We’d be delighted to welcome you as a new member! AWC is a non-profit service organization that contributes our time and money (provided through donations and fundraising) to help support our Scholarship program, community outreach events and selected philanthropies. While we work to serve our community, we also cherish the friendships and comradery of being a member of AWC. Business meetings are held at 11:00 am on the second Wednesday of the month, September through June and are important to attend. The agenda typically focuses on club business and meeting our philanthropic goals, in addition to enjoying a bit of socializing. This is when we sign up to participate in our man volunteer activities. On the fourth Wednesday of each month, at 11:30 am, we schedule a luncheon with a keynote speaker. Speakers have included: local historians, Sharon Burke and Beverly Lane, who shared tales of Alamo's past and Erna Grasz, founder of a non profit organization that educates East Africa youth. Lunches have a $10 speaker fee or $25 if lunch is reserved. Our interest/social groups include: Book Clubs, Walkie Talkies, Stitch in Time, Mah Jongg, Swingles, Movie Night and Nosh and Explore. Nosh and Explore focuses on day trips to Bay Area locations, such as the Filoli Mansion, Paramount Theater, and Tao House. A FEW MORE FACTS TO CONSIDER: Members should attend meetings regularly, satisfy kitchen crew duty for a given month at our two meetings, and work at three or more of our volunteer events each year. While we have many fun social activities, AWC is primarily a fundraising organization and members are expected to participate in our fundraising activities by purchasing and/or selling tickets to our fundraising events. After an initial application fee, an ongoing annual membership fee of $125 is required.. INTERESTED? Please send an email to our Membership chair: [email protected]. STILL THINKING? We love guests! You are welcome to attend one of our luncheon meetings, get to know our members and discover for yourself how we accomplish so many of our goals and have so much fun doing it. Check the calendar on our website: alamowomensclub.org for dates and information about our next luncheon..
