Hear what members are saying:

“The Sarasota Day Adventure was a lot of fun – from learning about the fascinating history of the circus in Sarasota from a famous aerialist, visiting the Ringling Circus Museum, and spending the day with other members – it exceeded my expectations!” – Cathy Milos

“Susan and I saw the [Bob Dylan] movie the next evening and got so much more out of it having had the benefit of hearing Ed’s lecture first. We enjoyed it tremendously. Thank you to the Women’s Club for bringing this series to Chautauqua.” – Bill Follansbee
