Members of the Buford Woman’s Club make friends for a lifetime.
Each spring, the Buford Lanier Woman’s Club hosts a fund-raising event to benefit its designated local charities. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, March 29, at Buford Presbyterian Church in Sugar Hill. The event begins at 11:30 a.m. and is open to the public; please purchase tickets in advance.
The event includes lunch, a fashion show and BINGO and costs $30 per person. Additional BINGO cards can be purchased at the event.
The Buford High School Chorus will sing at the luncheon. Chico’s at Mall of Georgia is providing the fashions.
“As the club’s major fund-raising event for the year, we’re inviting all members of the community to join us to support our area charities,” said Carol Gibson, corresponding secretary of the club. “This is our 11th annual fashion show and luncheon, which has always been very successful. This year we’re adding BINGO.”
Founded in 1923, the club was originally part of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, headquarters in Washington, D.C. Its missions are to foster mutual counsel and helpfulness within the community and to unite the influence of women in promoting education, civic, social and moral advancement. The club is nonpartisan, nonsectarian, and nonprofit.
Evelyn Ackerman is the 2025 president.
“Here in Buford and the Lake Lanier area, we are community to four areas of community service: arts, conservation, education and community outreach,” Gibson said. “Membership is open to all women living in Buford and the surrounding area.”
The club holds membership meetings on the second Wednesday of each month, except July and August, at the Buford Community Center.
