Founded in the fall of 1920, the Poinsettia Club is the second oldest continuously meeting women’s group in Bluffton. its motto is a quote from Madeline Briggs–“Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.”

The club meets on the third Tuesday of each month–April through November–to share lunch, some laughs, a few brain teaser quizzes and at times a presentation by a local organization.

The Poinsettia Club does philanthropic work by contributing to local organizations or a family in need. In the past, its members have helped groups like the Bluffton Food Pantry, Findlay’s Hope House, The City Mission and the Women’s Resource Center. Recently it helped a family hosting Ukrainian refugees.

Club officers for 2023 are President Connie Walter; Vice President Ann Welch; Secretary/Treasurer Fairy Parkins; and Assistant Secretary/Treasurer, Jenny Pilarowski.

New members are always welcome. The Club's next meeting is Tuesday, May 16 at 11:30 a.m. If you would like to join in the fun, please call Fairy Parkins at 419-957-7371 for details about the May meeting.
