PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Welcome to the Saturday Club! In 1886, a small group of intrepid and forward-thinking women came together to form an organization whose purpose was to serve their community and each other. Today that is still the mission of The Saturday Club. We are a group of diverse women--single, married, homemakers, professionals, parents, entrepreneurs. We are women from all walks of life who come together to enrich our community through our volunteer efforts, provide financial support to deserving organizations and form lasting friendships.

Over the long history of The Saturday Club, we have provided countless hours volunteering with organizations that serve families and children. Our historic clubhouse has served as the area's first kindergarten and an emergency hospital during the 1918 influenza outbreak and again during World War II. It continues to be a vital part of our community today. We have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to local hospitals, libraries, college scholarships, and dozens of organizations serving children and families in the greater Philadelphia area. Our fundraising efforts enable us to continue this long tradition of philanthropy. Through our American Girl Fashion Show, the sale of our cookbooks, including our newest volume Main Line Entertains, and the rental of our beautiful, historic clubhouse, we are able to contribute more than our founders would ever have imagined.

I encourage you to explore our website and learn more about who we are. Being a member of The Saturday Club has been a uniquely rewarding experience, both in terms of the wonderful friends I've made and what, as part of a whole, I am able to contribute to my community.

Jane Frantz
President
