The Wilton Woman’s Club will kick off its 2024-25 year with a Kick Off the Season Party at Old Town Hall on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 6 p.m. All are welcome to come together to catch up with old friends, meet new friends, and hear about club plans for the upcoming year.
The club will focus this year on strengthening social bonds among community members in Wilton. Each month includes Dinner Club get-togethers, Lunch Club get-togethers, Wednesday morning walks on the NRVT trail, Book Club meeting nights, and regular monthly club meetings. Visit the website for details, to join and to RSVP.
A highlight again this year will be a small-group trip to Arthur Ave. in the Bronx, led by Arthur Ave. expert and Wilton First Selectman Toni Boucher. On that day, the group will tour bakeries, delicatessens and shops, and eat together at one of the many delicious and authentic Italian restaurants there.
The Wilton Woman’s Club was founded in 1966 by Betty Sternad and friends. Since the start, the club has contributed to the common good through a variety of community service projects. Today, the WWC is the only group that goes to the CT Food Bank each week to bring fresh meat and produce to the Wilton Food Pantry. The club also serves lunch to seniors at Ogden House and makes meals at holiday times to deliver to homebound residents.
In April, the WWC held its 15th Annual Fashion Show Fundraiser at Rolling Hills Country Club and raised almost $25,000 to donate to Waveny-Visiting Nurse & Hospice to provide professional caregiver respite. The 2025 beneficiary will be announced on Dec. 4 at the WWC Holiday Lunch.
“We look forward to meeting more women in Wilton this year, contributing to the community, and strengthening bonds. Come join us and meet a whole new group of people. We look forward to seeing you,” WWC President Maria Wilcox said.
