Organized on March 1, 1897, the Naperville Woman’s Club has been a steady presence in Naperville for 125 years. It was originally established as a literary club by nineteen women who desired knowledge, connections, and a function outside their homes and churches in this once small farm community. Philanthropic projects were quickly added on, and these have become the backbone of the club over the years. In 1903, the literary club became the Naperville Woman’s Club (NWC), and throughout its history, NWC has been dedicated to improving the community and the lives of others through its volunteer service.
