Petaluma Woman's Club

---

To all members and website visitors,

 

All PWC events through the month of April – including our Sips & Bites Fundraiser – have officially been cancelled and postponed.

 

We are all in this together. Let’s all do our part to stay healthy.  Respect the “Shelter in Place” mandate.

 

For those that need help or want to help, Petaluma People Services Center has put together a program, see below.

  

Petaluma Woman’s Club (PWC) has an opportunity for us to be active in the community. As we celebrate the 125 Anniversary of the Petaluma Woman’s Club we can “ Move Forward, Don’t Look Back.” Let’s do what we can to help.

 

Together we can do this!

 

Warmly,

 

Sue Bunker and Carol Bracco

PWC Co-Presidents 2019-2020
