Att A - Unsung Hero Award 20251216
4 Unsung Hero for the Month of December 2025 December 16, 2025
GFWC Clayton Valley Woman's Club – December Unsung Hero In 1973, Eldora Hoyer and Emmy Joakimson were inspired to invite local women to join them at Endeavor Hall to form a woman's club. Thus, Clayton Valley Woman's Club was organized, and federated a year later. Emmy became the charter President and the first meetings were held at Endeavor Hall.
Members immediately made decisions on fundraising and the process for donating the proceeds from those events. They formed committees, Special Interest Groups and Adventure Groups. Those early years set the standards and precedents for the Club to follow and the Club's purpose was, and still is, service.
In the early years, they organized the first Christmas Home Tour and Craft and Bake Sale. They completed the Bi-Centennial Quilt which is on permanent loan to the City of Clayton that you see hanging in this room today. They published two cookbooks, organized fashion shows and held Art Auctions & Wine Tastings. They walked for the March of Dime, organized blood drive and several Black Diamond Balls, chili cook-offs, casino night and fashion shows.
Today, service is still their mission and every year, they offer a $2000 scholarship to a girl graduating from Diablo Valley College who is matriculating to a California university.
They also give donations to the Clayton Community Library, the Clayton and Concord Historical Societies, they collect donations for Pennies for Pines to support reforestation in our State, as well as collect for the Heifer Project which purchases chickens, cows and other animals for needy families. They also donate to a women's shelter, Silverwood School and several local food pantries.
For over 50 years, Clayton Valley Woman's Club has accomplished so much by giving to Clayton and beyond, and they are still going strong today, making friends and having fun and they always welcome new members. So I am deeply honored tonight to present the December Unsung Hero Award to Clayton Valley Women’s Club! 5 TO: CLAYTON CITY COUNCIL
