MISSION STATEMENT
President’s Message. —
Welcome to 2026 - where we celebrate not only 250 years of independence of America, but the beginning of our 45th year as the GFWC
- Temecula Valley Woman’s Club (non-profit 501(c)(3)). We are a group of ladies who, with unity and passion, have formed a powerful, purpose-driven enthusiasm toward a shared, collective mission in supporting our Temecula Valley communities. We have connections that go beyond the surface as we dedicate ourselves through volunteerism and donate to higher education. We not only broaden our minds and interests but connect our skills to the communities and world needs. Sometimes we must take baby steps, but in the end, we do make a difference.
Please continue to peruse this website as it outlines our projects (past and present) and the six (6) committees - Advocate for Children; Arts and Culture; Civic Engagement and Outreach, Education and Libraries; Environment; and, Health and Wellness. So follow us on our journey (which you will find on Facebook and Instagram). We hope, if you’re interested in sharing your talents and have a curiosity for taking consistent steps to build competence and meaning and enjoy some challenges as well as social events to bring us together, that you will contact us at infotvwc@gmail.com.
Appreciatively,
Pat Nelson

1st Vice President / Dean of Chairs
Marva Murray
Marva has always been a native of Southern California, and lived a great deal of her life in El Segundo. She attended CSU, Long Beach, where she received her education degree in Multiple Subjects/Liberal Arts and continued on to attain her teaching credential. She later completed her Masters in The Art of Education from National University. After receiving her credential, Marva returned to her beloved El Segundo, and was a dedicated elementary teacher for over thirty years. She taught first grade, Kindergarten, and ended her career teaching Transitional Kindergarten.
In her younger years, Marva was extremely devoted to our federation through our Junior division. She was a club president, and went on to be
Area C Marina District Junior President for two years. In 2018, when she and her husband retired and moved to Murrieta, Marva knew exactly where to go to find great new friends that work together for the good of our communities. Joining TVWC has been very fulfilling, and she has been Advocates for Children Committee Chair, (2 years), Second Vice-President/Membership (2 years), and is currently First Vice-President/Dean of Chairs.

Treasurer
Patti Castillo
I joined the Temecula Valley Woman’s Club after retiring in 2019. Before that, I was a Capital Projects Project Manager. I'm married to Hector, and we have three college-aged children. I served as PR & Communications chair for three years, prepared the club newsletter for two years, and am currently club Treasurer. My favorite role is Scholarship chair, which I've held for the past three years.
I joined TVWC to meet new people, volunteer, and give back to the community. Despite having no prior experience in any position, volunteering and taking on new roles was the best decision I made. I met more club members, connected with the community, learned new skills, and contributed positively. Truly, you get out what you put in – energy, effort, and attitude all come back to you.
