About Us

A Little Background. Bonsall Woman's Club originally evolved from a bridge group. A pert little Irish lass named La Verne Conrad moved to Bonsall in the late '70s from North Hollywood, CA, where she was a member of the North Hollywood Women's Club. At that time, Bonsall was mostly avocado groves, farms, horse property, back roads and empty rolling hills. It could get pretty lonely out there, so La Verne and a few other ladies who lived in this rural area somehow got together to play bridge. La Verne invited them to go to the Vista Woman's Club. Not long after that, the women decided that Bonsall should have its own woman's club.

Becoming Federated. At the first meeting, held at the old Bonsall Schoolhouse on January 16, 1980, twenty-two ladies gathered to form Bonsall Woman's Club and fill the various offices. The club was federated with the General Federation of Women's Club (GFWC) and the California Federation of Women's Club (CFWC) on February 15, 1980, making it a member of the largest and most effective international organization of women in the world that promotes education, civic, welfare and social work.
