The Community Club of Garden City & Hempstead, Inc. was organized in 1919 at the instance of the National League for Women’s Service in order to perpetuate the community spirit created by their wartime activities. The club’s mission was to bring together those who desired to share in a wide variety of cultural, educational, creative and philanthropic activities in a social and congenial environment. The club presently has the following departments: Americanism/Current Events; Art; Community Service; Drama/Literature; Garden; and General Program. Members are offered art classes, tours, a Friendship Luncheon, and a fund raising Mid-Winter Bridge game. Volunteer members create holiday floral arrangements for local memorials, Garden City & Hempstead Libraries, Village Hall, and the Fire & Police Departments. There is a limit to 1,200 members.
