Unless otherwise noted, meetings are held at St. Timothy United Methodist Church, located at 1020 Asheville Highway

Doors open 30 minutes before the meeting to offer time to socialize and enjoy light refreshments before the programs.  You do not have to be a member to attend a program.

We follow the school schedule. A delayed opening means we will have the program at our scheduled time. If the schools close, the program will be cancelled and rescheduled.

We attempt to support women in our community  by offering a variety of programs that highlight local non-profits, community information and women’s achievements . We hope you will enjoy the schedule this year and look forward to seeing you at the programs!
