The first meeting of the Worthington Women’s Club was on September 27, 1932. The club was founded by members of the Worthington Circle of the Child Conservation League who felt the need for a richer community experience for Worthington women. The objectives of the new club were to promote friendship, to create opportunities for sharing common interests and to participate in community affairs.
The club’s creed, written by Marie Vandergrift, was first published in the 1946 yearbook and is read yearly at the September general meeting. Vibrant membership and visionary leadership were vital to the success of Worthington Women’s Club in meeting its original objectives and becoming a presence in the community.
The current members of Worthington Women’s Club are indebted to the creativity and vision of the club’s founders, leaders and the members who preceded us. The foundation of the club is strong. The challenge of the future is to continue to move forward with enthusiastic and creative spirit while always maintaining the club’s traditions and core objectives.
