Our History....
Plantation, in 1949, had few homes, no street lights, no telephones and no
newspaper deliveries. A mailbag left at the country store 'housed' the mail and served as the community post office. Broward Blvd was pastureland from what is now the Florida Turnpike to State Road 7.
Seeking companionship and community information, ten women joined together and, in February, 1949, held their first official 'meeting' where bylaws were approved, officers elected and committees appointed. In March, the name "Plantation Woman's Club" (PWC) was chosen. From that day to this, the Club has fostered friendship between women and has supported educational goals, community improvements (CIP), as well as countrywide and worldwide projects.
We invite women to join us in sharing our goals - past, present and future.

Remembering Our Club History...
50 Years of Service
"Celebrating 50 years of Service to Our Community" was the theme that guided members in the Golden Anniversary year of 1999.
By this fiftieth year our Club had donated "more than $130,000" to furnish Deicke Auditorium. An internship program was also sponsored by the Club at theGoodwin Institute for Cancer Research.
Kids in Distress, Special Olympics, Canine Companions and a host of other recipients are noted in the 1999 anniversary brochure along with our police and fire departments.
Gold colored fifty-year decals surround articles on waterway cleanup projects, scams and telemarketing, animal, child and elder abuse in the scrapbook along with the Woman of the Year "Golden Angels" gold-toned program brochure.
"Preparing the Way for the Future" set the theme for the next twenty-five years in the 1999 yearbook as we now look forward to our Diamond Anniversary year beginning in February 2024 when our Club reaches its 75th birthday.
