Service Work
Holiday Auction
In late November or early December, the club holds its annual
Holiday Auction. This lively event is usually hosted in the Woodcroft Community Room (Suite K) or a member's home. Guests bid on donated items, crafts, baked
goods, and services (babysitting services are always a hit
when auctioned). A club member serves as "emcee" for the
evening. Holiday decorations and refreshments add to a very
festive evening of holiday "shopping" and socializing.
Neighborhood
Yard Sale
The Woodcroft Women's Club teams up with Jordan High School
to hold a neighborhood yard sale each spring. It is a great
opportunity to sell old treasures and shop for great bargains.
While the school generously provides its parking lot, the
WWC sells spaces to members of the community wishing to
set up a table. The nominal fee for a double parking space
goes to the club for its fund-raising coffers; beyond that,
sale participants keep 100 percent of their sales. The WWC
also sponsors a White Elephant Table and a concession stand,
and arranges for pick-up of unsold items at the end of the
sale.
Durham Crisis Response
Center
Beginning in 2006, the ladies of the Woodcroft Women's
Club have been collecting donations for the Durham Crisis
Response Center. The shelter provides a safe place for women
and children of domestic or sexual violence.
Food Bank of Durham
Beginning in 2006, the members of the Woodcroft
Women's Club have volunteered their time once every other
month at the Food Bank of Durham. The Food Bank benefits
many organizations and individuals throughout Central and
Eastern North Carolina.
Adopt-a-Trail
The Woodcroft Women's Club meets monthly to clean a section
of the Tobacco trail that runs through Woodcroft and neighboring
communities. The women of our club are very focused on keeping
our area beautiful and inviting to nature lovers. Thank
you to all the responsible trail users for keeping Durham
beautiful!
