About Us
The Arcadia Woman's Club is a historic and valued asset of the community, dating
back to 1914. The Club's beautiful Clubhouse, designated as City of Arcadia
Historic Landmark No. 1 in 2022, is conveniently located in the heart of Arcadia
and surrounded by lush greenery. The Club's Spanish mission-style architecture
recalls Arcadia's earliest roots and offers spacious accommodations for various celebrations and events throughout the year.
Apart from being an event space, the Woman's Club of Arcadia provides a platform for women to meet, form friendships, and work on projects designed to benefit the community. Members are justifiably proud of the work they have done in the past, including fundraising for disaster relief, tree-planting, creating campaigns to end illiteracy, and collecting food and clothing for those in need.
The Arcadia Woman's Club is part of two larger organizations, the California Federation of Women's Clubs and the General Federation of Women's Clubs and works with them to improve communities around the world through volunteer service. The Club is an organization that believes in and supports the efforts of women to make the world a better place through service, self-empowerment, and education, making it a fantastic organization to join.

Joyce Platt – our new President 2025-2026.
You are invited to join us at our monthly meetings at our City of Arcadia Historic Landmark No.1 Clubhouse on the first Wednesday of each month from September through June. Our meetings have lunch, a program of interest to the group, knowledgeable speakers, or a special community activity.
My theme for the year 2025 - 2026 is "Let's Hit A Grand Slam For Community Service." As can be seen by my theme, community service is a main focus for our group this year. The wonderful feeling of appreciation that is expressed by the groups and individuals we help and support reminds us that community service is what we are all about. The positive response of the community makes what we do important.
Come join our team and step up to the plate to help us hit a grand slam for community service as well as all the special events we have planned. Become a member of a "special" group of women. We'd enjoy having you join the team.
The object of our club shall be intellectual, educational and civic improvement, charitable purposes and mutual help, and furtherance of the work of District, State and General Federation of Women's Clubs.
