Arlington Woman's Club

The May meeting of the Garden & Gourmet Department had packed agenda! There was an Installation of Officers for the 2026-2027 year, recognition of our 2025-2026 officers. The program for the meeting was a style show by Chico's that was enjoyed by all the attendees.

The Scholarship Tea was wonderful event as the AWC honored 6 outstanding students from the Arlington Independent School District and one First Responder with college scholarships. The recipients were: Jamison Adams-Arlington HS, Elizabeth Hayden-Bowie HS, Cheyenne Thiel-Martin HS, Lea Syed-Seguin HS, Jocelyn Arellano-Lamar HS, Emily Makanjuola-Sam Houston HS, and Peyton Chappell-First Responder. Congratulations to all of these seniors!

The Bible Department met on April 13th. Kasey McCollum presented the program "Texas Health Community Hope: Partnering with Faith Communities for Health & Wellbeing".

April 20th was Game Night for The Night Department! So much laughter and Fun! Melina was having so much fun learning to play Bunco, that she forgot to take pictures of everyone playing the various games!

Sandwiches, chips and dips for our meal were provided by our hostesses for the evening: Melina Wikoff, Karen Bornsen, Paula Cox, Kristine Behrhorst, Carol Tieman and Cindy Cunningham.

The Travel Department enjoyed a lovely trip to see Southfork Ranch! The ladies enjoyed lunch at The Chocolate Angel in Richardson followed by a tour of the beautiful Southfork Ranch and then enjoyed some shopping at the Northpark Mall.

The trip was beautiful except for the new bus driver who seemed to have misplaced her smile and had an epic chip on her shoulder.
