How do I get involved?
Woman’s City Club offers a variety of opportunities for member involvement. WCC is a volunteer organization, and we encourage our members to participate in Club activities consistent with their levels of interest and availability. But every member is important to us, and membership has no requirements. You may choose just to contribute financially to the club to demonstrate your support of our mission and our work.
