    Thank you for your interest in the Wilton Woman's Club.

    As you may know, we are a voluntary association of women of diverse ages, backgrounds and talents including businesswomen, at-home mothers, retirees and volunteers. Our membership consists of over 100 members and is committed to community service and leadership. Our fundraising supports the arts, public affairs, health care, education and the environment. Our active members meet monthly for lunch or brunch meetings from September through May. Professional members meet in the evening at various locations.

    Our membership requirements are designed to allow each member maximum flexibility. All members must attend at least three monthly meetings, serve as one of a group of hostesses of one monthly meeting every 18 months, pay annual dues of $30.00 and serve on at least one committee per year. The enclosed Member Committee Selection Form outlines the various committees. The committees have varying time commitments.  The choice is yours! If you have any questions about a particular committee, please feel free to contact me at 761-0848.

    In addition, the Club offers a variety of social groups such as a book group, an investment group and a gourmet-dining group. A monthly newsletter, The Apropos, keeps you abreast of all club activities.

    We hope you will consider joining us.

    Sincerely,


    Nancy Dalldorf and Annette Sciarretta
