If you’ve thought about any of these, keep reading.

The Haddon Fortnightly, a civic and social organization for women, will host an Open House on Thursday, March 6, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. at The Haddon Fortnightly Clubhouse. Interested women are invited to attend, enjoy light refreshments with us, meet some of the members of The Haddon Fortnightly, and learn about the civic and charitable work and other activities that our members have been pursuing for 130 years!

In addition, visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy a tour of the beautiful, historic building where the club holds its meetings and hosts various events and functions, and also makes available to the public for rentals.

We’d love to take you on a tour and show you all we have to offer, from our caterer friendly kitchen, to two floors of open space to make your own… welcoming your guests, hosting your ceremony, and dining and dancing your special night away!

2024 WAS A SPECIAL YEAR!

As we celebrate the 130th Anniversary of our founding in 1894 this year, the women of The Haddon Fortnightly want to thank all of those who helped us to make the year special.

Whether you attended an event, supported a fundraiser, rented our clubhouse, sent a donation, benefitted from a program, or however you participated in the activities of our anniversary year, we thank you!

But one more thing…

We want you to know that we are more committed than ever to you … our community … and all of the ways we can serve you.

This year, we faced the difficult decision as to whether we could keep our beautiful clubhouse, and maintain it as the iconic community landmark it has been. We talked to you, and your enthusiastic support of of our club, the work we do, and your love of The Fortnightly building made us realize that we could not let you down!

So we ask for your continuing support as we follow through on the commitments made by our founders, Ms. Bancroft and Mrs. Willits, to be a place where women, young and old, can pursue social service, satisfy intellectual curiosity, and become pillars of their community.

As you consider year end donations, we hope you will push the new “Donate” button on our website, https://thehaddonfortnightly.org, helping us to ensure that our building, and the work done in it, can continue for future generations.

AS 2024 DRAWS TO A CLOSE…

We would like to thank all who have supported The Haddon Fortnightly throughout the year as we have served the community in a multitude of ways.

Did you know we actively support children and teens? If you took part in our Snowflake Run, then you joined us in supporting the prevention of teen su***de. If you played bingo with us, you helped us to provide scholarships for high school students, and send teen girls to Girls Career Institute. And if you attended the Through A Woman’s Eyes Art Show, you supported our work mentoring other teen girls, helping them to become leaders and change-makers as they, in turn, raised funds for needy girls globally.

Or maybe having our beautiful clubhouse, a national historic landmark, maintained as both a unique structure and a special place for cultural, social, and business events in the community is important to you. If you value the restoration and maintenance of historic structures, we thank you for supporting fundraisers like our Gift Card Raffle, Comedy Night, and Evening With Young Elvis, which enabled us to do important structural and cosmetic work on our iconic building. Every time you rent our building for a wedding, birthday, business meeting, or other event, you are helping us to fund its maintenance.

As our 130th Anniversary Year draws to a close, and as the end of your tax year approaches, we hope you will consider going to our website https://thehaddonfortnightly.org, and hit that new “Donate” button to make a tax-deductible contribution that will enable us to continue to work on behalf of the community and beyond for years to come.
