Alachua Woman's Club Event Venue

06/01/2026

The GFWC Alachua Woman’s Club is proud of all the recent Santa Fe High school graduates, and we are especially proud to recognize our 2026 scholarship recipient, Mackenzie! 🎓✨

Mackenzie was awarded the GFWC Alachua Woman’s Club Scholarship to help support her journey to college. In addition to our scholarship, she has also earned several other scholarships through her hard work and dedication. She plans to pursue a career as an occupational therapist, and we know she has a bright future ahead of her.

We had the honor of presenting her scholarship award during the Education Foundation Awards Night and celebrating this exciting milestone with her and her family. Fun fact she remembered Joan our scholarship chairman from her days at Irby Elementary.

This scholarship would not be possible without the support of our amazing members, sponsors, and community. A special thank you to Tiffany Sanders of Solara, last years Charity Ball of St.Nicholas Chief Elf Officer sponsor, whose generosity helped make this scholarship possible.

We are truly grateful to everyone who continues to support our mission and help us make a difference in the lives of young women in our community. 💙

We are so excited to announce that GFWC Alachua Woman’s Club returned home from the GFWC Florida Convention with several awards! 🏆💙

This is the FIRST time our club has won awards since joining GFWC, and we could not be prouder of our members and all the hard work they have put into serving our community.

🥉 3rd Place – Arts & Culture for our participation in the Fall Festival and combining multiple projects into one community event.

🥈 2nd Place – Environment for our Fire Awareness Event.

🥇 1st Place – Education & Libraries for Trick or Treat on Main! The judges loved how we combined multiple CSPs while giving back to so many children and families in our community.

Great job, ladies! This is such a huge accomplishment, and every member should be proud of the difference we are making together. Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, planned, decorated, and supported these projects. This recognition belongs to all of us! 💙✨

✨ What an exciting and fun-filled night at Relay for Life! ✨

Our team is proud to share that we raised $1,149, exceeding our goal of $1,000! 💜

We had a great time connecting with the community—selling fresh fruit bowls and delicious oatmeal peanut butter cookies at our booth. We also honored Emilie Matthews with a special sign since she wasn’t able to walk this year—she was absolutely with us in spirit.

It was wonderful sharing information about our women’s club, and we loved seeing so many smiling faces throughout the evening.

And of course, we can’t forget our honorary pet member, Diesel 🐾—who definitely could have raised even more if we had sold kisses!

Thank you to everyone who supported us. We can’t wait to see what next year holds! 💜

Happy Employee Appreciation Day! 🎉

Today we would like to recognize two wonderful people who help keep our clubhouse running smoothly.

Paige, our Clubhouse Manager, handles everything from phone calls and showings to contracts and even cleaning the clubhouse. She manages it all with a smile, and we truly appreciate the hard work and dedication she gives to our club.

We also want to thank our handyman, Ray who works hard behind the scenes to keep our building maintained. Ray has a big heart for the history of our clubhouse and takes great pride in helping care for it.

Thank you both for everything you do for the GFWC Alachua Woman’s Club! 💙👏
