The champagne brunch on September 16 was an overwhelming success. Members and guests all wanted to see the completed refurbishing of their historic clubhouse. The new décor was greeted with raves.
A delicious brunch was catered by Debra Amos. A total of 19 new members have joined in the last few months. Mae Craig delighted everyone with her fall decorations using scarecrows.
Following the membership brunch, the first club meeting was held on October 7 and brought out one of the largest crowds in years.
President Floretta Lauber stated to the membership that her goal is to bring the Woman’s Club of Arcadia back to its number one spot in the community.
“We have brought the clubhouse back,” states Lauber. “Now we will be impacting the community with our new thrusts…first on the list is joining the Domestic Violence Action Coalition that was started in the neighboring community of Covina after the murder in 2007 (by her husband) of one of their citizens, now 26. California Federation of Woman’s Clubs have banded together to bring awareness to each of their cities.
