The Saturday Afternoon Club
Founded in July 1894, the Saturday Afternoon Club of Santa Rosa was inspired by Mrs. Martin J. Cochrane after visiting the Santa Barbara Women’s Club. Six local women founded what is now one of the oldest continuously operating women’s clubs in the United States.

The Club
The Saturday Afternoon Club is more than a wonderful venue to hold events, it is one of the oldest continuously-operating women's clubs in the US, where you can meet new friends and build lifelong relationships. By becoming involved in the various programs, committees, and participating on our board, members have an opportunity to continue their growth and education in human relations and personal development. The Saturday Afternoon Club is mission driven and dedicated to community service, charitable giving, education enrichment, and social opportunities.
In the years since its inception, the women of the Saturday Afternoon Club have focused on a variety of projects to improve our community. They were instrumental in the organization of a Juvenile Court. During World War I when Santa Rosa was overwhelmed with casualties of the flu epidemic of 1918, the women opened their clubhouse for care of the sick. The Saturday Afternoon Club continues to meet at their original clubhouse at 430 10th Street. While they raise funds for scholarships and other worthy local causes, they also continue to advocate for projects to improve our town and acknowledge our history.
