History of MWC
Dee Irick and Pat Miller held an organizational meeting in November, 1997, with the purpose of organizing a club for women of all ages, all interests, and all walks of life to combine their potential and quest for learning. In January, 1998, about 50 women attended the first meeting and by April, 1998, charter membership totaled 111.
To this date, Mansfield Women’s Club has given over $270,000 back to our community through various fundraisers. Methodist Mansfield Medical Center has received $106,000 for their neonatal intensive care unit and for their new cardiac care wing. Other recipients include: All Star Equestrian, Meals on Wheels, Common Ground Network, Wesley Mission Center, Girls, Inc., Safe Haven Shelter, Cancer Cares, St Jude’s Food Pantry, American Cancer Society, The Parenting Center, Alliance for Children, Main Street Theater, Mansfield Library, MAC Center, Mansfield Nursing Home, MISD Clothes Closet, and Mansfield Cares. We support the Mansfield Independent School District with four scholarships to each of their high schools as a way to honor our past presidents. This past year we awarded $6,000 to four deserving students.
