This year, the Elgin Woman's Club is celebrating its 130th year, having been founded in 1887 and, one year later, founded Sherman Hospital. Since the club was organized members have supported hundreds of local projects, including yearly scholarships to students from Elgin Area School District U-46 high schools.

In addition, members serve as volunteers in hospitals and other agencies throughout the Elgin area and are active in recycling, conservation, women's health, international affairs and other projects.
