SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) – With the Woman’s Department Club approaching 100 years old, a fashion show and garden party luncheon are being held to raise funds for the historic building.

On Sept. 26, the Woman’s Department Club (WDC) is hosting a ‘A Style for All Seasons Fashion Show & Garden Party Luncheon’ with The Enchanted Garden at the WDC building, 802 Margaret Place, Shreveport.

The fundraising event is being held to assist with the upkeep of the historic WDC building. The WDC club is approaching its 100th year in 2025. WDC theatre was built in 1925 and hosts concerts, performances, weddings, conferences, events, and meetings.
