Woman’s Board

The Woman’s Board was formed in 1976 by an enterprising group of women to support the entity they considered vital to the unique quality of their community. Their children had spent Saturday afternoons playing ball in the gym of WCH, watched movies in Matz Hall on Friday evenings and congregated during after-school hours at the bowling alley. Bridge groups, armchair travel lectures and theatre offerings all found a home through the years at the Gothic-style building located at Pine Street and Lincoln in Winnetka.

Winnetka Community House receives no tax dollar support. Eighty-five percent of the funds raised by the Woman’s Board go directly to the operating budget of the Community House, with the remainder earmarked for special projects and needs. These funds, along with generous and ongoing support from local businesses and residents, have helped to grow and sustain Winnetka Community House—one of the only institutions of its kind in the United States.

Our members are a multigenerational group of women, working together to support and promote Winnetka Community House. We work in a team environment with many opportunities for individual contributions. Members of the Woman’s Board are unofficial “ambassadors” for Winnetka Community House. Members are encouraged to attend and participate in events sponsored by the Woman’s Board, such as the Antiques + Modernism Winnetka Preview Party and other member social events and to volunteer when possible as additional “womanpower” is needed.

The Art of Bellydance

Women have been practicing the art of ‘Danse Orientale’ for thousands of years, orginating out of a practical need to build strenth and assist in easy delivery for childbirth.

This beginning class will focus on teaching the overall basic foundational movements of Bellydance, where every muscle group is isolated to give exciting emphasis and musicality to the movement. A hip scarf is recommended. Students will build each week with the dance technique and complete each class with fun, short routines incorporating the new moves taught each week.

Whether you want to lose weight, regain flexibility, develop speed or simply feel good again, personal training is an activity that you will continue to reap benefits in years to come.

Our personal trainers’ main objectives are to assist, guide and educate those who wish to experience a greater ease and physical ability in their lives.
