IWC inaugural meeting

On Friday May 15th, 1981 a meeting was held in her home. Ten women were present at the meeting: Mrs. W. Roy Adams, Mrs. Robert Baker, Mrs. Bruno Gabrynowicz, Mrs. John Gilmour, Mrs. Renwich Martin, Mrs. Joseph Mill, Mrs. Frank Mulderig, Mrs. John Swift, Mrs. John Newton and Joanne Moody. This group voted to form a club that should be International in scope, so that women of all nationalities residing in Bermuda would be welcome. The club would be American in concept so that it would bring together women from all over the world to share a common goal. Thus, it was decided to name the club “The International American Women’s Club – Bermuda.” The purpose of the organization would be to promote intellectual growth, to encourage social fellowship and to provide service to the community.
