The fair's success is credited by the hard work of our club members who have been representing the Year of the Woman since late 1800's. Our club consists of ladies in their 70s, 80s and 90s), who put in a great deal of time, energy and effort before and during the fair.
The United Woman's Club of Concord is steeped in the rich Concord history. It came to exist when wives of the Concord Reformatory administrators decided to do something for the community and their dream of raising funds for scholarships was born. The club founders and members are amazing, intelligent and ahead of their time ladies, role models who set an example of selflessness for future generations. We proudly carry on their mission.
Our philanthropic focus continues to be raising funds for scholarships. In May 2018 we awarded three $3,000 scholarships to Concord-Carlisle High School students.
We are your neighbors! Our supporters/customers have become our friends. Every year is always such a great reunion because our members taught in the Concord schools, worked at Emerson Hospital, Town offices, owned local stores, and served on many of the non-profit Boards in town and in surrounding towns.
