It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as your President, and I couldn't be more excited about the year ahead. Together, we have an incredible opportunity to build new friendships, strengthen our community, and create lasting memories through the many activities and traditions that make the Alamo Women's Club so special.
This handbook is your guide to everything AWC has to offer. Inside you'll find member contact information, Board and committee leadership, social group details, our annual calendar, important dates, and a variety of resources designed to help you make the most of your membership. Along with our website (alamowomensclub.org) and the Leaf newsletter, it will keep you connected and informed throughout the year.
I'm especially excited to share that we have already assembled an outstanding lineup of programs, speakers, social events, and community service opportunities for the coming year. Whether you've been a member for many years or are joining us for the first time, there will be something for everyone. I encourage you to explore new interests, attend our events, and become involved. One thing I've learned is that the more you participate, the more rewarding your AWC experience becomes.
Our club thrives because of the generosity and enthusiasm of our members. We ask everyone to participate on at least one committee and serve on the kitchen crew once during the year. These volunteer opportunities not only support our club but also provide wonderful ways to meet new friends and become part of our vibrant community.
Please mark your calendar for one of our signature events—the Authors' Faire at the Blackhawk Museum on Wednesday, March 24, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. This is always a highlight of our year, and I encourage you to invite friends and neighbors to join us for this exceptional event.
As we begin this new chapter together, I look forward to meeting many of you, hearing your ideas, and celebrating another remarkable year for the Alamo Women's Club. Thank you for your membership, your friendship, and your commitment to making AWC such a welcoming and inspiring organization.
Here's to a wonderful year ahead!
Warmly,
Julie Petrini
President, 2026–2027
