CFUW Guelph was founded in 1945. Currently we have ~ 180 members with a range of educational, vocational and professional experience. Although most of our members live in Guelph, our club also attracts women from other parts of Wellington County. Our members range in age from mid-20s to their 90s. Each year our club is reinvigorated by new members but we also celebrate the fact that some women have been members for over thirty years.
