Who We Are

Our Legacy and Vision

Alamo Women's Club (AWC) is affiliated with The General Federation of Women's Clubs — an international organization committed to community improvement and volunteer service. AWC operates as a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit.

We trace our origins to 1916 as the Mothers' Club of Alamo Grammar School. During World War II, members served in watchtowers, prepared bandages, and ran canteens for returning soldiers.

In the early 1950s, the generosity of Ruth and Dr. Corwin Henry gave us our permanent home — a beautiful clubhouse that anchors our philanthropic mission to this day.
