Community Service

  • Operation Smile

    Barbara Barnes, former Health & Wellness Chairman, assisted by Club Member Karen Beale, prepared blankets ready to be tied at the club's April meeting. The blankets will be taken to Operation Smile and given to patients following surgery. Thirty blankets were prepared.

  • Community Cleanup

    The Environment Committee facilitates the Club's participation in an Adopt-A-Highway Program and also hosts community clean-up days throughout the year.

  • Scholarships

    Recently the Windsor High School Class of 1967 held a reunion at the Windsor Community House with the Woman's Club assisting with preparation of their meal. Individuals in the class donated $700 to our club. 


    At the February club meeting we voted to present a new scholarship to a senior who will be attending a trade school, in the amount of $700. 


    This is in addition to the two scholarships we already make available to students graduating from Windsor High School who will be entering a four-year college.


    We also sponsor two girls to attend Girl's State. One from Windsor High School and one from Isle of Wight Academy, as well as one student to attend HOBY (Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership class). 

  • Community Appreciation

    The Club shows its appreciation to the wider community in a multitude of ways including donating cookies to the Tidewater Free Clinic doctors as well as making monetary and pet supply donations to local veterinarians.

  • Student Art Show

    The Arts and Culture Committee holds an annual Arts and Crafts Fair and Contest for club members and for the students at the five area schools.

  • Child Abuse Awareness Month

    Every year club members place a display in the Town of Windsor to bring awareness of Child Abuse.

  • Memorial Day Flags

    Every Memorial Day the Woman's Club participates in efforts to place flags at the Windsor Cemetary as a way to honor past veterans.

  • Town Mural

    In 2021, the Civic Engagement and Outreach Committee of The Woman’s Club of Windsor Inc. spearheaded a “Painting the Town and Preserving and Making History" project. The committee’s vision was to repaint the signs on the old brick building that is adjacent to the railroad track. 


    It is the only sign in Windsor that dates back to the early 1900’s. The first panel of the building represents Ballard and Ballard Company, the panel shows a picture of a bag of Ballard's Flour. The second panel shows R. A. Rhodes, General Merchandise. A company that existed in the early 1900’s that also served as a meeting place for the Town Council. The third panel represents Ballard's Insurance and Feed. The fourth panel has been developed into something very special for the town. We coordinated the panel with the Town’s Economic Development Authority’s Landmark Frog Project. The EDA is planning to erect frog sculptures throughout town, very similar to the pig sculptures in Smithfield. Many people don’t know, but Windsor was referred to by its earliest residents as “Frog Level” due to the many small frogs that were indigenous to the wet soil in our town. Therefore, we included a frog in our fourth panel as well as a LOVE sign. 

  • Pokestop

    One of our newest projects is implementing the use of Pokemon-Go to make everyone aware of several historical and fun locations in the area. And if you haven't seen the newest frog in town, stop by the Windsor Community and take a look at SPIRIT, provided by the Windsor Ruritan Club and the Woman's Club, with the help of Dewitt Holland, who painted the frog. The S.P.I.R.I.T frog is a Pokestop. Now people can see it on a virtual map in-game, and when the person walks close enough to it they will be able to spin the frog picture and read the history written about it. 

  • Boston Butts

    Boston Butts is the Club's largest fundraiser of the year! Club members help to slow-smoke Boston Butts over a 12 hours period and prepare homemade coleslaw and baked beans for the community to purchase.

  • Christmas Craft Fair

    Every December the club hosts its annual Christmas Craft fair where local vendors can come to sell their goods to the local community. Club members also host a bake sale and put together raffle baskets. Funds from the fair are used for various community service projects including scholarships, donations for town events, and more.
