The best Halloween party in town will be held Saturday October 29 at the Coral Gables Woman’s Club in Coral Gables, all for a great cause, the club’s free children dental clinic.

The themed Halloween Haunted Mansion Party will be held at the club’s historic clubhouse at 1009 East Ponce de Leon Blvd. in Coral Gables. Celebrity DJ Germain (of TU 94.90) will rock the night away as partygoers at this 21 and up affair will enjoy dancing, great food, an open bar and costume contests with great prizes. Club fundraising chair Rita Tennyson is working with a hardworking committee to wow guests. Among those instrumental in planning the affair include Barbara Lapsley, Carmen Suarez, Marilyn Smit and Saesha Tennyson.

You can bet it will be a night of hilarity for all. Tickets are $100 per person with proceeds benefiting the Coral Gables Woman’s Club’s free children’s dental clinic that provides more than $200,000 in free dental care annually for children who fall between the cracks in our healthcare system.

The GFWC Coral Gables Woman’s Club (CGWC) is one of twelve woman’s clubs in South Florida’s Florida Federation of Women’s Club District 11, all of whom make a remarkable positive impact with their outreach to serve others. Women who want to serve, make new friends and have fun are welcome to join CGWC or any of the District 11 clubs. Coral Gables Woman’s Club is comprised of women of all ages who live all over Miami Dade and beyond. Club President Ruth Martinez is working with her board as the club’s centennial celebrations will make 2023 a very special year.

CGWC owns its beautiful historic clubhouse, much like CocoPlum, Coconut Grove and Miami Springs, and also owns and operates the club’s free children’s dental clinic adjacent to their building. The club recently held a fundraiser for Camp Boggy Creek in their clubhouse featuring the Frost School of Music Jazz Sextet with Doctoral student in Jazz Vocal, Bailey Grogan; 1st year Masters student Bass, Patrick Leavy; 2nd year Master student, Jazz trumpet, Jason Charos; Masters student Max Marsil, Drums; 1st Year Masters student Connor Rohrer, Keyboard; College Senior, Trombone, Sam Keedy; College Senior, Jazz Jax, Dylan McHann, and Icy from China getting Masters in Production.
