Our 69th Year!Welcome to the Sterling Women’s ClubThe Sterling Women's Club belongs to GFWC (General Federation of Women's Clubs) one of the world largest and oldest women's volunteer service organizations, dedicated to community improvement through volunteer service. PurposeThe Sterling Women’s Club is open to all women of Sterling and adjoining towns. The purpose of this non-sectarian, non-partisan club is to maintain an active, aggressive interest in all things that pertain to the moral, social and civic welfare of our town. MeetingsRegular meetings of the club are held on the second Thursday of each month during the period from September through May. Regular attendance at all club meetings and support of functions is a service to the club. Members are encouraged to bring guests who are potential members. The Corresponding Secretary and President appreciate being told of an illness or sorrow of a club member. Club CollectKeep us, O God, from pettiness; let us be large in thought, in work, in deed. Let us be done with fault-finding and leave off self-seeking. May we put away all pretenses and meet each other face-to-face without self-pity and without prejudice. May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous. Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straight forward and unafraid. Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm, serene, and gentle. Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences; that in the big things in life - we are as one. And may we strive to touch and to know the great common-woman’s heart of us all, and, O Lord God, let us not forget to be kind. Contact Information |
