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.
Venice-Nokomis Woman’s Club (VNWC) presented the City of Venice’s Historical Resources a small collection of historical documents pertaining to the origins and history of our club. This included early deeds for the VNWC’s clubhouse and agreements with the Friends of the Library, who became the beneficiary of the VNWC’s book collection.
Thank you to those who stopped by to visit our booth at the Venice Main Street Labor Day Craft Fair, and the volunteers who hosted the booth.
