“ When I think of the Moultrie Federated Guild , my mind ’ s eye looks back to its rich history ,” said Jessica Jordan , member and past president of Moultrie Federated Guild . “ The Guild was formed in 1948 and immediately became involved in community service to Moultrie and Colquitt County . The mission of the Guild is the same today as it was in 1948 , and we continue to strive to help meet the current needs of our community . The hundreds of ladies who have walked through the doors of the Women ’ s Clubhouse since it was built in 1939 , have paved the way for the organization that we are today . I love being a Guild member !”
