LIST OF SOCIALS

OUR CLUB
Our club meets in and around Chatham, Massachusetts, a lovely picturesque town of 7,000 residents in the winter and 36,000 residents in the summer. Located at the elbow of Cape Cod, the town is surrounded on three sides by water and sustains an active fishing industry and a vibrant arts, crafts, , retail, and hospitality economic base. Because much needs to be done to make our community the best it can be, the club was founded in 1915 and continues to set its sails for new horizons. This year we celebrate our 92nd year as a Club. The Club has been a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs International since 1924.

The objective of our Club is to broaden and strengthen the intellectual and social life of its members and to be a power for good in our community. Come JOIN US and see what we can do together.

PROGRAMS 2008-2009
Meetings of the Club are regularly scheduled from October through May on the second Thursday at the Chatham Community Center. Hospitality begins at 12 noon. The business meeting starts at 12:30 p.m. and the program commences at 1:00 p.m.

Thank you to the ladies of the Chatham Woman's Club who created a fabric square representing a Chatham landmark and together produced a beautiful quilt used to make a great contribution to the ways and means of the CWC!
