International Women’s Club Pittsburgh East

  International Women’s Club was founded in May 1968, with the idea for women from different countries to meet informally, to get to know each other better, and to get to know their American neighbors. A warm welcome is extended to all women in the community whether foreign or American born. Maximum participation of all members is encouraged. The members, currently hailing from 23 different countries, present the majority of the most interesting programs. A $30.00 membership fee is to be paid yearly. Members may bring guests at a charge of $5.00 each at monthly meetings; and a charge of $10.00 at our annual May Luncheon unless the guest brings a prepared dish to share. Funds will be used to run the club including providing coffee, tea, and light refreshments, rental fee for meeting place and speakers’ fees.
