Killington Women’s Club Renamed

Vermont Standard

After 53 years, the Sherburne Women’sClubwasrenamed the Greater killington Women’s Clubat its recent annual meeting. This was decided to broaden the club’s membership reach to include surrounding towns as well as seasonal residents. The new name may also better welcome visiting tourists to participate in the club’s various fundraising events.

The town of killington was originally chartered in 1761 but the name was changed to Sherburne in 1800 and then reverted back to the killington name in 1999. The club was seeking to betteralign with the current name of the community as well as to capitalize on the marketing efforts and name recognition of the killington resort.

Members also voted at the meeting to approve disbursements to support the following local organizations which benefit the community including the killington Aquatic Club, killingtonElementary School (Sunny Day Fund), and killington Active Seniors. In addition, the two annual $1,000 awards were approved for killington/Pittsfield graduates of Woodstock Union High School.

The Greater killington Women’s Club is a charitable organization whose focus is providing supporting fundraising efforts and a socializing network to nurture our local community. For more info go to: swcvt.com.
