The Anderson County Woman's
Club (ACWC) was formed in 1971 by the leaders of several women's
organizations from throughout Anderson County. ACWC is a
Non-profit 501(c)3 organization. It's main purposes are to
foster and encourage the educational, literacy, cultural, and
civic growth in Anderson County and to preserve and maintain the
Marshall Orr House.
Today, ACWC provides scholarships at Anderson University and
Tri-County Technical College. ACWC is especially proud of its
Cinderella Project that provides prom dresses and accessories to
young ladies from area high schools without other means to
acquire them. ACWC also supports the Women & Children
Succeeding program of Anderson Interfaith Ministries.
In addition to community service opportunities, ACWC
provides an array of social get-togethers for members and their
friends throughout the year including: monthly catered
luncheons, fashion shows, coffees, teas, after-hour socials, bridge parties and
craft workshops. Many of these activities feature guest
speakers and entertainers. During the summer months there are
special events such as garden club tours, old-fashion ice cream
socials and barbecues.
There are numerous volunteer opportunities to serve as an
ACWC Officer or on the various committees that oversee the
operation of the club and the Marshall Orr House.
