One Hundred Years Ago
On November 6th 1908 a small group of twenty women, ambitious to be helpful
in the civic and cultural life of their community, organized the Woman's Club of Redondo Beach. An agenda was adopted
to support local charities, provide social services through volunteerism, promote cultural and civic advancement as well
as hosting social events.
The club was accepted into the General Federation of Women's Clubs in 1910, Incorporated
November 7, 1915 under the state laws of California, The California Federation of Women's Clubs.
On May 6, 1922 construction of the Clubhouse was begun at 400 South Broadway, Redondo
Beach.
In October 1922, the first meeting
was held in the new building.
We were
one of the first clubs to organize a Junior Membership in 1922.
The Dianas, an intermediary group was organized in 1932, for women under the age of 35, after which time they
would join the Woman's Club.
The Evening Division (to accommodate members who were unable to attend during the day) was
formed in 1949.
The Woman's Club of Redondo Beach continues to meet in the original Clubhouse the third Monday of the month
from September to June to socialize, share a meal, plan our philanthropies and fund raising events, enjoy a program,
and have fun!
