The Woman’s Club may have had more members in the 1950’s/60’s but, that doesn’t mean they are not relevant today. In the beginning, these clubs were social clubs for women but, as times changed so did their focus. These women are just as passionate about serving their community as the Red Hat Society is about having fun. Having fun and serving your community isn’t exclusive. You can do both.
The Ringwood Woman’s Club also has the ability to finish what they start. For example, in 1979 just four years after their inception, they donated money to the building fund for a new library. And every year they raise funds for the library while still funding other projects. The new library opened its doors in 2000. The Ringwood Public Library is home base for the Ringwood Woman’s Club. They still continue to meet the needs of the Library’s wish list.
They also award 3 scholarships a year, sponsor a high school junior girl to attend Girl’s Career Institute for a week and a sophomore to attend the Hugh O’Brien Youth Program. Their projects are relevant and needed in the community, from donations to the local fire departments to flowers in a barrel.
