One hundred years! The Women’s City Club is planning a celebration beginning in January and continuing throughout 2024. The first premier event for our members is a birthday party on January 24, 2024, “Cheers to 100 Years!”, Special guest speaker, Sara Smolenski, will be joining us to entertain and reminisce.

Next there will be a special event at the Grand Rapids Public Museum during Women’s History Month on March 14, 2024. Featuring our book, “Our First One Hundred Years,” an illustrated book tracing the history of the Club written by our talented Club authors. The event will include cocktails and snacks, a reading from the book, music, and a book signing. This event is open to the public.

A tradition since the beginning is the Annual Meeting held in May. A recap of the year, honoring long-standing members, installing new Board members, food and fellowship is the focus of this event for members only.

On September 19, 2024 we roll out the red carpet at Noto’s for a glittery event with emcee Mike Smolenski as we honor the contributions of the women who came before us.

We’ll cap off the year of celebration with our Evergreen Gala in December. Good friends, great conversation, delectable food, and lively jazz will entertain us as we revel in the joy of the season and reflect on the year.

This will truly be a year to remember! Cheers to 100 years!
