TODAY,
A modern Round Table Clubhouse is now located at 901 N. Bradford
Ave. in Placentia. The Clubhouse also serves as an important rental
venue in the city for other clubs and individuals to hold special
events.
The
purpose of the Round Table has also changed. Today's Round Table is a
nonprofit philanthropic organization whose main focus is on service to
the community. The club sponsors three main fundraising events
each year. Beginning in October, the club sells soup packages. After
Thanksgiving, the Club has its annual holiday luncheon and Festival of
Trees. Winners of the event's raffle receive one of the many beautifully
decorated trees displayed at the luncheon. In the spring we have fun
at the Hop to It Bunco Bash!
Some local groups that receive gifts, money, or grants from
these fundraisers are Christmas Clearing Bureau (which we founded);
Boys and Girls Club; Homeless Intervention Shelter (H.I.S. House), and
The Women's Transitional Center. In addition, the Placentia Round Table
supports other community organizations such as the library, local fire
and police departments, the Chamber of Commerce, and Founders Society
with grants, equipment, and volunteer hours. We also have a jackets and
shoes program which donates items to needy children. Many scholarships
are given to local high school students.
Some
of the money raised is given to other service organizations such as the
Red Cross, Veterans, Canine Companions, Salvation Army, MADD, Ronald
McDonald House, to name just a few.
The
Placentia Round Table Women's Club is affiliated with the worldwide
Federation of Women's Clubs as well as the California and Orange
District organization.
