Since 1906, the traditions and ideals set by the Oviedo Woman's Club have held true: a service club united to better the community and help others in need.

Although our club is active in fund-raising efforts, we also offer many special interest activities, such as an arts and crafts group, book club, out to lunch group and walking group. Our monthly meetings offer programs of information and entertainment. As members of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs and the Florida Federation of Woman's Clubs, our club follows the same standards and commitment of service set by those organizations.

Friendships formed from belonging to the Oviedo Woman's Club are lifelong.

As a member of the Oviedo Woman's Club you can gain personal fulfillment along with meeting many others in the community.

Club History

One spring day in 1906, seven ladies met to form the Oviedo Magazine Club. Their purpose was to disperse good reading materials, and improve their community. Meeting in their homes, they exchanged magazines, held a program and a social hour. Many projects evolved. They hired help to pen up the loose pigs, lay board and clay sidewalks, plant trees, and clean up the cemetery.

In 1914, the first clubhouse was built, which also served as the town's first library. In 1916, they joined the Florida Federation of Woman's Clubs, and changed their name to The Oviedo Woman's Club.

They joined the General Federation of Woman's Clubs in 1923. While membership was increasing, the clubhouse was no longer adequate, and it was sold. The present clubhouse was built in 1961 on property donated by former member Mrs. R.L. Croom.

In the ensuing years the ladies were instrumental in accomplishing many goals within the community. They continue to sponsor many civic projects, including the annual Tasting Luncheon and Great Day in the Country.
