Our ever popular Monthly Luncheon & Business meetings are held during the third week of the month (usually on Tuesdays) from January - October and during the second week of the month during November - December.
There are also a host of varied, monthly activities and fun events which enable women of Estero and the surrounding areas to meet others with mutual interests. We welcome you to explore our wide array of activities and find the ones that most interest you. Most activities require registration which can be found in the Member Activity tab.

President’s Message
January 2026
Hello and Happy New Year to the ladies of the ENC!
As we say goodbye to 2025, I am pleased to share that the ENC remains strong and giving! Our membership numbers are stable at approximately 200, and our charitable giving also remains strong. I am excited that our charitable volunteering continues to grow as more and more of our ladies give their time to help those in need within our community. I am proud of who we are and what we represent. Thank you all for being part of such a vibrant and welcoming club!
Welcome to all of our new Board Members and Event Coordinators! Your contributions will be invaluable to the viability of the ENC!
Our ladies love to Lunch! Our Luncheon attendance has increased 34% in three years! We are excited to kick off our first luncheon and business meeting of 2026 at The Forest Country Club on Tuesday, January 20th. Our guest speaker for January is Steve Sarkozy, Manager of the Village of Estero. January also means we will be supporting another worthwhile charity. We are pleased to once again be supporting BelieveNBooks who provides underprivileged children with books to expand their horizons.
January will bring back some of our regular activities that were on hiatus during the holidays. For all you book lovers, don’t miss Book Talk with Jean Lewis on January 7th. Registration is required and open in the Member Activity Section of the Website. New for the ENC in 2026 is the ENC Book Club, which will be held every second Monday of the Month. Special thanks to Beth Zanardelli and Joan Pittman for hosting! Please check the website for all open Events!
As we begin 2026, let’s remember to be kind - to yourself and others. Let’s make this year our best!
