Volunteer organization where women, new to the city, build friendships and knowledge of the community through social, cultural and outdoor activities.
The VWNC was founded to help women meet friends by participating with others new to the city in a variety of club activities. The club hosts monthly luncheons on the first Thursday with speakers of interest to the diverse group of women who are club members. Book clubs, hiking, city and art tours, movies, theatre, and bridge are just some of the many activities offered. Some, such as in-home dinners, appetizer evenings and pub nights, welcome partners.
