What We Do
| MISSION STATEMENT |
|---|
FLWC promotes charitable and educational activities through volunteerism. We award one or more annual scholarships to deserving high school senior girls, coordinate activities with fellow Woman's Clubs and other local groups, support local, national, and international charities through money and/or goods.
We have programs on health, civic issues, education, art, home and family concerns, and international affairs. We encourage leadership and participation of women of all ages.
We also have some times for having fun! Past events on our social agenda have included visits to Stranahan House, historic Bonnet House, the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, and the "Rockettes" at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
We invite you to contact us and attend a meeting. We welcome women of all ages to our club. Through the united efforts of Florida Club Women throughout the state, most areas of concern and involvement are covered by the following six departments and their divisions:
