What does the Sawnee Woman’s Club do?

It’s our mission to advocate for and provide funds to children, families, and charitable organizations to meet the needs of our community.

Our unique department structure (Arts, Conservation, Education, Home Life, International Affairs, Public Affairs) allows our Club to focus on multiple projects and areas of service simultaneously. Our members are required to complete 30 hours of volunteer service, as well as attend meetings and solicit donations.
