Instead, members are happy to have anyone who is interested join. Klass said the club has about 40 active members and about 100 total. It is increasingly hard to attract women, who are busy balancing jobs, family and personal lives. Club meetings are held twice a month during the day. That limits most active members to retirees or older women who don't work outside the home.
Women nowadays have to have a job.
It's hard now to get younger members. Either they are working or they are home with young kids. The changes are felt by women's clubs nationwide. Klass said that many clubs have dropped in membership and that some have even lost their clubhouses. Patricia Kennedy, who served as club president from 1998 to 2000, said she believes the membership woes aren't limited to women's clubs.
