Lake Gaston Ladies Club is a non-profit social club for women who either own and/or reside in an established Lake Gaston subdivision or individual property on the lake. Its mission is to provide friendship and support to its members and to participate in outreach programs designed to help those in our community.

​

The club was started in 1976 when few people lived on Lake Gaston, the subdivisions were widely scattered, and it was difficult for newcomers to meet one another. A handful of ladies started gathering in each other's homes to share a dish for lunch. As the lake population increased, participation in the group grew rapidly. The secret was out. In 1978, Lake Gaston Ladies Club "LGLC" was formally organized. From our meager beginning, we have blossomed into a very active social club.

​

We are a unique organization, encompassing two states (NC and VA) and five counties (Northampton, Warren, Halifax, Brunswick, and Mecklenburg). With more than 500 members in LGLC, there is no other club quite like us in the USA.

​

LGLC has a 14 member Board of Directors, 11 Standing Committees, and 19 Activity Groups, ranging from card games, board game groups to singing, cooking, needlework, dancing, gardening, to outdoor activity groups, as well as others. You can find a group for anything you love to do. We publish a yearly membership directory and a monthly newsletter called Shorelines.

 

Our monthly meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month, September through May. In June, we have an ice cream social. Our meetings /luncheons offer a wonderful opportunity to renew old friendships and establish new ones. Our programs are both informative and entertaining.

​

The club has donated thousands of dollars to local nonprofits, food banks, schools, nursing homes, shelters and others. Members and their families can apply for the Linda Fitts Scholarship to help pay for college. LGLC has made an amazing difference in the lives of many in our communities.

 

We would love for you to join our "family" in making a difference in the lives of one person at a time. Come and share the joy and friendship that LGLC has to offer!​
