GET INVOLVED
The Houston Heights Woman's Club offers a variety of community service and social activities. Whether you're looking for outreach service in our community, an engaging book club discussion, exploring artistic expression in the writing & creativity group, an arts outing, or a happy hour get-together, the club offers something to match the diverse interests of our membership. Club members look forward to our annual events: The Houston Heights Woman's Club proudly sponsors many charitable causes. When our founding members adopted a Constitution and By-Laws in 1905, they added the clause "to aid and encourage charitable and educational interests of Houston Heights" as an integral part of the Club's purpose. Community outreach continues to be a vital part of our organization. Many of our events are free and open to members and guests, and one of the many benefits of membership is reduced pricing for some of our annual events.

Prizes for best hat, best costume and best group costume - let the spells fly and the magic ignite!
Registration opens in October to ladies 21 and up. All members and guests are welcome. Channel Your Generosity: If you would like to contribute to fundraising by underwriting portions of this event, donating to the silent auction, or joining our Hostess Committee contact with Chairs Laura Lance & Emily Colvin. We encourage you to share the 2024 Witches Luncheon fundraising efforts with community businesses and leaders. Magic Meets Mission: This premier fundraising event supports our philanthropic efforts to reach the needs of the Greater Heights community serving seniors, children, fighting hunger, empowering women, advancing the historic, educational, artistic, cultural and social fabric of our community. Houston Heights Woman’s Club was established in 1900 - please join us and the generations of women that are keeping our founders’ legacy alive.  | The Writing & Creativity Group meets at the Clubhouse on the third Monday of each month. We are a group of members who have created a space to appreciate and explore all types of creative expression. We provide an audience for each other’s creativity. Club members are welcome to join us and expand our network of like-minded members to share ideas, creative resources and events. Our monthly meetings will be held at the Clubhouse with guest speaker “expert” talks, group projects and feedback on our writers' written work. Additionally, members take turns planning creative excursions in the community such as classes, art, film, music, theater, museums, cooking and poetry. While several of us are writers, all of us share the desire to pursue and explore all sorts of creative expression. If you are looking for a group to spark your creativity, we would love to meet you at our next meeting. Contact Kathy or Marlo for more information and visit the calendar to register for the next event!
In 2007, members launched one of the Club’s most popular fundraising events, the Victorian Tea.
Member-hostesses adopt a table, establish its theme and decorate it with china, crystal, silver, linens, and elaborate centerpieces. Attendees (many of whom are in costume) enjoy a traditional afternoon tea of scones, quiches, finger sandwiches, tarts, cookies, and the finest Darjeeling tea. It is not an event that will soon be forgotten!
