Professional Women's Club celebrates its 60th anniversary on May 28,

setting a goal of equity and economic self-sufficiency for women by 
elevating standards, promoting their interests and bringing about a 
spirit of cooperation among business and professional women in 
Quakertown.
   Club members provide support for local organizations: St. Luke's 
Hospital, Children's Developmental Center, Quakertown Community Day, 
Quakertown Alive, YMCA and A Women's Place.
   Also, they proudly participate in the March of Dimes Walk, American 
Cancer Society, Relay for Life, Quakertown Cares, Quakertown Food 
Pantry, and the Sarah Parvin Soccer Fest.
   The club annually awards two $1,000 scholarships to graduating 
seniors at Quakertown Community High School.
   Congratulations to the Quakertown Business and Professional Women's 
Club for inspiring women to achieve their personal goals and contribute 
to the greater community.
