we are very excited to announce our newly created In-Person W Clubs.

Reinforcing the “healing power of social connection” here at the W Connection, we are adding in-person W Clubs to our existing online programming. 

All our W Club leaders are members, widows and trained volunteers who are eager to “pay it forward”.  They will lead one structured meeting per month where local members can reflect and share insights from each month’s online meetings. There will also be time for socializing after every club meeting. 

Local Club members are also encouraged to create additional social get-togethers as well.  It’s a great opportunity to make new friendships among “girlfriends who get it”. 

We start with the following locations.  If you are interested in helping us create a local W Club in your area, click here.
