Once a year the Woman’s Club of St. Matthews host an Open House so that any member of the community can visit to see what the woman’s club is all about and possibly inquire about membership, although, new members are welcome at any time throughout the year.
Displays are provided so that members can welcome visitors with a walking tour of a year in the life of WCSM membership.
