A Message from the President

Welcome to the 2025-2026 year of the Chapin Woman’s Club (CWC). I am honored to serve in my second year as your President. Together we can build on our goals and accomplishments of last year to reach new heights in the coming year!

​

We accomplished our goal of exponential membership growth with 17 new members last year. This is a 41% increase in membership. Certainly, we want to have this growth continue, but we must engage all our new members! I challenge each of you to reach out to five new members during the year and really get to know them. Ask a new member to join you on a CWC project, for a lunch date or just sit with someone new at a membership meeting. The personal touch makes all the difference in creating a strong, cohesive club! If you are a new member, don’t be shy! Step up and sign up! Membership in our club has very few requirements. We hope each member, new and old, shares our club’s commitment on an individual level to be of service to our community through the gifts of time and treasure.

​

Strong membership gives us the opportunity to serve the Chapin community in many ways. Our efforts to focus our activities are truly a challenge. There are so many needs and opportunities with so many passionate members for each! With every member dedicated to at least one activity, we can truly accomplish all we desire. But it takes every member’s contribution to be successful. Have you found your passion in our club? I can bet we have one for you! As we begin a new year, please pause and reflect on your personal commitment and how you can participate in our club to fulfill your passion.

​

CWC is blessed with a strong group of members who serve in leadership positions. Your Executive Board is listening to the membership. Thank you for your response to the requests for input. Keep the ideas, opinions and advice coming! In January 2026, CWC will begin the process of identifying a new Board for 2026-2028. Please consider stepping forward to lead this amazing club! I assure you that the rewards of serving will give you joy!
 

Living the Volunteer Spirit,

Patty
