The Ft. Lauderdale Women's Club was founded on January 11, 1911 as the Woman's Civic Improvement…read moreAssociation with 18 women as the first club members. The club is 2 1/2 months older than the incorporation of the city of Ft. Lauderdale. A 135 by 100 foot lot was donated by Ft. Lauderdale pioneers Frank and Ivy Stranahan. Ivy was a school teacher and a very civic minded person. She was involved in African-American, women's and Native American's rights, as well as the first chapter of the Audubon Society and the Red Cross. The Seminole's would paddle up the New River in their canoes and trade with the Stranahan's for the good's they couldn't grow. Ivy would use use her school teacher background the educate the Seminole's when they visited. Ivy served as president of Women's Club from 1913 until 1916. The name of the group was changed to Fort Lauderdale Women's Club in 1913. They took on many of the projects needed to improve the town like adding streetlights. In 1912 the club started the first volunteer fire department with a donation of $100. The clubhouse was designed by noted architect August Geiger in a Mediterranean Revival Style. Building began in 1916 and finished in 1917, their clubhouse was the community's first library. Located at Broward and Andrews Avenue it is in the center of the City of Ft. Lauderdale that grew up around it. Today the Women's Club continues to partner with non profits in the community like Broward Outreach, Children in Distress, and the Wildlife Care Center. They also give scholarships to high school students. In order to pay for the upkeep of the house the club rents it out for community functions and weddings. The clubhouse is surrounded by beautiful gardens, In recent years the club has struggled with keeping the downtown homeless population from destroying the property. A large fence now surrounds what used to be an open park.

There are no hazards in the entrance, the ranch provides volunteers with water but we all bring our own food. Taking care of 60+ animals, as anyone can imagine, is quite expensive and this charitable organization focuses all of their funding on ensuring the animals are fed, sheltered, physically cared for including teeth cleaning, shodding, and regular medical care. All volunteers are welcome and work in whatever capacity they are comfortable with. Please come out and see for yourself. You will be so glad you did!

It is about half the size of the one I recently attended in Delray Beach but it had a lot of the same vendors. You could purchase plants, accessories, pet items, soap, art, and all kinds of handmade goods. One of my students broke my heart necklace that I purchased at the last festival but of course with my luck that vendor wasn't here. Hopefully I will run into him on the circuit again. I did end up purchasing a small sea turtle bag because I need to carry assorted treats on me at all times for the students. Another item I really liked at this festival is the handmade tortilla warmers or microwave pot holders. You can put an item in it, microwave, and easily lift it out without getting burned. The holidays are getting closer so it's time to start stocking up on gifts. This is a great place to browse if you are in the area.
