Women Enjoying Books (W.E.B.) is a book club that started with a small group of
friends or colleagues in 2008. The passion of a shared common interest in reading
books is what brought the women together, but it changed subtly over the years to
become a family of women who share the many milestones of their lives together.
There have been celebrations of marriages, births, graduations, and new jobs. There
has also been fellowship that serves as a healing salve when a member lost a loved
one. Books and a passion for reading brought us together but being a family and
sharing one another’s lives are the lifeblood that nourishes this group ten plus years
later and keeps it strong. W.E.B. has volunteered in projects like visiting a
residential retirement community and providing entertainment or primary school
beautification. The members are working professionals and the values of
commitment, compassion, education, and service to others encompass our desire to
support a scholarship that will assist a woman in her pursuit of educational or
professional excellence.
