Many friendships have been started and strengthened here at the WCW! Let’s follow the yellow brick road together (and wear our ruby slippers!) as we welcome prospective members and show the strong friendships and support the WCW can offer. Why not share the WCW with someone you know? Perhaps she is a neighbor or a friend from one of your other social groups. We can’t think of a better way to warm a chilly February day than Breakfast at the Woman’s Club! See the Sunday Spotlight for more details!

Join us as Dr. Cheryl Frazes Hill, author and director of the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus, introduces us to the extraordinary Margaret Hillis. In Margaret Hillis: Unsung Pioneer, author Cheryl Frazes Hill—a longtime colleague and associate—examines how Hillis was able to overcome the many challenges she faced, navigating a career in ways relatable not only to musicians but also to women in all professions. Margaret Hillis blazed a trail upon which many continue to tread. She was the first woman to regularly conduct a major symphony orchestra and she was the founder of the Chicago Symphony Chorus. She served for thirty-seven years as its first director, winning nine Grammy Awards. See the Sunday Spotlight for more details and RSVP today!

Packets of holiday card-making supplies were lovingly assembled at WCW by our Community Outreach Committee. Thank you to all of the members who donated supplies!

Once assembled, a few members of the committee delivered these supplies and lead over 60 women inmates in a holiday card-making event at the Milwaukee Women’s Correctional Center. They made the beautiful hand-made cards for their friends and families. The committee members were warmly thanked and received help with clean-up. They left knowing that something very special had happened and that a little art helped to heal some hearts.
