In a recent conversation, Lisa Birou, Natalie Stamerro (current President), and Gail Newell (incoming President) reflected on the rich legacy and continued purpose of the Talbot County Women’s Club. Founded in 1930 at the height of the Great Depression, the club began with a small group of women in Easton sewing garments for local children in need. It quickly grew, enrolling nearly 200 women and establishing a mission rooted in service, community, and friendship.
The Club’s historic house—originally built in the late 18th century with bricks matching those of Easton’s courthouse—has been a gathering place since 1947. Today, the Club remains a vital nonprofit organization, fostering civic engagement and supporting other local causes. For many women, especially newcomers, it offers a meaningful way to connect, give back, and build lasting relationships.
As the Club approaches its 95th anniversary, its leaders hope to grow membership and restore the house to its former beauty, inviting the community to join in celebrating this enduring institution at an open house on Sunday, May 18, from 2 to 5 p.m.

This was an interesting piece and I knew nothing about the women’s club. I would like to attend the open house but the article and video did not provide an address.
The address is 18 Talbot Lane. Do come, all are welcome.
