Welcome
The McKnight Women's Club organizes community activities, sponsors summer recreational programs for our children, and works with the McKnight Village Civic Association in neighborhood improvements. The objective of this organization is to promote social and philanthropic work in the community.
The club is separate from, and often confused with the McKnight Village Civic Association and the McKnight United Methodist Church. The Women's Club has its own board, meetings, and objectives.
Please note that although we occasionally meet at a United Methodist Church, the McKnight Women's Club is not associated with any particular church. We do however consider ourselves a non-denominational Christian womens group, and we begin each meeting with a prayer. We are over 140 women who work together to help improve the local community and together we are a force greater than our individual parts.
Celebrating 70 YEARS with a new logo!

Opportunities to get involved
ALL OF OUR COMMITTEES ARE NOW WELCOMING NEW VOLUNTEERS. It's a wonderful way to connect with members of our community. To ensure that no one person feels stressed about missing a meeting, or overwhelmed by the responsibility of leading a committee, the MWC is trying to make sure every role is dual-filled to share the responsibility.
The below positions (already filled by the experienced veteran volunteers listed) are in need of someone to help share the responsibility, or be the backup. This is a great way to get involved without worring that it will take too much time or be too hard!
VICE PRESIDENT: Sue Richey
The VP makes sure the meetings run smoothly. They make sure the club has necessary supplies on hand.
RECORDING SECRETARY: Peg Gardner
The Recording Secretary takes notes at the Board Meetings and General Meetings and types them up after the meeting.
STREET CAPTAINS / evites: Gulzat Dalton
This is an important communication role, activities done on your own time: creating the eVite for each meeting, distributing the newsletters to the Street Captains.
BABY GIFTS: Sallee Carr
The MWC delivers a small gift to each new baby in the area. Keeping up on these babies and dropping off the gift is a good job for someone who cannot always make it to the meetings but wants to be involved.
VILLAGE LIGHT UP NIGHT: Beth Seiler
Planning and organizing this open, free, outdoor event in early December.
The other positions and committees can all be seen here. Please reach out toPresident Beth Seiler directly, or email MWC_Admin@comcast.net if you can help out!
