  Bellarmine Women's Council  

The Bellarmine Women’s Council is seeking new, energetic members to help carry on its traditions.

The Bellarmine Women’s Council is a service organization, founded in 1963, to support Bellarmine University in many of its activities and projects.  We have:

  • Two general meetings per year.
  • Dues $20 per year.
  • Major fundraiser:

                 Designers’ Show House – proceeds donated to the Student Financial Aid Fund

                     The Designers’ Show House is a 35-year tradition.

                     Women’s Council members plan the event and staff the house along with
                      friends, university staff and administrators.

                      It has featured some of the most interesting, historic homes in the
                      Louisville area, decorated by the area’s finest interior and landscape
                      designers.

                      Designers and businesses contribute their time, talent, resources and
                      services to the Show House. 

  • Annual Retreat during Lent.
  • Published a Designers’ Show House Cookbook in 1996.

                      This cookbook contained a collection of recipes of Bellarmine Women’s
                      Council members, designers, caterers and friends of Bellarmine.

                      Proceeds from the sale of the book benefitted the Bellarmine Student
                      Financial Aid Fund.
