WOW seeks to provide its 150+ members the opportunity to learn about their community, support local charitable and civic activities, and socialize in an atmosphere of friendliness and goodwill. Aside from the luncheon meetings held monthly from September through May, WOW members are active in 16 clubs and activities throughout each month. In addition, several activities are planned where members can contribute their time and expertise or enjoy social outings with other members. Examples of these are day trips, fund raising activities and volunteering at our charity.
.... ....A Word from Our President
Hello Ladies!...............
Almost half of our membership celebrated WOW’s 30th Birthday at our October luncheon!!! We viewed pictures of members past and present, drew Simba with the help of a Disney artist, and enjoyed good food and cake. Please join me in thanking the gals that put this wonderful celebration together: Jennie Reagan and her team, Cynthia Johnson-Guarino, Alice Bergeson and her team, Barbara Aboushahba and Lou Ann Weeks (slideshow). Ladies, You ROCK!
Our November luncheon is at San Jose's Original Mexican Restaurant in Winter Garden. We get to be kids again playing with balloon artistry and hands on balloon design. See you soon…

Another exciting event scheduled is a WOW Ladies Cruise. Nov 3-7, 2025 on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas. Please contact me if you are interested. We still have a few cabins on hold. Fully refundable until August of 2025.
Name sound familiar but can't put a face to it? Check out our member photo album. So far 100+ members have been photographed at luncheons. Sorted by first name, you should be able to put a name with a face. Member Photo Album
