The Mercer Island Women's Club holds 6 General Meeting Luncheons at different locations throughout the Seattle area between September and May. The luncheons are open to all members, and are a wonderful way to connect with both old and new friends. Two special events are the annual Holiday Bazaar, held at the December luncheon, and our February charitable fundraising luncheon. Each year, the luncheons feature a variety of speakers. See below for a list of upcoming luncheon speakers and venues.
