The Saturday Cub of Vacaville is celebrating it’s 100th year! The first women’s club in Solano County, it was established for “the musical improvement of its members and the stimulation of musical interest in Vacaville”.

By 1914, the wording of the purpose of the Club was changed to read… “to form a recognized center for social and mental culture, to further the education of women for the responsibilities of life, to encourage all movements for the betterment of society, and to foster generous public spirit in the com-munity”. Today, these objectives remain with the Club’s dedication “to supporting cultural arts in our community”.

Through volunteering, donating and fund-raising, Saturday Club helps support local organizations that further the arts and culture of our community. Young artists from our community are often invited to perform at our monthly meetings and other events.

Support in the form of scholarships is given to local high school seniors and college or university undergraduates planning to further their artistic education and contributions to the community by way of their talent—voice, music, dance, theater, visual or graphic arts, film production, and/or creative writing. In recent years Saturday Club has been fortunate to have a partnership with the Advocates for the Arts (AFTA). They have contributed significantly to our Scholarship Program. In 2008 our club awarded $12,000 in scholarships.
