Welcome!!!
Founded in 1977, the American Women's Club of Oakville (AWCO) is a non-profit organization serving both the community and its members. Membership includes U.S. born and naturalized citizens, both women and men, with the majority residing in the Halton and Peel regions of Ontario, Canada.
For many years American women living in Oakville traveled into Toronto for meetings of the American Women's Club of Toronto (AWCT) which was founded in 1917. The distance and time involved was a challenge for many. In 1977 representatives from Oakville (Betty Warner, Mary Bowen, Lou Roszell, and Patti Fox) met with representatives of the AWCT to discuss the formation of an Oakville club. On May 31, 1977 and the American Women's Club of Oakville came into being.
The purpose of the club is to provide fellowship and social activities among Americans and to encourage participation in service to the community, both civic and philanthropic. In addition to meeting on the second Thursday of every month, September through May, the AWCO sponsors monthly meetings, activities, and special events for members and their families.
