“Morgan Park Woman’s Club: 135 Years of Community Service.”
Women’s history is the community’s history. They are involved in every aspect of life where they live, often working behind the scenes.
It’s time their story was told.
This year marks the 135th anniversary of the Morgan Park Woman’s Club (MPWC).
A special event is planned for this weekend: “Morgan Park Woman’s Club: 135 Years of Community Service.” A reception and program will be held on Sunday, November 17, 2024, in the Smith Village community hall, 2320 W. 113th Place, from 2 to 4 p.m. Admission is free, there is parking, and the place is accessible.
MPWC has had a very important role in the community, impacting everything from the village’s annexation to the city of Chicago to its architecture to its schools to its parks.
A slide presentation connecting the Club’s history to that of the community will be shown by Carol Flynn, researcher/writer for the Ridge Historical Society.
There will be a display of items from the Club’s artifacts. Refreshments will be served.
