Benefits of Membership – Since 1904, The Woman’s Club of Raleigh (TWCR) has had an impact in our community on women and health, environmental and civic issues, children’s education and welfare, and cultural and international understanding. As an organization we focus on five key areas: Arts and Culture, Civic Engagement and Outreach, Environment, Education and Libraries, and Health and Wellness. The women that join this club build common bonds that make it fun to work together to accomplish our mission “Community Service Through Volunteerism.”

Membership Requirements – In order to become a member of TWCR, you must complete each of the following requirements:

• Attend two activities of the Woman’s Club, either General Meeting luncheons on the second Wednesday of each month or any other club organized activities.
• Be sponsored by any Active Member or the Membership Recruitment Vice President.
• Obtain an Application for Membership from the Membership Recruitment Vice President or the website and submit it completed with the following: 1.) A one time application fee of $50 and 2.) Your prorated dues.

The dues for your first year of membership are 1/12 of the total annual membership dues of $175 multiplied by the number of months remaining in the club year, starting the month following your election to membership and continuing through May. EXAMPLE: if your application is to be presented to the Board in October, then your monthly dues would begin in November and go through May, for a total of $102. plus the $50 application fee for an application total of $152.

New Member Orientation – New members are expected to attend orientation to assist them in learning about the club, applying what they learn, and beginning to engage and build relationships. Sessions are offered in person, via Zoom and self-study about the Club’s history, its leadership, culture, Community Service Programs (CSPs), and ways to begin “living the volunteer spirit.”
