❤️ #gfwcncmembership #BenefitsofBelonging #FindYourBeatJoinTheRhythm #GFWCNC #GFWC #FederationSisters #GFWCNCJointheRhythm #WeareGFWC #BetterTogether

GFWC is sponsoring this upcoming Learning Gateway Series. They are requesting our membership to register for these events in advance.

The first of these events focuses on ESO, the second Heart Health Awareness, and the third, Building Membership. Please register as soon as possible to reserve a spot! Click the links to register.

Internet Safety for Children: Remember services like GMail and Yahoo offer email that can be accessed by any computer. Having open lines of communication with your children will lessen chances they will sneak behind your back and find trouble. Parental involvement will make it easier to approach you in the event they do need help. #GFWC #GFWCNC #GFWCNCJointheRhythm #GFWCNCAdvocates4Children #EducateProtectEmpower
