Welcome to the NFWC
In August of 1966, the Nottingham Forest Garden Club was organized by a group of like-minded neighborhood ladies who wanted camaraderie and bonded over their shared love of gardening. In 1970, it was expanded to include a variety of other topics of interest and renamed to what we know today as the Nottingham Forest Women’s Club.
Today, we offer monthly meetings with a variety of topics -- from women's health and local history to hands-on art and philanthropy. Our interest groups include book clubs (day and night) pickleball, needlepoint, gardening, games and more. Other activities include fabulous field trips, philanthropy opportunities and our annual Home & Garden Tour.
Philanthropy Opportunities: Support the Library and the Stock the Lounge!
Thornwood Elementary Book and Coffee Drives
This sweet SBISD elementary school receives very little parental support and we have two opportunities to show them some love this month!
First, let’s stock the Teacher’s Lounge with coffee pods, tea, condiments and individually wrapped snacks and bars. Starting 9/15 through Friday 9/24, I will have a bin on my front porch (510 Clear Spring Dr) for donations. I will deliver to the school on Monday, 9/27. Don’t have time to shop? Just text me at 832-434-3916 for my Venmo information to make a monetary donation.
Our second opportunity is to support the teachers through the school Book Fair which runs 9/15-9/22. Teachers will have baskets of “Wish List” books they would love to receive for their classroom. I can organize a group shopping night at their Open House to purchase Wish List Books, plus we can shop for ourselves. The Open House is Thursday, September 16th from 5:30 to 7pm – text me if you are interested in going.
I can also accept monetary donations to purchase books. Purchasing books for teachers is a win-win! Teachers get books for their classrooms and the library receives a percentage of all sales to purchase books!
Thank you, generous ladies, for your support of TWE!!!
