McLean Woman's Club Marks 60th Anniveersary

On Tuesday, February 6, 2018, the Woman's Club of McLean marked the 60th year of its founding, in 1958, by presenting a check for $2,000 to each of three McLean charities at its monthly meeting: Capital Caring hospice, Falls Church -- McLean Children's Center and share Inc.

Community service and support have always been the principal missions of the club. They are the basis for the club's annual Holiday Homes Tour, its main fundraiser, whose 50th anniversary was celebrated in 2016 and its 51st in 2017.

Since 1966, the club has donated well over $1,000,000 to local charities and nonprofits. This has been made possible not only by the club members but by other volunteers, participants and supporters. Current beneficiaries include Second Story, Fisher House, the Wounded Warrior Program, Capital Caring, Share Inc. the McLean Project for the Arts and the McLean Volunteer Fire Department. Scholarships and other education awards are also made by the club.
