Dear New Member,
Welcome to the Manchester Women’s Club. We look forward to getting to know you.
Just a few words about what we do. We are a community service club supporting several organizations such as the VNA, Fund to Prevent Homelessness, three different food pantries and other local projects. The Friendship Tree and program at Christmas and two college scholarships for local students are our main achievements. We support a number of local charities throughout the year.
No matter what talents, skills or abilities you have, you will find many opportunities in your area of interest. Along the way you’ll deepen old friendships and make many new ones. We value your participation in helping us continue to serve the community.
