Our History

The Woman’s Club of Medford, NJ (WCOM), was founded in 1914 with an original membership of 14 women. Louise Dyer was the first President and the club met in the Filbert House School and adopted the violet as its flower. The Club joined with the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs in 1916.

In the 1940’s the club began to meet in the Medford Community Center. The Woman’s Club of Medford was instrumental in starting the first lending library upstairs in the Community Center on Main Street in the center of town, the township’s summer recreation program, and the traditional holiday tree lighting ceremony.
