Women's Division Committee Background

The Women’s Division Committee of the Garden Grove Chamber was created in 1960. The Division is an active, vital part of the Chamber. The purpose of the Women’s Division Committee is to promote and coordinate civic improvement projects, community–wide cultural and art projects. The Women’s Division Committee hosts a monthly luncheon, the third Thursday, September through June. The luncheon is held at the Garden Grove Elk’s Lodge. Each April the Women’s Division Committee hosts the Silver Spoons Tea. This event recognizes persons in local community service organizations who have made a major contribution to their organization and to the community. Each honoree is presented with a decorative sterling silver spoon pin. Over 300 people attend the Tea. The Women’s Division Committee actively supports the projects of the main Chamber.
