It took 108 years, but the Men’s Club of Bay Ridge is finally getting a feminine touch.

The Brooklyn civic club isn’t changing its name, but it has agreed to create a women’s chapter.

“They need women because they know we do all the work,” joked Mary Bocchino, one of the six inaugural women.

The club decided to create the women’s chapter while recruiting the local Knights of Columbus St. Christopher Council Ladies Auxiliary to assist in fund-raising for the Guild for Exceptional Children, a group assisting children who are developmentally disabled.
