Lower Keys Women's Club
We love our members!

LKWC Membership Has Meaning

This is where being social, and doing great things for your community come together.

Our generous, fun-loving members come from up and down the Lower Keys and beyond! Most of our active members are either full-timers or snow-birds from Marathon all the way down to Key West. But, it doesn't stop there. It is common for out-of-towners to join us for a meeting and feel moved to become members too. We even have a special level of support called "Flamingos Afar" where you can join for a reduced annual membership fee and support our efforts no matter where in the world you reside!


Full-fledged Membership is only $25 per year and includes: 

Club voting privileges ~ Be a part of our legacy, and shape the future direction of the Club. Have a voice in Board member elections, sponsored charities and more. 

Communications ~ You will get personal invitations to meetings, quarterly newsletters, and early-bird sign up opportunities to Club sponsored events!

Member Directory ~ One of the biggest benefits of being a Member is the friendships you will forge. To help foster this, you will have password protected access to member contacts. 

Flamingos Afar Membership

We believe what we do is important, and has real impact on our Keys Community. That is why beginning in 2025 we are opening up a new level of membership to the world at-large. If you also believe what we do is important, we invite you to be a special part of our mission as a "Flamingo Afar". 

For a modest $20 per year you will receive a physical token of your support and membership, a letter of thanks for your generosity, and a quarterly Flamingos Afar newsletter so you can see all the good the Lower Keys Women's Club is doing throughout our Keys Community. 

100% of the proceeds from the Flamingos Afar program will go directly to our College of the Florida Keys Nursing Scholarship Endowment. Since 1967 the Lower Keys Women's Club has provided nursing scholarships to the local college, and finally in 2025 we accomplished a major milestone by putting our scholarship funds into an endowment fund. Now after nearly 60 years, even if the future of the Club is unsure, the future of our scholarships are not. They will continue on in perpetuity thanks to the hard work and generosity of our Members and our Community at large. By growing our endowment fund, we will be able to increase the dollar amounts and number of scholarships offered to aspiring nurses in the Florida Keys. 

We'd love you to join us!
