Mattapoisett Woman's Club announces 75th year activities

Sep 6, 2016

The Mattapoisett Woman’s Club begins its silver anniversary season on Thursday, Sept. 15 at noon with a welcome back potluck luncheon in Reynard Hall at the Mattapoisett Congregational Church, 27 Church St. All are welcome for this informal luncheon where upcoming programs and small group activities will be discussed.

Two months before the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the women of Mattapoisett came together to form the Woman’s Club. Throughout the last eight decades the club members have been active.

Plans are underway to celebrate the club’s 75th anniversary on Oct. 20 with an anniversary tea including displays of memorabilia from the 1940s to the present day.

In November the speaker will discuss creating a sustainable lifestyle that takes a lifelong commitment – to learning, experimenting, exploring and committing to increasingly sustainable practices.

December is an informal gathering where members will relax to holiday music during the hectic season of giving.

January’s program will focus on the neighboring town of Marion: its history and some of the town’s prominent women.

In February natural history and how it ties to human relationships within the local coastal community/environment will be the topic.

March’s speaker will give an overview of state parks and recreation areas near Mattapoisett and beyond.
