Organized in 1924, the Woman’s Community Club of Kensington was federated in 1925. During its 85 YEARS, it has held meetings in venues throughout Greater Kensington.
Among the highlights of its history, WCCK was the first Maryland club to collect change for UNICEF, one of its members founded Montgomery County’s “Over 60 Employment and Counseling Service," and the Club helped furnish Montgomery College’s Vocational Guidance Center.
