In 1975, a distinctive group of professional women shared with each other their efforts, time, and energies in volunteer involvement. As individual small efforts became known to others, the seeds of their collective efforts were sown. Eventually, it was realized that more community service could be rendered if efforts were combined into a single volunteer service group. The result was the SEAVU Service Club, composed of the original service group plus other dedicated women from the community.

To be effective in a large suburban community, they decided to target work in sections of the community demonstrating the greatest need. The women represented a wide variety of professional backgrounds and involvements; thus, they were very successful in expanding and manifesting community services of all types and kinds to those in need.

On May 25, 1985, the Beverly Hills West Chapter became a new link in the historic chain of dedicated women to friendship and service in The Links, Incorporated.
