A Message from Our President

Dear Members,

I hope you have had a wonderful summer and are looking forward, as I am, to the start of another exciting Club season.

As I begin my term as President of The Women’s Club of Forest Hills, I am grateful for the trust and confidence you have placed in me. I would like to express my appreciation to our outgoing President, Jen Meier, for her dedicated leadership and service. Thanks to our outgoing officers, Board members, chapter chairs – and to all of you- for your countless contributions.

This promises to be another wonderful year for our Club. I look forward to seeing you at the many exciting, informative and fun activities that reflect our mission and strengthen the friendships that make our Club so special.

I encourage you to further explore our upgraded Club website, where you’ll find specific information about our many activities, including our Philanthropic and Floral Luncheons, Guest Night, our year-end Celebration of the Arts and our Year End Luncheon.

Thank you for the privilege of serving as your President. I look forward to seeing you and getting to know more of you during the 2026-2027 season.

Warm regards,

Marilyn Matthes

President
