The club was chartered in 1939 as the Sandoval Woman’s Club; and, as a result of a recent by-law change, is now known as GFWC/IL Sandoval Woman’s Club. We have had 37 different presidents. The club originally wrapped bandages during WWII and today is involved in a myriad of community projects. Some recent projects include creation of a Veteran’s Memorial, Welcome signs at the entrance to the Village, support of the local volunteer fire department, Shalom activities, Arts in the Community and contributes to uncountable charitable, civic and community activities.
Our club is proud to have active committees in the GFWC Illinois Departments: Arts, Conservation, Education, Home Life/Health, International Affairs, and Empowering Women. Projects: Fund Raising, Membership, and Public Relations. A Safe Place for Every Child and Domestic Violence Awareness are both Club-Wide endeavors.
