Eleven o’clock on Thursday morning, September 21, marks the beginning of a new year for the Mattapoisett Woman’s Club. Following the 11:00 am social get-together time and recognition of new members, we will begin our annual gala potluck luncheon at approximately 11:45 am. A brief business meeting and adjournment will follow the luncheon.
These festivities and all upcoming monthly meetings are held at Reynaud Hall at the Mattapoisett Congregational Church at 27 Church Street in Mattapoisett, and members, both new members as well as existing members, are always welcome to attend.
Membership in the Mattapoisett Woman’s Club is open year-round to everyone in the South Coast area. Among the club’s many interests and community activities are fundraisers, including the Daffodil Days project, an annual Greens and Wreath sale, a biennial Garden Tour and the annual Taste of the Town and Pie and More Sale, which are held during the Mattapoisett Lions Club’s Harbor Days.
From the revenue obtained through these and other fundraisers, we award several scholarships each year to local high school and continuing-education students and offer financial support to local social and community-service agencies.
Among our many activities are: the Garden Group, which creates and maintains the seasonal plantings in town; the Mahjong Group that meets weekly in conjunction with the Council on Aging; the Bridge Group that meets biweekly; the Literature Group that meets monthly; a Great Decisions discussion program that meets from January through most of March; the Knitting and Handiwork Group that meets monthly and the Ladies Lunch Group, all of which make for a very busy year for members of the Mattapoisett Woman’s Club.
