In 1931, the Woman's Club of Fort Worth became the first in Texas with its own radio show on KFJZ, which was owned by Margaret Meacham, a prominent club member. The same year, the club assumed management of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, holding concerts in the Central High School auditorium; operations were handed back to the symphony's board in 1938. In 1932, the club started its Texas Library, which today holds a respected collection of rare books and Texana. The Texas Federation of Women's Clubs also used the Newby building as their headquarters until their own building was completed in Austin in 1933. The Woman's Club played an active role in the 1936 Frontier Centennial, Fort Worth's celebration of the Texas centennial, operating a Texas history speakers bureau and a small history museum on the event grounds. They also organized a Texas Centennial scrapbook project and a program to place Texas history books in local school libraries. Notable speakers at the club during the 1930s through 1950s include Gertrude Stein, Ogden Nash, Grant Wood, John Erskine, Robert St. John, and Alan Mowbray. During this period, the club supported many local children's and medical charities, Red Cross, Fort Worth Public Library, and provided free music and art lessons to children. In 1970, the club's original charter was updated to comply with tax laws for non-profit organizations; this included the removal of the clause limiting membership to white women and creation of plans for distribution of assets in the event of the organization's dissolution. In 1993, the club established a historic preservation trust to care for the buildings and grounds.
