The Arlington Woman's Club is dedicated to promoting and developing the potential of its members through education and benefiting the community through philantropic ventures. The Woman's Club is composed of 16 departments with programs in Antique, Art and Design, Bible/Joyful Living, Book Review, Bridge, Creative Living, Garden & Gourmet, Literature, Mah Jong, Performing Arts, Quilting, Theory of

Games, and Travel. AWC provides scholarships to graduating seniors from each of the Arlington high schools, as well as a graduating senior whose parent is a first responder, who will be continuing their education at a college or trade school in the coming year. The objectives of the Club are represented by the four sections of our crest: Science, Fine Arts, Religion, and Education. Membership is open to women who support and will actively uphold the mission and pursue the goals of the Arlington Woman's Club.

Performing Arts Installation and Awards May 2

John and Sara DeMore dressed in “Blues Brothers” attire and installed the 2024-2025 PAD officers. Each officer was serenaded by the DeMores’ special rendition of the Everly Brothers’ tunes. Following the installation Judy Duke assigned each PAD member a special song along with a special Award. The annual Strawberry Awards were full of nostalgia and were presented to those who “deserved” them for amusing comments they had made in the past. As always, the refreshments were plentiful and delicious. May birthdays were celebrated as well.
