The Maysville Younger Woman’s Club is a service organization dedicated to improving the lives of those in our community and all over the world. While service is
their primary focus, many projects and programs require some fundraising. Their
main fundraising project is the annual charity ball which will be held on October 11th
at the Cox building with a “Bollywood” theme. Another fundraising project is the
collection of Maysville ornaments. The 2014 ornament is called “Welcome to Maysville” and is currently available for purchase from any club woman or at Traxel’s
Jewelry and Bedouin’s Merle Norman. Some organizations they have supported
over the past year include the Women’s Crisis Center, Camp Discovery, Scholarship
to MCTC, Tom Browning Boys & Girls Club, local schools, Mason County Public
Library, United Way, KET, YMCA, etc. Currently, they have 28 devoted members
which meet monthly on the first Thursday of every month. Please like their Facebook page to find out more information about their club and events in which they
are participating.
