Our History
Nearly a Century of Community
Bringing women together through friendship, service, and community since 1935.
How It All Began
The North Andover Women's Club was founded in 1935 with a shared vision of bringing women together through friendship, community service, and civic involvement.
From its earliest days, the Club has provided women with opportunities to form meaningful connections while working together to support the North Andover community. Members have contributed their time, talents, and resources to charitable programs, local organizations, community events, and families in need.
Over the years, the North Andover Women's Club has continued to grow and evolve while remaining committed to the values on which it was founded. Through fundraising events, volunteer projects, social gatherings, educational programs, and community partnerships, generations of members have helped strengthen the Club and expand its impact.
The Club's history is reflected not only in the events it has hosted and the causes it has supported, but also in the friendships formed among its members. Each generation has helped carry forward a tradition of service, leadership, generosity, and connection.
Today, the North Andover Women's Club proudly continues that legacy. We welcome women who want to become more involved in their community, support meaningful causes, meet new people, and help shape the Club's future.
