    Woman's Club of Lauderdale by the Sea

    Woman's Club of Lauderdale by the Sea

    Many women's clubs were established throughout Florida as a way to give back to their communities…read more They offered women opportunities to step beyond the home, assert their independence, and become more involved in civic and political life while helping lay the groundwork for the broader women's rights movement. The Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Women's Club was founded in 1949, during the early years of the town's incorporation, with a mission to foster social activities and community improvements for Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The first clubhouse was located at the Civic Center at A1A and Bougainvilla Drive. The club's inaugural event was a Halloween party featuring a four-piece band playing music for square dancing, with hot dogs, rolls, apples, and spiked cider served for just 50 cents. When the Women's Club later moved out, the building was turned over to the Chamber of Commerce, which still works out of it today. In 1956, the club built a new location along the Intracoastal Waterway. According to local legend, pirate treasure was once buried on the site although it has never been found. I recently had the opportunity to visit the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Women's Club during one of their garage sales. Photographs and historical documents line the walls, offering a glimpse into the club's past. They were selling clothing, accessories, and home goods to raise funds. The women were warm and welcoming, and I even picked up a lovely vintage German trinket dish which they discounted for me.

Like many women's clubs in Florida, the Hollywood Women's Club was founded in 1922 during the Florida Land Boom years. In the 1920's women's clubs were formed to give back to the community. They became a way for women to get out of the house and assert their independence. They allowed women to get involved in politics and launched the women's rights movement. The Hollywood Women's Club predated the founding of the city and in 1924 they joined the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The first club members were the wives of officers in the J.W. Young Organization which was the development company building Hollywood. They met in the first clubhouse that was built on land donated by the founder of Hollywood, Joseph W. Young in 1927. Early club projects included donating hundreds of books to the first public library, holding tag sales to pay for health screenings for children, giving migrating farmers assistance with housing and welfare, getting the Miami Telephone Co. to bring the first telephone line to town, and collecting $12,000 during a war bonds drive. Today the club supports literacy programs, funds a youth scholarship, participates in the Hollywood Historical Society, supports the neighborhood crime watch, and provides financial aid to many state charities through the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The original plans for the clubhouse included an ornate Mediterranean Revival style. After the collapse of the land boom due to the Great Depression and several hurricanes the design was scaled back to a more affordable $25,000 Classical Revival style building in 1927. The building was listed as a a local historical landmark in 1985, and added to the National Register of Historic Place in 1995. Between 2012 and 2014 money was raised by the club and added to a grant to prevent the clubhouse from sinking into the sand. Other cosmetic work was also completed on this charming historical building. In 2022 the Hollywood Women's Club celebrated their 100th anniversary. During this time further electrical improvements and upgrades to the kitchen were made. Today the clubhouse is available to be rented for private events. The 1,200 square foot main event room has hardwood floors and a grand piano and can accommodate 60 people. There is also a catering kitchen. Information on how to rent the clubhouse and join and volunteer with this important civic organization can be found on the club website. If there are any upcoming events you can find that information as well. For instance they hold 2 round bingo nights for $10. The next bingo night is May 30th and they serve inexpensive drinks including alcohol and snacks. For over 100 years the women of Hollywood have been coming together to improve their local community as well as the state of Florida. Women's clubs have a legacy of helping their communities and it's nice to see that this one is still going strong today.

From the initial inquiry call 6 weeks out to the event day the staff was immediately responsive, informative, kind and knowledgeable. The restored Women's Club is run by a staff of loving, dedicated volunteers. Every question that I had as our plans developed were addressed with amazing speed. The venue has been beautifully restored and we were honored to have our celebration here. Would not hesitate to recommend the Hollywood Women's Club venue. Thank you to the team that made this venue beautiful and available to us.
