The Spirit of the South Windsor
Junior Women's Club
Have you ever found yourself wishing for
something that was all your own - a creative,
social outlet that wasn't tied to your kids or your
job? Do you often feel like you have something to
contribute to the community but aren't sure how
or where to get started? Or perhaps you've heard
your friends or neighbors speak of Junior
Women's but haven't really understood what the
club is all about.
The South Windsor Junior Women's Club
(SWJWC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable
organization, which means that our activities are
directed toward philanthropic outreach and giving
in South Windsor and other local communities.
As a member of the SWJWC, you will be part of a
highly respected community service organization.
The SWJWC is supervised by an Executive Board
which meets on a monthly basis. The club is
divided into several distinct committees, each of
which is responsible for different aspects of club
activities, including:






Education
Conservation
Arts
Families and Children
Health and Safety
Ways and Means (Fundraising)
And best of all - during the process of participating
in SWJWC meetings, committees and events/
activities (see "SWJWC Highlights" below), you
have the potential to create lasting friendships
with talented and enthusiastic women from all
types of lifestyles and backgrounds.
Connecticut Junior Women’s Club
The South Windsor Junior Women's Club
is a member of a statewide organization,
Connecticut Junior Women, Inc. (CJW).
CJW is comprised of more than 50 clubs
from cities and towns across Connecticut.
Collectively, we have joined forces to
combine our talents and fundraising
efforts in support of a common state
project, "Covenant to Care”.
The misson of “Covenant to Care” is to
mobilize and channel the generosity of
caring and faithful people to advocate
for, mentor and provide direct assistance
to Connecticut’s children and youth who
are neglected, abused or at-risk.
While this is only one of many causes that
we support, we are proud to know that
in some small way, we are working to
make a difference.
ELIGIBILITY
The SWJWC welcomes new members throughout
the year, and is open to any woman over the age
of 18 who is interested in promoting personal and
community growth.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The emphasis of our organization is on
community service through fun and friendship.
Each member is offered many opportunities to
participate in club programs and service activities.
While we encourage you to participate on any
committees or projects that draw upon your
individual area of interest and/or expertise, your
degree of participation should fit comfortably into
your lifestyle - we don't want anyone to feel
pressured or burdened to participate in any way.
MEETINGS
Meetings are generally held at 7:00 p.m. on the
third Tuesday of each month at The Village at
Buckland Courts on Buckland Road in South
Windsor.
DUES
Annual dues are $30.00 per fiscal year, with our
fiscal year running from June 1 through May 31.
New members are welcome at any time of the
year.
