Club Celebrates 105 years

One hundred and five years ago the Poinsettia Club of Bluffton was founded by a group of women seeking friendship, laughter and an opportunity to do some good in the world. With the same goals in mind the Poinsettia Club is beginning its new season with a luncheon on Tuesday, April 15, 2025. Our motto from Madeline Bridges is “Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.”
