Welcome to the history of GCFF

Below is a list of Presidents and Notes along with a link to the newsletters from some of the years.

Each link will open a PDF file of all the newsletters from that year with a Table of Contents for each month in order to make it easier to jump to a particular month's newsletter.

This information is what we have been able to piece together so far regarding GCFF history.
Thanks to Denis Pierce, Jimmie Marchio, Frank and Karen Rinella, Nita Keehn, Len Valente and probably some I have forgotten for the input.

Most of the information comes from newsletters from each particular year, as that is all we have for most years. I was able to see club minutes for a few years.

Check out some pictures in the GCFF History Album

Now it is your turn to make corrections and fill in the blanks!

Please contact Mike Connor with any information you may have!
