Sylmar Woman’s Club History

As we start our 2010 - 2011 year, we will be celebrating 70 years of service to the Sylmar Community!

Looking back, we must reflect on our humble beginnings.  What started as a sewing circle with eight members with a goal to meet and become acquainted with their neighbors, to know the community better and to foster a spirit of friendliness, neighborliness and helpfulness has grown to our present-day Sylmar Woman's Club with approximately 80 members.  Each one of the women present at that first meeting pledged to bring at least one new member to the next meeting and the membership was tripled the first year.  This is still a good pledge for us to consider.The symbol then, as now, was a true circle, no breaks, no points and no corners. 

As we look to the future, we will continue to help the students of Sylmar High School and LA Mission College reach their goals of a better life through higher education.  We have given thousands of dollars to these worthy students and will continue this endeavor for many years to come. 

The objectives of the  Sylmar Woman’s Club:

• A social communion of its members.

• Discussion of subjects of common interest which would serve as intellectual uplift but in no way conflict with personal views.

• No gossiping and no hard feelings shall enter its bounds, but all things be taken in good faith as coming from the circle.
