Marco Island Woman’s Club Takes a Break to Have Fun

After Marco Island Woman’s Club (MIWC) hosted their first 2019 fundraiser, the successful 19th annual fashion show in January, members and supporters took a well-deserved break to relax and just have fun at their annual Cards & Games Party at the Marco Island Yacht Club.

The event, organized by Sue Ellen Welch and Karen Maxfield, was attended by fifty women. Vice President Sue Ellen Welch welcomed everyone and Past President Priscilla Penn gave the invocation.

Following the luncheon, ladies enjoyed socializing and playing a variety of games, including Bridge, Canasta, Farkle, Hand Knee and Foot, Mah Jong, and Mexican Train. Over 50 raffle items were awarded to attendees and everyone received a large wine glass filled with assorted Valentine’s Day candies.

Marco Island Woman’s Club next major fundraiser is the popular 18th Annual Elegant Home Tour that will be held March 26. The tour of four beautiful homes begins at 8:45 AM, followed by a luncheon and “Cork Pull” at the Marco Island Yacht Club. Tickets are $125 for Patron and $110 for General Admission. Call Debbie Rago for more information at 860-798-0270.

The annual home tour and fashion show are MIWC’s major fund raisers to support the MIWC Foundation, that provides scholarships to graduating high school seniors living on Marco Island, and other deserving local charities.

Marco Island Woman’s Club next meeting is Wednesday, March 6 at the Marco Island Yacht Club. Social time begins at 11:30 AM, followed by a luncheon at noon.
