"Life bought me to Evanston and the Chicago area in the spring of 2002. I joined the Woman's Club hoping to meet women friends and it has not disappointed.
The Woman's Club is full of warm, wonderful, supportive women. This past Spring I took a chance and joined the cast of the Benefit Show. Again, an experience
that more than fulfilled expectations. What better way to spend those long winter months than dancing and singing for a great cause."
– Marge Gambow
"Through the Woman's Club of Evanston I have enjoyed meeting women from all over the North Shore community. Some of the women have moved away and
yet a decade later the friendships remain."
– Jane DeMoss, WCE President 2005-2006
"I joined because of the Benefit Show. I stay because of the incredible women involved in the club. I continue to be more impressed each year by their commitment
to the community and the support they have for each other. I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of kindness and support during my chemo therapy, and have
made life long friendships because of the club."
– Nancy Goldman
"I joined the WCE in 1997 when my first son was born and I found myself at home all day after being in the workforce fulltime. I knew I needed to do something
else as well as being a mom and a housewife. I joined the Philanthropy Committee and was able to step right into a leadership role as chair of a major event. It let me use
my brain, make friends and get out of the house all at the same time. No matter how much time you have to give, there is always something at the WCE that you
can do and from which you will reap many rewards."
– Bev Kruger
"When I moved to Evanston and had my first baby I was feeling a little nervous about so many new experiences. With the Woman's Club I was able to really jump
in and get to know the people and the community of Evanston at the same time."
– Gabrielle Brooks
"I joined the Woman's Club when I moved to Evanston. The WCE was a way to make Evanston smaller, more accessible. Now, nearly 10 years later, I stay in the
Club to keep my circle of friends and community involvement expanding."
– Tamara McKnight
I joined the WCE to make new friends, but more importantly, I wanted to give something back to the community I love. The Club offers me opportunities to share my
talents and network with the best group of women on the North Shore. I'm a native Evanstonian and have always wanted to belong to the Club!"
– Jan Roy
"With the WCE you can pick out volunteer opportunities throughout the year without committing to something every week or every month. It would be hard, for
example, to do the soup kitchen on a regular basis, as weekends are the only time my husband is home. Yet with the WCE I can sign up for a variety of worthwhile
causes, fit the times to my schedule and still contribute!"
– Melody Farley
"When I joined the Woman's Club nine years ago, I could not possibly have imagined the wonderful friendships I would make and keep within this group of
extraordinarily interesting, talented, generous and involved women. There's never a dull moment at the WCE, whether your interests lie with community service,
fundraising, programs, social events or just hanging out... there's always something to do, and a friend to be made."
– Julie Chernoff
"There is no limit to what women can accomplish when they work together. The Woman's Club of Evanston has a 100 plus year history of being a positive force for
change in our community. I am proud to be part of that continuing legacy."
– Trimmy Stamell, WCE President, 2003-2004
"These 10 years in the WCE have given me much more than I came seeking. I found so many venues through which I could engage my four young children in the
world of volunteerism and helping others. We have become a family of regulars at the Soup Kitchen and Deacon's Closet and delivering meals to the homebound."
– Wendy Irwin, WCE President, 2004-2005
