Welcome

We support our community. We’re active women of all ages with diverse life experiences — homemakers, businesswomen, teachers, nurses, executives and retirees — who combine their skills to provide community service when and where it is needed. For more than a century, Woman’s Club of Ramsey has helped Ramsey maintain its library, fire department, ambulance corps, parks and schools.

Put yourself in the picture — we love to welcome new members.

We meet new friends. Our circle of friends grows as we share our talents with women with similar interests and goals. We’re proud that we helped make Ramsey a wonderful place to live, and we’re grateful that lending a hand to people in need enriches our own lives.


Guy Jones of Blooming Hill Farms shares gardening tips.

We look forward to summer picnics and Farmers’ Market fundraisers.

We fill our social calendar. We enjoy holiday parties and summer picnics, gather for luncheons and potluck meals, and celebrate new members at a May installation luncheon.


We report on our achievements at District Council meetings.

We’re proud of Katie Parker and Paula Bartow. Katie is our Ramsey Volunteer of the Year — she is a gracious hostess at our monthly Thursday meetings and dishes out yummy treats all day at our Farmers’ Market fundraisers. Paula, a former Club President, was featured in the December “Ramsey Neighbors” magazine.


The Apple Festival on Saturday, September 22, wound up our season of Farmers’ Market events. Thanks to generous donations and Flower Power sales, we’re continuing our donations to community organizations.


Our Welcome Back luncheon kicked off the fall season. We greeted new members and planned several Lunch Bunch outings.


A big thank-you to everyone who bought Flower Power Crafts at our Ramsey Day booth — paper flowers, flower necklaces, shadowbox art and beautifully boxed soap flowers. — plus funny plant markers, keychains, quote necklaces and earrings. Kids loved our critter zipper pulls!


We made major donations in July. On July 11, the Club gave checks to Ramsey Responds, to aid Ramsey residents in need, and to Several Sources Shelters, to support programs for pregnant women and their babies. The next week, the Ramsey Volunteer Ambulance Corps and the Ramsey Rescue Squad gathered to accept their checks, and we sent a donation to the Tommy Strong Foundation to help children hospitalized with cancer.


Every June, the Club sends a deserving senior to the Ramsey High School Prom. The school chooses the girl (her identity is top secret!), and we send her on a shopping spree. This year’s lucky senior sent us a thank-you note to tell us she had a wonderful time.


At the New Resident Mixer at the Ramsey Pool in June, we handed out bookmarks, flyers and application forms to invite newcomers to join the Club. There’s more info on the Join Us menu.


We kicked off our Farmers’ Market festivals the first Sunday in June, when we served free strawberry shortcake at the Ramsey train depot. Fun fact: When the depot was built in 1868, it wasn’t meant for passengers — it was to carry “red gold,” the strawberry crop of 50,000 baskets daily, from Ramsey.


Keep bringing food to the St. Paul’s Food Pantry! Take your donations of shelf-stable items directly to the Food Pantry bins at the rear of the St. Paul’s parking lot. This month we’re donating breakfast foods.
