Web Master, and Past President.
What:
The Eagle Point Women’s Club was founded in May 2005. The
Club was formed like so many successful ventures, over a cup of
coffee. Yes, just 4 years ago a few women gathered over coffee at
Arthur’s, the golf course restaurant, and realized that other
women like themselves were new here, lonely, and wanted to make
new friends. So, they all decided to bring a new friend with them
next time they came for coffee. That is how it started.
Sally Plummer, our first President, inspired the idea of a women’s
club with a format similar to a club she belonged to in another
state. She passed her ideas along to her new friends and here we
are, grown from a handful of women to a membership of about 150
in these four short years.
What do we do? Started simply as a social club, we formed activity
groups based on common interests. Even though many members are volunteers
in worthwhile community causes such as SMART, Access, Aspire, at
churches, hospitals, etc., EPWC felt the need to bring that activity
to the club as well. We now have a formalized Volunteer Group, giving
members the opportunity to further reach out to the Eagle Point
Community.
Our members are varied in age and experience. Each one brings something
special to the group, whether it be a talent, information, or just
a smile!
Where:
Luncheons are held at the Rogue Valley Country Club. Luncheons include
the business meeting, a speaker, and lunch. Activity groups meet
either at member’s homes or at designated outing spots. All
activities, including the luncheons, are optional. Members may become
involved as much or as little as they like.
When:
Luncheons are bi-monthly. Activity groups meet as needed
by the group. All scheduled activities are listed on the calendar
and under each group’s web page.
Why:
There has been a huge influx of families moving to Eagle Point in the
last 2-3 years. There was no way for those women to meet each other, or
easily become involved and feel a real part of their community. The club
has accomplished that need with stunning success.
