The Carrizozo Woman�s Club, founded in 1920, is a community service organization open to all women who enjoy volunteering their time for worthy causes.� Woman�s Club meetings are held on the second Thursday of the month at 6 p.m. from September through May.� All women are welcome to attend!
The Woman�s Club building is an outstanding example of Pueblo Revival Architecture built of adobe.� The ceiling in the unique round room, which is completely free standing, contains viga logs in an intricate wagon wheel pattern.� Built in 1929 by the WPA, the building is one of the showplaces in Carrizozo and is included on the State and Federal Registers of historic buildings.�
��������� The Club sponsors special Community Improvement Projects, some of which take several years of effort to complete.� In 1980, Casa Manana, �the low income senior citizens apartments across the street from the Woman�s Club, was finished.� The complex was one of five nationally recognized projects.� In 2005, the Happy World Playground Project in Spencer Park was begun; Phase I was installed in 2007.
