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!
.......................................30 YEARS !!!
We’re celebrating 30 years of great WOW luncheons, activities, community service, and memories!!! I’ve made so many friends at WOW and am so thankful for all of you. I especially want to thank our founding women Jerry Buchanan, Aurie Bremmer, and Clarice Drexler. Sadly, Jerry and Aurie are no longer with us, but the legacy of these three women lives on with all of us.
