Greetings from your co-chairs!

Come celebrate with us the achievements of today’s women, decision-makers in politics and government, journalism and academia. At each of our four meetings, we will celebrate where we are today, our future, and also reflect on the Club’s rich history as reported in the June, 2011, issue of Madison Magazine.

Join us. Rejoin us. Invite others to join us. Be part of the membership as we celebrate 100 Years of Engaging Minds in Madison.

As you can see, our website has undergone a makeover. When the makeover is complete, we will have expanded online capabilities: You will be able to join, reserve places for you and guests, and pay online—smoothly and efficiently.

We are currently putting the final touches on our exciting speaker series for our 100th Anniversary Year. Full details of our plans will be available soon. Brochures will be mailed in July.

Madison Magazine has featured our 100th anniversary in their June 2011 issue! Read the article here.

Anyone can become a member of the Madison Civics Club.

The 2011-2012 membership fee is $100. This includes the cost of all four luncheon meetings for the season.

Or, you can be a "Friend of the Club" by donating any amount above the membership fee. Now that we have attained 501(c)(3) status, donations above the $100 membership fee may be claimed as charitable deductions.
