The Cambridge Branch of the RWTO meets four times a year at the Galt Country Club on Coronation Blvd. in Cambridge.
The Branch supports two charities, The Bridge Shelter for the homeless and Haven House Women’s Crisis Services, through financial donations as well as the collection of health care products, magazines, books, winter hats, socks and mitts.
All retired women teachers are welcome to join us.
