The Monday Night Speaker Series is held at the Carroll Center for the Blind in Newton. The lectures are typically the first Monday of the month, October to May, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. The Newton Women's Forum provides a delicious dinner and wine, followed by a 45-minute speaker at no cost to members.

Non-members are welcome to attend at a cost of $35 per evening. Guests who join within 30 days of attending can apply the $35 fee to their annual membership dues.

If you would like to attend as a guest, please RSVP by the Thursday before the speaker series event by emailing us at newtonwomensforum@gmail.com.
