The Woman's Club is in the midst of a celebratory year in honor of the 100th anniversary of our club's formation. In recognition of this milestone we are making many improvements to our historic building and property. Along with our "What's New for the Holiday's" event, our annual holiday raffle helps us raise funds to benefit our historic preservation efforts.
