Montclair Women’s Club has once again become a sponsor to the S.O.F.I.A. Annual Walk against Domestic Violence. S.O.F.I.A. stands for Start Out Fresh Intervention Advocates, a nonprofit that provides advocacy, supportive services and referrals for temporary housing to “at risk” women and children of domestic violence. Liz Haigney-Lynch, our club president, is also our team captain for this event.

The walk is being held on Saturday, September 19th with registration at 9 am and the walk beginning at 10 am in Canterbury Park in the south end of Montclair. Registration is $20. You can pre-register here or arrive at 9am to register in person. We encourage you to bring a friend to join this important cause! The walk and the speeches are inspiring. We hope to see you there! Can’t walk but want to support the cause? Donate here.

Nosh, share a drink, mingle, CRAFT, meet old friends and make some new ones as we kick off our 2026-27 season joyfully at the Montclair Women’s Club. This is the perfect opportunity to discover and explore more about our 111-year old club, to learn about our great plans for the upcoming year, and to peruse opportunities to help us build our community together.  MWC member Maryanne Dicker, curator for our new Maker Monday series, will also have a special craft table on hand, so join us for yummy nibbles, a glass of wine, and community spirit! This event is free for members and prospective members, so bring a friend or friends you’d like to introduce to MWC!

The Montclair Women’s Club is joining with Dumpling Diplomacy to host a book club discussion of The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together by Heather McGee, longlisted for the National Book Award. McGhee’s eye-opening book finds that racism has a cost for the perpetrators as well as the victims, echoing Frederick Douglass over a century later.  The discussion is part of a Community Read in advance of McGhee’s appearance at the library the next week as part of their Open Book / Open Mind event.

Taste buds and brain cells will be lubricated with an edible treat that embodies the dividend of solidarity.

Please select the link for MWC members.

Seven free copies of the book are available for porch pickup in Montclair. First come first served.

All are welcome.
