Since its establishment in 1908, the Women’s Club has been a powerful force in the community, making significant impacts through various initiatives, from charity work to organizing fundraisers and festivals. Throughout its rich history, the club has consistently stepped up to provide support and assistance to anyone in need, embodying the spirit of collaboration and compassion.

The Grand Terrace Women’s Club has always recognized that their mission extends beyond their immediate surroundings. Their commitment to community service is evident in the variety of events and programs they organize. Charitable contributions and fundraising efforts have helped countless individuals and families face life’s challenges. The club’s outreach isn’t limited to the immediate community of Grand Terrace; they’ve made it a priority to extend support to those in surrounding areas, demonstrating a deep sense of responsibility and care.

This Summer the Women’s Club hosted a beautiful award ceremony at Woody’s to celebrate their members alongside the crucial sponsors introduced to them by  City Council ( Arevon Energy) a large supporter who  contributed to their success. This event served not just as a celebration, but also as a heartfelt thank you to the city for its generous donations as well to the GT woman’s club, which have allowed the club to expand its outreach efforts even further raising and helping support amounts over the tens of thousands. 

Among the highlights of the brunch was a special recognition for Vicki Doyle , a dedicated member whose leadership and collaboration on recent projects have brought remarkable successes to the club. Her efforts, along with her team's, were celebrated with a beautifully crafted award, a well-deserved honor that emphasized the importance of teamwork and dedication within the Women’s Club.

With a variety of projects tailored to the unique needs of Grand Terrace, this chapter serves as a vibrant hub of activity, extending the club’s influence and ability to uplift those around them. The collaboration between chapters exemplifies the strength and solidarity within the Women’s Club, showcasing the broader impact of their efforts.

This inclusive approach strengthens their initiatives and allows for a diverse range of ideas and perspectives. Together, they continue to tackle bigger causes, uniting their efforts in the name of community improvement.

As the Women’s Club reflects on its achievements over the years, it remains focused on the future. There are big moves being made this year, with new projects and initiatives designed to enhance their community services.
