President’s Letter

A Message from the President

Dear Members,

Welcome to the 2026-2027 calendar year of the Hopkinton Women’s Club. It is truly an honor to serve as your President for the next two years and follow in the footsteps of some extraordinary women.

I joined the HWC after retiring from Hopkinton High School. For many years, I was aware of the Scholarships, Endeavour Awards and McDonough Community Service Award associated with the Women’s Club. However, I quickly learned of the depth of service the club provides to this community. For example, our partnerships with organizations such as Youth and Family Services, the Hopkinton Food Bank, Project Just Because, and Baypath Humane Society, to name a few, offer assistance to individuals and families in need.

Our Fundraising activities enable us to continue to provide these services. This past year included Pizza Night, PolyArts sales, our marathon runner, Bryan Kerman, and our largest fundraiser, the Charity Golf Tournament, now in its 5th year!

Our Program Committee works to bring us interesting and informative programs each month. Publicity gets the word out regarding our events and our Social Media presence has certainly grown! Monthly social events have taken us on adventures along the Freedom Trail, the Heritage Museum and the Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory .

Thank you for being part of this dynamic community. Your dedication and continued commitment is what makes this organization so impactful.

Sincerely,

Jo Ann Thompson
HWC President 2026-2027
