Clubs--United States
Description
A newspaper article written by Ben Wheeler and published by <em>The Oviedo Voice</em> in February of 2006. The article describes the history of the Oviedo Woman's Club (OWC) and also provides a brief history of woman's clubs in Florida. According to the article, the Green Cove Springs' Village Improvement Association was formed as the first woman's club in Florida on February 20, 1883.<br /><br />The Oviedo Woman's Club was founded in 1906 as the Oviedo Magazine Club by seven charter members: H. B. McCall, Edith Meade, Georgia Lee Wheeler, Lillian Lee Lawton, Mattie Aulin Wheeler, Milcah Yonge, and Mary King. The first clubhouse was constructed in 1914 and also served as Oviedo's first library. In 1916, the club joined the FFWC and officially changed its name to the Oviedo Woman's Club. In 1923, the woman's club was federated under the umbrella of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs (GFWC). A new clubhouse was built in 1961 on property donated by R. L. Croom, a former member, which is located at 414 King Street. The Oviedo Woman's Club is involved in many civic projects, including the annual Great Day in the Country Arts and Crafts Festival, the Spring Fundraiser, Tasting Luncheons, and Celebrate Spring Teas.
