The Fort Atkinson Woman’s Club will kick off its 2021-22 season with a meeting Tuesday, Sept. 14, at the Hoard Historical Museum.

The 1:15 p.m. program will be presented by a representative of Hoo’s Woods Raptor Center, featuring live eagles and owls. 

The club meets nine times from September through May on the second Tuesday of the month at 1:15. Each meeting features an informative and entertaining presentation with a light tea following.

For October, the club has planned a fieldtrip to the Heritage Military Music Foundation in Watertown for Civil War music, a museum tour and a fashion show. 

Slated for March is a presentation by Fort Atkinson photographer Spencer Jelineck, while April’s program will include a demonstration by internationally known floral designer and fused glass artist Kevin Ylvisaker.

Regular meetings are scheduled for November through May at the Dwight Foster Public Library. Annual membership is $30.

All women are welcome to join the club as it looks forward to another year of service, companionship, interesting programs and activities. 

The Fort Atkinson Woman’s Club is a charitable organization that has been serving the Fort Atkinson area for more than 70 years. Its aim and objectives are to promote education and community welfare. 

Each year, through membership dues and fundraisers, the club sponsors community improvement projects that have included donations to the Homeless Coalition of Fort Atkinson and the Boys and Girls Club of Fort Atkinson. It also awards a yearly $1,000 educational scholarship to a local returning adult college student.
