Woman's Club of Arroyo Grande

Woman's Club of Arroyo Grande We are a non-profit, philanthropic club dedicated to promoting the welfare of our community. Join our monthly luncheons, September thru May.

Hosting annual fundraisers, Artisan Faire, Bingo, and Fashion Show, supporting local initiatives and scholarships. In the 1930's, a very small group of area women began to meet in their homes to get better acquainted and to share ideas about their children families, gardens, books, recipes, and more. From this small start, the Woman's Club of Arroyo Grande was born and on April 16, 1937, the first

official meeting of the club was with 150 women in attendance. Some 80 women from the community joined. As this organization, based on friendship and unity was formed, Mrs. Sibyl Poyner, the president, believed that the new club needed a fund raising project that would involve the entire community. She suggested that the club sponsor a country or county fair as its first project, emphasizing what everyone owed to the local farmers. The members voted to have a country fair to be held at harvest time and that it would include exhibits, concessions, entertainment, and food. This was the first "Arroyo Grande Valley Harvest Festival". With all sorts of committees working in concert all summer, the Woman's Club was able to hold the first Harvest Festival that fall in the old Orchard Avenue Elementary School. it was a two day event and some 1,100 people attended. Now, the event is one of the biggest festivals on the central coast and draws thousands of people to our area each fall. Early on our fundraisers netted sufficient funds to purchase a building for a clubhouse, which we now own in partnership with the city. The Woman's Club is still able to use the clubhouse for all it's activities and the city is able to rent the space out to various organizations and people. The Woman's Club is still a community minded organization. We have around 100 members who actively plan and participate in two or three fund raising events every year. All our proceeds are given back to the local community through educational scholarships and donations to local charities.
