The Pacific Beach Woman’s Club (PBWC) was established in 1895 to enrich the lives of the women living in the Pacific Beach area of San Diego. Several women met at the home of Mrs.Rose Hartwick to establish the club rules and regulations. During the early years, the club participated in many philanthropic causes including rolling bandages and entertaining the troops, establishing the first public library in Pacific Beach.

Today, the members support various causes and are active in many civic and community events and activities. We host musical performances as well as other events in our 100 year old building, Hornblend Hall. The Hall, located at 1721 Hornblend Street in Pacific Beach, was build on land donated by several members in the early 1900’s and has served as a gathering place for the last 100 years.

Membership is open to women of all ages. Our current members range from young to old and we have several women who have been members for over 50 years.

We hold monthly business meetings and several social meetings during the year as well as host fundraisers to support the local charities we support financially.

The Pacific Beach Woman’s Club is a member of the California Federation of Women’s Clubs and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs and has been presented with several awards during its history.

We invite you to join us at one of our meetings and come see what we are all about!
