The General Woman’s Club of Lehigh Acres is a non-profit organization.

The club meets the third Friday of the month at 1 pm, at the RISE Christian Church. Our calendar year is September through May. We provide scholarships and donate to local organizations (such as Hope hospice) as well as other Lehigh Community services.
The club’s largest event of the year is their annual fashion show, which this year will be held on March 9, 2024, at the Pelican Preserve Country Club in Ft. Myers with fashions from Chico’s of Ft. Myers. All proceeds from the fashion show go to our scholarship fund, which is awarded to single parents from Lehigh Acres who have children living in their home and who have chosen to further their education, and to better themselves and their children.
