The Morningside Woman’s Club (MWC) was founded in 1937. Membership is open to women of all neighborhoods. MWC members value the small town feeling and closeness of the neighborhoods and the opportunity to be a part of a multi-generational club of women.
Monthly meetings are held September through May in the Fellowship Hall of the Morningside Hills UCC at 4201 Morningside Road, Edina, MN. Lunch is shared, followed by an informative and entertaining program. Childcare is available. Each year there are two or three evening meetings in place of lunchtime meetings.
Newsletters are sent to all members about three times a year, in the beginning of the fall, winter, and spring months. Watch your email inbox for these updates which will include program information, member updates, and other important details.
A variety of special interest “sections” operate under the umbrella of MWC, including book clubs, bridge, French, wellness, and knitting. All members are welcome to join a group and encouraged to participate. The sections provide a great opportunity to get to know other club members and to share and learn about a common interest.
Join us in supporting women in need by contributing to our collection of feminine hygiene products during the February meeting. Prefer a cash donation? We've got you covered - we can purchase the products on your behalf.
Both hygiene product and cash donation boxes will be located near the registration table. Paper bags with handles will also be collected.

We will be welcoming back MWC Member and Film Critic Megan Feeney to take us through her critique of the 2026 Oscar Nominations and must-see movies. Our luncheon takes place before the Awards Show this year. We encourage you to watch as many of the “Best Picture” nominations as you can, but if you can only watch one, check out Hamnet to be able to participate in a fun discussion at our MWC luncheon on March 9th. More information can be found under the General Meetings Program or by clicking here.
The Morningside Woman’s Club has a long tradition of offering scholarships to Edina High School graduating seniors. A portion of our yearly dues are allocated to fund our scholarship awards. In addition, we hold fundraising events to add to our total giving potential. In recent years, our annual holiday boutique has blossomed into a thriving Holiday Market. With over 50 local artisan vendors, our event is known as the best “pop-up” boutique in town.
Each year, MWC offers college scholarships to students residing in the Morningside neighborhood who are graduating from Edina High School. Eligible students submit applications through the high school and are approved by the appointed EHS scholarship committee.
In May 2026, the Morningside Woman’s Club presented five seniors with a $2,000 scholarship each to further their education after graduating.
Our 2026 Scholarship Recipients:
Anna Bennett, attending the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
McKenna Cossack, attending the University of Maryland
Zach Johnson, attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison
Colette King, attending the University of California-Santa Barbara
Anna Samuel, attending Vanderbilt University
Each year, the City of Edina Hosts an awards ceremony to honor exceptional volunteers in our community. The Morningside Woman’s Club has celebrated members of our club beginning in 2008.
