Founded in 1926, we are one of the oldest not for profit civic organizations in the State of Florida.
The objects and aims of the VNWC are to:
• Promote civic and social welfare through fundraising activities
• Provide awards annually to community organizations
• Provide college scholarship opportunities for high school and former high school students
• Share intellectual and cultural programs with the members
Our mission is supported by fundraising events and gifting through our legacy investments.
