Our mission

The International Ladies Club was founded more than 25 years ago by a small group of foreign-born ladies living in Kingwood who enjoyed meeting socially on a regular basis, to share their experiences and to offer each other friendship and support, while living far away from home. Over the years the club has grown in spurts, then has seen off-shoots sprout in various directions as people with similar interests or language decided to branch off.

Our club’s mission is primarily a social one: to allow ladies from any part of the world to interact with each other in friendship and to let them share their interest in the world, in its fascinating peoples, its fabulous cultures and its stellar diversity. In that frame of mind, the club is open to everyone.

The purpose of our minimal board is to organize us as a group, to facilitate communications, meetings and activities. The board is composed of volunteers who bring their own personalities, life experiences and interests, affecting the club’s “flavor” each year. Board meetings are open to everyone and each of you is invited and encouraged to help with any of the club’s activities.

This year, in addition to potluck coffees or lunches in a member’s home on the third Thursday of each month, we will have speakers with educational or informational messages, a Christmas Dinner-And-Dance, cultural outings, as well as themed-parties.

We collect yearly dues of $ 20 per member to support our activities. At the end of the year the balance is donated to a number of local charities selected by the group.

We do not promote anyone’s business in particular and will not advertise anything which does not clearly have a cultural, educational or community purpose.

This is YOUR club! We welcome all of your ideas and input.
