About Us

Background

Established in 1969, the Beavercreek Women’s League (BWL) is a civic organization that supports families, women, and their communities, which is represented by their three-hearted emblem. BWL is open to the all and strives to promote worthwhile community projects, provide mental stimulation through study, develop friendships, and encourage a spirit of helpfulness. Since the inception of BHS and WiT scholarships we have awarded over $250,000 through its annual Scholarship Luncheon.

Purpose

The purpose of the Beavercreek Women’s League is:

· To serve the Beavercreek Community by promoting worthwhile projects 

· To provide mental stimulation and development through study 

· To encourage a spirit of helpfulness and promote friendship and diversity

Additional Information

The BWL meets monthly September through May in the Fellowship Hall of Peace Lutheran Church, located at 3530 Dayton-Xenia Road in Beavercreek. 


Visitors and guests are warmly welcome. Please drop in and see who we are and what we do. Coffee and social time begins at 11:30 a.m., the business meeting at noon, followed by the program. The October Candidates and Issues Forum generally has a specific location and time that differs from our regular meetings.  Please check our EVENTS tab for this information. 


The BWL is a nonpartisan organization, and does not endorse, support, or otherwise promote any candidate for office. The BWL may endorse nonpolitical issues upon approval of the Board and membership. BWL is composed of about 180 people of all ages and backgrounds sharing their talents, interests, and experiences for the benefit of the organization, governed by a board of elected officers and appointed committee chairpersons who meet monthly to plan programs, projects, and prepare for the future meetings. Non-residents of Beavercreek are welcome to join.
