Marco Island Woman’s Club

The amazing ladies of the Marco Island Woman’s Club (MIWC) love this community from the bottom of their hearts! They showed their connection and commitment to this island in many ways during the month of July.  

Camp Able was a rewarding opportunity for volunteerism. The Marco Island Woman’s Club Charitable Foundation proudly supported this event with a financial donation, while several members of the club volunteered their time and talents serving both dinner for the opening night and breakfast for the dedicated staff of this wonderful event. Camp Able is a wonderful week filled with fun, laughter, and happiness for people of all ages with diverse abilities. The event focuses on abilities, rather than disabilities. MIWC was thrilled with the ability to be of service!  

Next, we literally got to the heart of this community. Several MIWC members completed American Heart Association certified CPR/AED training with the instruction of Hafid Oliver of Marco Island Fire Rescue. Did you know that CPR compressions can save the life of someone in cardiac arrest by maintaining blood flow and oxygen to vital organs until a regular heartbeat returns? An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is a medical device used to treat sudden cardiac arrest by delivering an electrical shock to the heart, potentially restoring a normal heart rhythm. MIWC is extremely grateful to Marco Island Fire Rescue for the opportunity to be certified in these lifesaving techniques. Training classes are held free of charge each third Saturday morning at MIFR Headquarters, so be sure to call MIFR at 239-389-5040 to register for the next session.  

Our official MIWC schedule of luncheon meetings resumes in October on the first Wednesday of each month at Naples Lakes Country Club. In the meantime, we are planning some upcoming fun for the summer with several events, including lunch at Hideaway in August and a private showing of the new Downton Abbey movie at Marco Movies in September. 

As you can see, the ladies of MIWC like to reach out and touch this community. Wouldn’t you like to join this amazing club? Membership is available to all women who live on Marco Island, seasonal or full-time. Please visit https://marcowomansclub.com to learn more.
