GFWC-IL Woman's Club of Kankakee Non profit organization, We are privileged to hold our regular meetings and Carry on other activities in the Civic Auditorium throughout the club year.

Wednesday is regarded as "Women's Day Club" for good reasons. In 1946, when we needed a building for use as a community house was expressed, the Women's Club approached by the Board of Commissioners of the Kankakee Park District with an offer difficult to refuse. In return for donation and efforts in soliciting of funds from the general public for the erection of such a building, the Women's Club was offered a permanent meeting place for its regular schedule meetings and functions for period of 99 years. Our first regular meeting upper Club held in the new Civic Auditorium was on October 4, 1950, and almost all club events since that date have been enjoyed in these pleasant surroundings. As a result of the many hours of work given by our loyal members in expediting the realization of the Civic Auditorium, we are now in title not only to the use of the building at our meeting place, but also certain other privileges, such as stories are piano dishes and other properties. The park board is always most cooperative with any of our undertaking, and our relationship is most pleasant one. Our club is more fortunate than most to be able to pursue his goals with more than ample facilities and under such favorable conditions.
