ABOUT
The Bethlehem Business Women's Club was chartered in 1951 as The Bethlehem Business and Professional Women's Club and was a member of the New York State Federation of Business and Professional Women.
The original purpose of the club was to create a place where area business women could gather to further their special interests and as a group, participate in community activities. Club functions were formal at first. Members often attended meetings, teas, and special events attired in hats and white gloves.
In 1960 the club separated from the Federation feeling that club monies would be better spent within the local community. The name of the club was then changed to Bethlehem Business Women's Club (BBW).
Today's far more informal BBW is comprised of local area women of all ages with diverse interests. The club's primary fundraising goal is to provide significant scholarships to graduating seniors who reside in the Town of Bethlehem and have shown both academic achievement and community service during their high school years.
