So Audrey!  Read more information on our Fashion Show website pages. Our very own LOWC women will be modeling this year, salon style, so you can see all the gorgeous outfits up close.

Summer Concert Celebrating 40 years of LOWC

LOWC Celebrates 40 Years with Music in the Park!!!

Everyone loves music, and music is the common language amongst us all.  It frees our spirit and opens our heart. It's summertime, and the last thing we want to do is sit in a meeting, so lets all get outdoors in this beautiful Northwest summer weather to attend a summer park concert together.

Pack your picnic baskets and let's all meet outdoors so our hearts and souls can dance!!  Feet may engage as well. All are welcome:  So bring your spouse, children, or friends.

The band playing is:   "Hit Machine". It will be a blast! It will be held at Westlake Park in Lake Oswego, on August 27th at 7 pm.

CASA Golf Tournament - September 15th

CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) is having their golf tournament fundraiser. It will be held at the Oswego Lake Country Club, on Monday, September 15th. If you can volunteer from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm, please contact me at membership@lowomensclub.org. We will be working the registration table and checking in golfers for the event. 

Child Advocates (CASA's) provide trained community volunteers to advocate for children in cases where they have been placed in foster care. This is another great way for us to support them, by giving them some of our time. They are also in need of golfers. The tournament is a 4-person scramble. For additional information on the tournament, please visit their website:  http://www.casa-cc.org

First Friendraiser a success!

Beautiful summer evening outdoors, great friends and delicious food.  What could make it better?  New women joining the LOWC!  

New membership is off and running!  A big thank you to Karen and Steve Norgaard for opening up their home, to host our first friendraiser on July 25th. An additional thank you to all the members that showed up with wine and appetizers, and shared their insight on our organization. There were 8 interested women in attendance, which resulted in a few of them joining that evening.  

The second friend raiser was held today, in form of a brunch. An Evite was sent out to the membership and guests.

As a reminder, if you know of anyone that would be a great candidate for our organization, or is interested, please send their name to membership@lowomensclub.org.
