December 20, 2024: We have fun at the Club! Friday, it was the annual Holiday Happy Hour and Potluck. After dinner, for which members had brought quite tasty dishes, we played a game of Yankee Trader. As in the past, the nice bottles of wine were highly desired. Have a look. We hope to see you next year!

At the Woman’s Club of Chevy Chase, we have fun, even as we contribute positively to our community. Here we are, wrapping gifts that our club members had donated to the Community Bridges community project, Angel Tree. Many families in the county will have a happier holiday because of the combined efforts of organizations like ours. We were happy to be part of Angel Tree!

December 15, 2024: The elves were busy at Santa’s Workshop, an annual fundraiser for The Woman’s Club of Chevy Chase in support of its community programs and scholarships. Visitors to Santa’s worksop flowed in as the afternoon progressed. The kids enjoyed visiting with Santa and Mrs. Claus and having their photos taken with Santa, as well as throughout the Worksop as they completed their art projects or viewed the model train exhibition. We hope to see you there next year!

It’s almost time to come to The Woman’s Club of Chevy Chase for you and the young children in your orbit to plan your visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus! Santa’s Workshop will be open on Saturday, December 14, and Sunday, December 15, from 10-1 and 2-5, each day. There will be opportunities for taking a photo with the “jolly old elf,” as well as enjoying the toy train exhibition. And, yes, there will be donuts and pizza!

WCCC was in the house at the GFWC Holiday Open House! We had fun talking with each other, as well as with other members of other women’s clubs from around the country. The food offerings were varied and plentiful! The chocolate chip meringues were to die for, but the chicken salad in puff pastry cups was pretty good too! ‘Hope that more members of WCCC can join in the festivities next year. Have a look!

Thanks to WCCC’s Program Chair, Marion Klein, for bringing such a lively and informative speaker to our November General Membership meeting on November 20, 2024! Steve Livengood, Chief Guide of the U.S. Capitol Historical Society, fully engaged us with his presentation, “The US Capitol: A Historian’s Guide to the Temple of Democracy.” Here are a few more photographs from the event, previously chronicled in an earlier posting by our partner FB guru, Mary Bahrs.

On November 20, 2024, members listened to Steve Livengood, head tour guide at the U.S.Capitol, talk about the history of the Capitol accompanied by wonderful slides depicting the progress in its construction. The highlight was learning about the Freedom statue atop the dome. Steve generously presented us with a book, “We The People."
