MANCHESTER WOMAN'S CLUB
Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA
Organized 1908
Welcome to the
Manchester Woman's Club
The Manchester Woman's Club was organized in 1908 by women who wished to promote good work in the community. Our continued mission is to provide opportunities for its members to engage their ethical, social, and intellectual interests to enrich their lives and serve the community.
​
In 1910 the Executive Board voted to employ a district nurse. The following year the nursing service became affiliated with the National Red Cross. In the wake of the great influenza epidemic of 1918, the nursing service was deemed an asset to the community. In 1979 the Manchester Nursing Service became the Visiting Nurse Association. Today it is named the VNA Care Network and Hospice.
​
Our Club is best known for the Friendship Tree on the Town Green. We acquired the Norway Spruce in 1965 and have illuminated the tree every holiday season since.
