Club Objectives

The purpose of the Woman's Club is to unite women for self-improvement and for the promotion of their common interests in the social, educational, civic, and cultural levels. Membership in a local club opens new vistas to its members, broadening their opportunities for service and civic action within the community.

The Woman's Club of Laurel is an affiliated member of the Maryland Federation of Women and the General Federation of Women's Clubs with International Headquarters at 1734-38 N St., N.W., Washington, DC.

"Membership in General Federation brings a better knowledge of national and international affairs; the strength to influence legislation and governmental activity; the ability to speak with one voice on important questions, as well as have a better understanding of different areas of the country and the world, through friendship with women of these areas."
