We are grateful to the community and vendors for their continued support for this important Avon Club tradition.

Evening in Wonderland

The Evening in Wonderland Gala, held on September 7th at the Shannopin Country Cub, was a joyous night of merriment and enchantment. Our 2024 Fundraising Event was greatly successful to support our 2025 philinthropic programs, including Scholarships and Grants.

Civic Service – Flower Beds

The Avon Club Civic Service maintains two flower beds along Ohio River and two flower urns in front of the Ben Avon Borough Hall. In the years when we host the Holiday House tour, the committee decorates the street poles along the tour route and provides greenery to the House Tour homeowners.

May is our busiest month to prepare the flower beds for the summer season — weed, clear trash, prune existing plants, add new plants and lay over 60 cubic feet of mulch. The Committee wishes to thank the volunteers who contributed to our May activities to make our community beautiful!
