The Weston Women's League, formerly the Weston Young Woman's Club ("WYWC"), was founded to promote a sense of community through dedication to civic services, fundraising and social/cultural activities.Organized in 1972 by Karin Giannitti and a core of Weston women who recognized these needs, WYWC grew to be a keystone of philanthropic and educational endeavors in Weston.

In 1973, regular meetings were held at Emmanuel Church and funds had already been raised and donated to several local charities. WYWC joined the Connecticut State Federation of Women's Leagues in 1974 and operated according to its guidelines until 1979 when the membership voted to become an independent entity.

In June 2003, the club decided to change its name to the Weston Women's League ("WWL" or the "League") to better reflect its membership and its mission.As an active force in Weston life, WWL reflects the ever-changing complexion of its community. This social consciousness is evident in the breadth of activities and services initiated by WWL members whosetalent and commitment create the backbone of this organization.

WWL has distributed over $500,000 to many Fairfield County charities, including Children's Connection of Fairfield County, Connecticut Association for Children with Learning Disabilities, Interfaith Housing Association, and Mercy Learning Center, and has contributed to the needs of our Weston neighbors through donations to Weston Social Services, Weston Senior Center, Weston Warm-up Fund, Weston Education Foundation, Weston Park Project, Weston Library, Weston EMS, Fire and Police services, Weston Historical Society and others.

We gratefully acknowledge the accomplishments of our predecessors and affirm our continuing support of their purpose.
