Marking a century’s worth of impact with the Woman’s Club of Albany
From pushing for city-wide garbage collection, to fire protection programs, to making it mandatory for meat and milk to be inspected, the woman's club of Albany has been helping the Capital Region for more than a century.
From pushing for city-wide garbage collection, to fire protection programs, to making it mandatory for meat and milk to be inspected, the Woman’s Club of Albany has been helping the Capital Region for more than a century.
The Woman’s Club of Albany was founded more back in 1910 by Mrs. Elmer Blair. She started the club with around two dozen women. They began a lasting mission to make up for the lack of support for women and children in the early Capital Region.
Today they have 180 members. The club and its ambitious women have created a lot of lasting positive change to the community.
Working out of the same historic home they’ve had since the early 1900s on Madison Avenue, the club says their legacy is dedicated to “help serve the underserved.”
