Welcome!
A note from Jennifer Brighton Lopez | Club President, 2010-2012
A time for reflection, a time for new beginnings, a new dawn! As spring arrives, we ask: What do we want to accomplish? Whose lives may we touch and be touched by? Who do we want to be at the end of the year? 
As we consider these questions, we are guided by those women who have gone before us. Our club logo, at left, is one example: On Dec. 1, 2011, our members voted to adopt a design that is based on the cover of the 1961 Scrapbook, a volume completed at the end of the club's first year. Dec. 1 is the same day, 50 years ago, that the club received certification as a member organization of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. The club is in District VI of the GFWC-NC. As you read more about the Wake Forest Woman's Club, we hope you will consider joining us! Membership is open to any woman who lives in Wake Forest, N.C., or the surrounding vicinity.
Summary of Projects
Club honors origins, continues mission
Local women came together in June of 1961 to pursue a dedication to community service, and 50 years later, members of the Wake Forest Woman's Club continue that mission. During the current administration, members have invested time in Back Pack Buddies, Stop Hunger Now Million Meals, Meals on Wheels, Habitat for Humanity, the national Women in Military Service Memorial and more. We have participated in Art in the Park, Wake Forest Arbor Day and other local projects. With an emphasis on literacy, the club awards a scholarship annually to an area student, and members serve as tutors in the public school system.
As a nonprofit service organization, the Wake Forest Woman's Club relies on fundraising to support its community projects. The annual Antiques Show and Sale - the club's major fundraiser - was staged in historic Wake Forest on March 30, 31, and April 1, at the Ledford Center on the campus of the Southeastern Baptist Seminary. The club also will participate in the annual Heritage Wake Forest Parade of Homes in the fall, as well as the community's Home Tour near the holidays.
