16. This Club is my Club, This Club is our Club
Sung To The Tune of This Land Is My Land
This Club is my Club, This Club is our Club
We serve our city, we work together
We bond in friendship and we show our spirit
This Club was made for you and me.
Yes, we're united, and we don't hide it
We do our best to get involved
We have fundraisers and by the way
We reach our goals. We're here to stay.
So if you "d" like to share our spirit
And have some fun while doing good
Come join our friendly group of women
Our Club is the best in the neighborhood.
Yes, this Club is our Club and could be your Club
So won't you come....and you will see
That the Fountain Valley Woman's Club is great
This Club was made for you and me!

17. Oh we're here for our lunch and our meeting
Sung To the Tune of "Side by Side“
Oh we're here for our lunch and our meeting
So let's start with a smile and a greeting
United in friendship, we will all work together
Side by Side
We have fun, making friends, in all weather
As long as we do it together.
We are friends, thru it all, old and young, short and tall
Side by side
Our club is truly special, we work but we have a ball
Just as long as we're together it doesn't matter at all
If you think that you'd like to be part of
A club that you want to be proud of
Fountain Valley Woman's Club is the one you think of
