The club was created in 1976 after a 10 week series of programs for women was sponsored by the federal government in 1975, The International Year of the Woman. A group of approximately 20 women found the series worthwhile and decided to keep meeting. They met weekly and created for each year a monthly speaker series on various topics. They printed leaflets and advertised their Spring and Fall programs. Since 1976 they met consistently each week until the Covid-19 virus shuttered all meetings, events and cities across the globe. They held their last meeting on April 4th,2022.
