Please join us for our 25th Annual Founders’ Day Celebration, held again at the Woman's Club, which so many enjoyed last year.

The celebration includes a live musical performance followed by lunch. Before the festivities, we will hold a brief meeting to conduct the Society’s business and hear remarks by Dr. David Cline, one of our founders.

The entire event will be in the Lounge at the Woman’s Club, a beautiful space for a celebratory event.
