Purpose of the Women's Welcome Club
To offer those who are new to our area and also long-term residents the opportunity to actively participate in activities that promote civic, social, and humanitarian aspects of our community.
The Club, established in 1978, provides an opportunity for women to expand their circle of friends and become involved in community activities. The membership fee is minimal.
We welcome all women from the State College area and the surrounding communities to join us, make new friends, and share common interests.
Interest groups and activities
We sponsor many activities throughout the year, including General Meetings, welcoming coffees, and socials. We have many interest groups, including Day Trippers, Lunch Around Town, Book Discussion, Gardening, Scrapbooking, Bridge, and many others. A more complete list can be found in the Interest Groups section of this website. Any member may suggest or form a new interest group.
A few activities include partners/spouses, for example: Appetizers and Spirits. Our General Meetings feature a variety of programs of interest to our members. More information can be found in the General Meetings section of this website.
The Welcome Mat
The Welcome Mat is our monthly newsletter. It will keep you up to date on Club events and activities. Any prospective member may obtain a complimentary subscription (three monthly issues) by sending a note to our Membership Chair (See below.).
Morning coffees
Morning coffees are usually held on the third Tuesday of the month. This is another wonderful way to get acquainted with other residents. Please feel free to bring your children and a new neighbor, if you wish.
During September through May, the coffees are held at the Oakwood Presbyterian Church on Waddle Road in State College (no affiliation), from 10:00 to 11:30 am. Click to get a directional map. In the summer months the coffees are sometimes held at area parks.
