The Holly Club of Wrentham, organized in 1898, is dedicated to social services, civic activities, and a broader fellowship among women. Affiliated with the General Federation of Women's Clubs of Massachusetts and the General Federation of Women's Clubs, the Holly Club is open to all women regardless of race, color, or creed.

Any woman interested in the objectives and work of the club is invited to attend a meeting and/or become a member. Please contact our Membership Chairperson, Jane Robinson at (508) 384-8209 or thehollyclub@gmail.com for more information.

"In broadening our membership base, we become aware of other groups, other needs, other ways in which we can become involved and make a difference in the world, sometimes in small ways, sometimes in larger ways." Joan Korslund, Holly Club of Wrentham, President.
