Mrs. Marie Hinricks, wife of a Cal Tech professor, was elected President and dues were set at $1.00 per year. Two years later, in 1923, the Club had 206 members, representing 59 colleges. Currently, over 100 years later, the Club continues to adhere to its original purposes, providing scholarships and fellowships to deserving women in local colleges as well as providing social and intellectual opportunities for women in the Pasadena area.

We are pleased to honor our newest scholarship recipients with a Luncheon and Awards Ceremony on May 7 at 12 noon at The Blinn House. Join us for our most meaningful meeting of the year as we learn more about our scholars and the individual paths each scholar has taken in order to make their education a priority in their lives, and how CWC will be a part of their journey.
