"Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." – Marcel Proust
The Fountain Hills Women's Club was organized January 1974.
We are a dynamic, growing organization.
Dedicated to helping within the community.
The Fountain Hills Women's Club (FHWC) provides funding for annual scholarships. These scholarships benefit graduating seniors at the Fountain Hills High School, through the Golden Eagle Foundations, and re-entry scholarships for the benefit of women who live or work in Fountain Hills.

EVERYONE who wishes to attend the monthly luncheons MUST contact Carol Goyena by the date specified (the Friday before the scheduled meeting) to make a reservation. This is the only method we have to ensure that the caterer prepares enough food & that we will have the correct number of tables & table decorations to accommodate everyone. Even if you have always come every month, you need to notify Carol. Several people have become lax about doing this & it is becoming a problem.

Supporting Aged out of Foster Adults
Ginny Paulsen founded Foster Your Future to provide support for young adults that have aged out of foster care that want to continue with their education or train in a vocational career as well as work. Support includes assistance with housing, helping get grants or funding for education and finding an appropriate job. This also includes supporting them in getting the credentials needed for work, providing clothing, food, training to drive and household items. The ultimate goal is to gradually transition them to supporting themselves while studying and learning a meaningful career path. We welcome anyone interested in learning more about the club to join us.
More than just an event, this annual celebration shines a spotlight on the businesses, leaders and volunteers who make Fountain Hills thrive. The Fountain Hills Chamber Gala will be held on May 9th at WeKoPa Casino Resort. Please consider celebrating together. The cost for FHWC members is $85 each/$150 a couple. Be sure to mention that you are a member of the FHWC so that they can apply the appropriate cost and make a note in the system for seating purposes.
The event was a huge success with lots of dancing and fun for all. We would like to offer a huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported our event. If you were there, you already know what a fun event it was. If you were unable to attend, we appreciate your support and hope to see you at a future event!
The net proceeds from this event will benefit scholarships for women in our community so they can continue their education and advance their careers.
The Book Club will be held on Wednesday, April 23rd.
