Bylaw changes approved by the Board in June, to be voted on at September General meeting

• Article II - Mission: the addition of the word “Service” to be included in the Mission statement for MWC. It will now  read:  The mission of the Moultonborough Women’s Club is to establish a social, cultural, educational, charitable and service organization for the women of the Moultonborough area. In unity, the MWC will be the power of good in the community.

• Article IV Section 6: Increase the maximum amount of money to spend before going to the Board for approval from $100 to $500. It will now read: An amount, not to exceed $500, from the General Fund should be available for the use at the discretion of the Executive Board.

The Executive Board recommends awarding Honorary Membership status to Donna Conway and Pat Keegan. The By-Laws state:

• A member who has actively contributed to the betterment of the Club over a period of time and is now unable to regularly participate due to travel or health limitations may be selected as an Honorary Member for life upon the recommendation of the Executive Board and a vote of the Membership at any General Meeting.

MWC Communications New Policy for submissions. June 2026

With a goal of having submissions to the Communications Committee contain helpful information, direct them to the appropriate people, and control the external Facebook postings so as not to crowd out MWC postings the Board has approved this New Policy.

A form has been established to be filled out when submitting photos and other information to be communicated to the wider community. The form includes this identifying information:

• Date

• Who are the people in the photo (unless a large group)

• What is the activity

• Where is the activity being held

A QR code/link to this form will be made available on the MWC website, in Reminder emails and on Activity Committee flyers. The link will direct your submission to the appropriate Communications Committee members. 

New Policy for Facebook external submissions:

The purpose of Facebook for MWC is to promote the Club and its activities. With this focus - MWC activities and news have top priority. External postings will be permitted if they fall into the following categories:

• Town of Moultonborough activities/news

• Library activities/news

• Sponsors of MWC activities/news

• Charities that are grant recipients of MWC activities/news

August is full of fun activities, and we hope you'll join us! Be sure to sign up early for the events that interest you.  Don't forget to check us out on Facebook and on the Upcoming Events and Calendar pages for the latest updates and upcoming events.  If you have any questions, Mary Bishop and Jan Flanagan are happy to help.
