Ladies' Club

The Ladies' Club is a group of multicultural women who get together at least twice a month to participate in a wide variety of activities that emphasize “social learning”. From group discussions to study breaks, bowling night to spa night, and cooking for a party to line dancing, the Ladies' Club is a chance for the women of the multicultural community to come together and, quite simply, have a good time!
