Who we are...what we do...
Our Club
The Civic Club of Oakland has been active since 1911 when a group of ladies decided to literally 'clean up' the town removing 64 wagon loads of trash and debris from the town's streets. Over the next 100 plus years, the club has been engaged in many activities, all with the goal of connecting to the community and helping where and whenever there was a need. We continue that tradition today.
Our History
Locally organized in 1911, the Civic Club of Oakland joined forces with the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC) in 1914. Under GFWC, we are part of the Maryland Federation Women's Club (MFWC) - Western District. We are our own club, but enjoy the benefits of being part of a larger organization with the ability to share ideas and forge friendships with club members throughout the state.
Our Mission
Yes...we have an official Mission Statement, but the formal words don't sound very fun. We learn from our community and each other; we help where help is needed; we become friends and socialize outside of meetings; we make memories... we make a difference.
