Grab your sharp scissors (label them please) and join us for a fun “No-Sew” tie blanket making get-together on Saturday, March 16th from 1-4 pm at the Evesham Library Activities Room (984 Tuckerton Rd., Marlton – Township of Evesham Municipal Complex). Light snacks will be provided, but please bring your own beverage.
The club has enough blanket kits for this event – NO ADDITIONAL kits need to be purchased. Covenant House in Atlantic City is a safe-haven for homeless teens and youth at risk for human trafficking. There is a constant need in the shelter for these blankets and they are very much appreciated by the residents. All our members are welcome! Hope to see you there – any amount of time you can spare will be a great help!
Questions, please call Donna Gatti at zeets1@comcast.net.

60th Anniversary Celebration: 1964-2024
In April 2024, the Marlton Woman's Club will celebrate 60 years of service to the Marlton and Evesham communities. The club was organized in 1963 and federated in 1964.
We will celebrate our 60th anniversary with a potluck dinner on Monday, April 15 starting at 6:30 pm at the Gibson House. Please mark your calendars for this fun evening! We will not have a General Meeting in April.
When we looked closer at the calendar, we realized our scheduled celebration would fall on a religious holiday. So the 60th anniversary celebration will now be Monday, April 15. Numerous fundraisers are being planned so we can raise funds to donate a park bench to Evesham Township Parks Dept. as our gift. More details will be available at the February meeting. Sign-up sheets for food, etc. will also be at the February meeting.
