📅 Calendar & Events

A Club-Hosted Gathering is an event organized and sponsored by the Club for its members. For example, our regular monthly gathering, held on the second Tuesday of each month, is a Club-Hosted Gathering. Club-sponsored fundraising events also fall into this category.

A Member-Hosted Event is an event organized by an individual Club member who wishes to use the clubhouse for a private, business, or public function.

All members have the opportunity to host events in the ground-floor space of our historic clubhouse. To help support the ongoing maintenance and preservation of the building, we request a donation of $75 per hour, with a four-hour minimum.

All Member-Hosted Events must be submitted to the Club’s Booking Team for review and approval before they can be confirmed.

Our BOOKING TEAM: Christina Hardman O’Neal and Jami Josephson Chace oversee clubhouse space requests for member-hosted events by reviewing the request, communicating with requestors, approving reservations, and issuing donation invoices to confirm bookings.

The Communal portal helps the Woman’s Club of Red Bank manage memberships, events, donations, and clubhouse reservations. Through the portal, members can register for club-hosted programs, RSVP for events, and make payments when required.

The system also manages clubhouse space reservation requests and limits access to active members. In addition, the Donation feature allows supporters to contribute to the Club’s general fund or specific fundraising campaigns.

As a nonprofit organization run entirely by volunteers, the Communal portal helps streamline administrative and financial processes, allowing us to operate more efficiently and better serve our members and community.
