On December 6, 1925, fifty-four Carmel women met at the Pine Inn and signed their names as Charter Members of the Carmel Woman’s Club. Today, 99 years later, the Carmel Woman’s Club is still going strong with over 400 members from the entire community.
When the Woman’s Club started the stated Objective was “The specific and primary purpose of this Corporation shall be to promote through charitable giving; mutual help, intellectual advancement, social enjoyment and welfare of the community” and that objective is still what we strive to achieve each and every year.
We invite you to become a member and join us for our programs which are given on the first and third Monday of each month between October and May and for our special Fall Fundraiser, Spring Fashion Show and the Annual Meeting on the first Monday of June. The diversity of events planned by our Board of Directors provides considerable intellectual stimulation as well as social enjoyment.
Programs and Events: Programs featuring guest speakers, groups, or entertainers are held twice a month between October and May. A reception with tea sandwiches and desserts is held immediately following our program and provides an opportunity to meet members and visit. Members volunteer to bring sandwiches or desserts to one program per year.
