The Womans Club of Louisville

History







Founded March 1890 by Mrs. B. F. Avery



The Woman's Club of Louisville was organized with
the continuing purpose of promoting and supporting
civic improvements,
championing the educational
and philanthropic needs of the community -especially
where women and children are concerned- and
cultivating the fine arts.

Throughout the years, whether in times of regional
disaster or national crisis, the members have
responded with service and resources.

In 1948 the Woman's Club of Louisville co-founded
the Louisville Deaf-Oral School, a pre-school
providing early intervention for hearing
impaired infants and toddlers. Today it remains
the primary recipient of fund-raising and interest
by the membership.

Through the Charity Fund, established in 1967, many
other local charities have also benefitted.

As we enter into a new millennium, we will contnue
to be focused on the spirit of service.
