Valdosta Junior Woman's Club

Each year, the VJWC participates in Valdosta's Relay for Life event. This year, almost $1,000 was raised by the club to help research for cancer. The theme of this year's Relay was superheros... so appropriately, our personal campsite theme was Wonderwoman! Special t-shirts were made for us all, and special focus was made to the women in our lives who have been effected by cancer.

All work and no play may make Jack a dull boy, but it also makes the VJWC drag down. In April, we relaxed and had fun with our 1st Unfinished Craft Night Social! Everyone brought crafts they'd be wanting to work on (spring wreaths, jewerly, wedding albums) and talked all night long!

Each year, member of the VJWC volunteer to provide refreshments for the annual Youth Arts Month reception held at the Annette Turner Howell Arts Center. Youth Arts Month highlights artwork from children in the Valdosta-Lowndes community.

In January, members of the 2011 Board were inducted. Back Row (L-R): Tracey Cobb, Sara Rohrbach, Christine Nash, Lu Williams, Lisa Day. Front Row (L-R): Betsy Coleman-Hamilton, Jennifer Stalvey, Kelly Williams, Natalie Kennedy.

Each year, the VJWC provides a holiday party for residents of the Ashley House in downtown Valdosta. Dinner is provided, residents are given gifts, and everyone participates in singing Christmas music!

With all of our fall projects, the ladies of VJWC needed some well-deserved down time! They drove up to Horsecreek Winery, and had a wonderful social drinking wine and snacking on appetizer-type food. The weather was perfect, but the company was better!!

Each year, the VJWC adopts a family in Valdosta. In 2010, members decided to purchase items for a classroom of children who attend Pinegrove Elementary School, who might otherwise not receive much for the holidays.

Members of the VJWC volunteered their time at the community soup kitchen in downtown Valdosta. Together with other volunteers from area agencies, 150-200 people in our community were fed.

A portion of proceeds from the 2nd annual golf tournament went to the Cancer Rehab program at SGMC. The Cancer Rehab program provides services to cancer survivors in our Valdosta community through exercise, education, and support.
