Today the Anchorage Woman’s Club offers many programs to enhance and build literacy in our community. They provide money to the Adult Literacy partnership program, award four two thousand dollar scholarships to students in local high schools, and offer three New Beginnings scholarships to provide a second chance for individuals seeking training, from beauty schools to computer education. They also make available two First Lady Scholarships which provide two thousand dollar scholarships to students across the state. As part of the Woman’s Club National goal of providing twelve million dollars for the purchase of books and multi-media material to local schools, the Anchorage chapter has purchased over 8,000 dollars worth of material for the Anchorage School System since 1998. It was instrumental in saving and preserving the original Pioneer school house. Every year, during the month of April, the club staffs the Pioneer school house with personnel and invite students in the Anchorage school system to experience what school was like in 1915 Anchorage.
