Lovely Ladies with a Purpose

The Marco Island Woman’s Club is home to some very special ladies and special events. The monthly luncheons, held at the MI Yacht Club, on the first Wednesday of the month, October thru May, are interesting and informative and just plain fun. There are even informal lunches held in the summer for those members who stay here during the off-season.

More important than our lunch gatherings are the membership’s camaraderie and sense of purpose. The Club supports numerous philanthropic endeavors that give back to our community. We are proud of our annual scholarship programs that award college scholarships to local students to help them to pursue their dreams. We take great pride in supporting the Shelter for Battered and Abused Women and Children.

Thanks to our large and talented stitching group, we are regular donors bringing warm hats to migrant farm workers and Manatee Elementary School families, as well as beautiful blankets to Golisano Children’s Hospital. And there is always an eye on the environment - the Club co-sponsors an annual Beach clean-up with the City. We donate both money and groceries to our local food pantry. The list goes on and on and it brings a sense of pride to all of us Club members to be such an integral part of our Community.

I am very proud to be a Club member and you can be too. Contact me, Caitlin Robinson Carlson, for membership information at 239-692-5619 or MIWCEL@gmail.com. You can check us out on FaceBook and on our website at www.marcowomansclub.com.
