Would you want to know if you had a terminal illness?
In The Farewell, a Chinese family hides their grandmother's cancer diagnosis, believing it’s kinder to protect her from the truth.
Caught between cultures, Billi — a Chinese American — struggles with the family’s decision.

This film powerfully explores love, loss, and the clash between Eastern and Western values.

Dozens of Americans are wrongfully detained around the world — held without cause in foreign prisons, often with little effort made to bring them home.

The James W. Foley Legacy Foundation, founded by Diane Foley, is dedicated to advocating for the safe return of American hostages and wrongful detainees. Diane’s son, journalist James Foley, was kidnapped and killed by ISIS in 2014 while reporting in Syria. His legacy lives on through this powerful mission.

Diane Foley will speak about her son’s story and the foundation’s work to protect press freedom and fight for Americans held abroad. Don't miss this inspiring event!

Hunger Task Force Stockboxes for Seniors

On Wednesday, August 20, from 9 AM-12 PM, members of the Woman’s Club of Wisconsin worked the assembly line of Hunger Task Force and what a successful day we had! 640 Stock Boxes were packed for the vulnerable Seniors in Milwaukee County. 10 volunteers experienced a very satisfying day together with each other and 18-20 other volunteers.

This was so much fun and hard work! We look forward to our next volunteer day and hope more members can join us.

WCW started supporting Hunger Task Force in October of 2012. This was our 15th time assisting them. Thank you Mary Schnell for organizing this event and cultivating the relationship with Hunger Task Force. The Community Outreach Committee is always looking for new members and welcomes you to come join us at the monthly meeting.
