For 50 years the St. Charles Women’s Club has lived up to its motto “Making a Difference.”

The non-profit civic and social organization is driven by the desire to help the community. One of the very first things the organization did was create the ARC of St. Charles.

Money isn’t the only thing members give back to the community; they also collect cans and non-perishable foods at their monthly meetings for different local groups.

Club members held their Annual Christmas Luncheon Dec. 17 at Cedar Grove Tchoupitoulas Plantation in Waggaman. Members and guests enjoyed food, music and surprises. A special lapel pin was made for the anniversary, and each member received one.
