COMMUNITY OUTREACH As Saturday Club members, we are committed to contributing our time and energy to helping those in need and to enhancing the quality of life in our community. Community Outreach is a cornerstone of The Saturday Club’s philanthropic mission. Members find community service activities to be a very rewarding part of their Club experience. Group and individual service projects provide opportunities to lend valuable assistance, build friendships, and expand individual interests and talents.
