Programs & Luncheons
Peggy Gachet, Chair & Frances Wood Co-Chair
MCWA's monthly luncheons are the heart of our organization, bringing members together for friendship, learning, and community engagement.
Throughout the season, members enjoy a variety of programs featuring guest speakers, educational presentations, local experts, entertainment, and topics of interest to women in our community. Our programs are designed to inform, inspire, and provide opportunities to connect with fellow members.
Luncheons are typically held on the second Wednesday of each month from October through May, with casual summer gatherings held during June, July, and August.
Whether you are a long-time member or attending for the first time, our luncheons are a wonderful opportunity to meet new friends, stay connected, and enjoy being part of the MCWA community.
