Coming together to support the health & welfare of our community

The community is invited to The Valley Women’s Club’s (VWC) 42nd Annual General Meeting, Sunday, March 22, 11:30-2:30 at the Highland’s Park Senior Citizens Center located at 8500 Highway 9, Ben Lomond. The Annual Meeting is a potluck lunch and social event, featuring delicious food and friendship and an inside look at the VWC’s past and future. 

Additionally, State Senator Anna Eshoo, California State Assemblymember Mark Stone, and County Supervisor Bruce McPherson, will join us for a special presentation to a long-time VWC volunteer in recognition of their accomplishments. They will also present important updates about county and statewide issues and their impact on the San Lorenzo Valley.

At this year’s meeting, we will highlight our 2019 accomplishments, such as our Hammer-Marcum Awards, how our Environmental Committee helped address PG&E issues in the Valley, and the progress our SLV Native Habitat Restoration Program made extending the areas of restoration. We will also share some exciting news about our future projects for 2020, including:

• The SLV Native Habitat Restoration Program will present the beginnings of the Monarch Butterfly Pollinator Gardens Project, and in conjunction with SC County Parks, a California State approved third, fourth, and fifth-grade curriculum for the creation of pollinator gardens.
• Working with the Women’s Commission and statewide women’s groups on Suffrage Centennial events, including an art exhibit at the Santa Cruz County Building in the fall focusing on Women’s Suffrage.

Everyone is welcome to attend this event and to meet and greet those dedicated individuals who come together regularly to strengthen the community where we live. Please bring a potluck dish to share, along with your plate and utensils. Desserts and beverages will be provided. For more information, contact Linda Skeff at (831) 338-9500 or email.
