Besides having fun times together, we are a Club of volunteers and encourage our members to be active in the community and to participate in our Club-sponsored events. The Corning Area Woman’s Club is devoted to charitable, literary, civic and education purposes. Over the years we have helped and taken part in many community endeavors. One main goal is to raise funds to sponsor Corning Community College Scholarship Awards. Each year awards are given to graduating students of the Corning-Painted Post Area School District. Our fund-raisers include:
- a homemade cookie sale in December
- a Theater Luncheon that features local talent and a raffle for many, many donated merchant gifts
- a Silent Auction at one our meetings. Donated items include various hand-crafted quilt pieces, baked goods made by our members, books, jewelry, etc. Through our fund-raising and the generosity of our members we are able to give to:
