What is the CV Women's Club and What is it Doing?

History

The Castro Valley Women’s Club was founded in 1948 by Barbara Russell and Helen Fowler with the purpose of investing in our community while growing friendships.

We hold monthly meetings & social activities with the goal of having fun, building friendships and identifying ways to contribute to our community.  In the past 69 years, the Castro Valley Women’s Club has made contributions to a variety of programs and projects that directly benefit our community. 

For 69 years our club has continuously  sponsored a yearly scholarship program for college bound C.V. High School seniors.  Additionally the club has made donations and provided support to a number of local organizations.
