It's A Volunteer Thing

 

 

 

The Munster Junior Woman's Club of Munster, Indiana, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  We are a group of women whose goal is to raise funds for other 501(c)(3) organizations and to serve our local community.  We meet monthly during the school year to plan and organize fundraisers.  Our meetings are held in members' homes.  We also volunteer when the community has an immediate need and on a regular basis.  We sometimes take up collections for those in need.

 

We are a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs and the Indiana Federation of Clubs.

A majority of our members live in Munster, however that is not a requirement to be a member of the club.  We average 20 members at any given time.  We have an executive board of five.  Those include:

        President:                            Dianne Kowalski
