​Our History

 

Serving to Make a Difference

​

The Bonita-Estero Woman’s Club (BEWC) was founded in October 2021 by six dedicated women who recognized an opportunity to make a greater difference in the neighboring communities of southern Lee County.

Five of the founders were past presidents of the Naples Woman’s Club, and one was a former vice president. Together, they envisioned a new Woman’s Club focused on community service, philanthropy, education, and volunteerism.​

​

Part of Something Bigger

​

BEWC is proud to be affiliated with the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) and the Florida Federation of Women’s Clubs.  Founded in 1890, GFWC is one of the world's largest and longest-standing volunteer service organizations. GFWC brings together women who share a commitment to improving their communities through volunteer service.  GFWC clubs support communities through a broad range of programs, including arts and culture, conservation, education, civic engagement, health and wellness, and international outreach.

​

Our Shared Commitment

Being part of GFWC connects BEWC with women across the country and around the world who believe that together, we can create meaningful and lasting change.  

​

Our history is still being written—and every member, volunteer, donor, and community partner is part of that story.

Today, our members continue to expand the Club's reach through volunteer service, fundraising, educational opportunities, and meaningful partnerships with organizations throughout our community.
