WELCOME TO THE WOMEN’S CIVIC LEAGUE OF PORTAGE, INC.
PRESERVING OUR HERITAGE ~ FOSTERING COMMUNITY WELFARE
Since 1931, women in and around Portage, Wisconsin, have met regularly to combine their common interests, to support community causes, and simultaneously worked to preserve a part of our area history – the Zona Gale home on the Wisconsin River.
Established at a time when it was unusual for women to be progressive, the Women’s Civic League was nurtured through the Depression years, the fifties, and the latter half of the twentieth century. Today it remains an active viable organization in the new millennium! Has it changed over the years? Of course. To remain solid, any group needs to grow with the times and meet new challenges.
Please explore the tabs above to learn about us; our original benefactor, the author Zona Gale; the various renovations and restoration projects that have occurred at the Civic League House and more.
If you are a woman living in or around Portage, we invite you to join the Women’s Civic League. Visit us for one of our monthly luncheons and an interesting program to learn more about us. Our calendar will show you what is scheduled.
We hope to meet you soon!
