The Montage Women’s Club is a social and philanthropic club open to all women residing in Lee County. We meet on the fourth Thursday of each month at The Club at Pelican Preserve, 9802 Pelican Preserve Blvd, Fort Myers 33913 (community entry off Treeline Avenue between Colonial Blvd and Daniels Pkwy).
Activities begin at 11:30 a.m. with a short social period, followed by lunch at 12 Noon, then an informative speaker program, followed by a short business meeting ending at 2:00 p.m. Within the organization are various interest groups for members’ participation. Membership is open to both year-round and seasonal residents. We welcome you to visit Montage for a luncheon.
Our next meeting will be held on Thursday, May 23, and our planned speakers will be Marcia Davis, Executive Director for the Housing Authority of the City of Fort Myers, and Desi Wynter, Chief Real Estate Officer of that same organization. They design and manage the community development enterprise known as the Greater Dunbar Initiative. This Initiative is a collaborative effort between local, state and federal agencies and private businesses and industries to address issues such as distressed housing, crime and unemployment in the “Southward Village” and surrounding neighborhood of Fort Myers.
Additionally, our May meeting will conclude with the installation of the new Montage Women’s Club Executive Board for 2024-2025.
Luncheon fee is $28.00 and the planned regular entree will be Three Meat Lasagna with house marinara, broccolini and Tiramisu for dessert. The plant-based/vegan entree will be Vegan Lasagna, broccolini, with fresh fruit for dessert. Fresh rolls and butter are always served.
