La Jolla Woman's Club Membership At the turn of the 19th century, La Jolla was a simple village sparsely populated by small cottages.

420 Paid Members

A note from the Club’s 1965–1966 history records an impressive milestone: 420 paid members.

The Founding of the Philanthropy Committee

At a November 1968 Board Meeting, La Jolla Woman’s Club voted to organize a Philanthropy Committee — formally recognizing a spirit of giving that had already shaped the Club for decades.
