Scarsdale, NY – The Junior League of Central Westchester (JLCW) invites women who live or work in Eastchester, Greenburgh, Scarsdale or White Plains to our semiannual prospective member information sessions on Wednesday, September 26 at 8:00 p.m. and Friday, September 28 at 9:30 a.m. at Wayside Cottage, 1039 Post Road, Scarsdale, NY.

Established in 1947, the JLCW is an organization of women committed to promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.  The JLCW welcomes all women who value our mission. We are committed to inclusive environments of diverse individuals, organizations, and communities.

At the information sessions, participants will learn about our diverse community projects, how our efforts improve the lives of neighbors in need, as well as the activities that support these initiatives, including fundraising and development, volunteer training and communications. We will discuss the wide range of events that the JLCW hosts throughout the year, including training seminars, roundtable discussions, community events, and fundraisers that are enjoyed with family and friends.

“Joining the JLCW provides opportunities for women who want to make an impact in their community in a meaningful way, foster lifelong friendships and form professional relationships with fellow members of the community,” said Sandra Katz, President of the JLCW. “It’s an exciting time to join the JLCW as we seek to grow our membership and expand our community impact.”

Women who are interested in joining will become provisional members and have the opportunity to work together to complete a short-term community service project. The Fall 2018 new member class will participate in a project that will benefit the local community and allow new members to get acquainted with JLCW members and each other. Women interested in learning more about the JLCW should RSVP to joinjlcw@gmail.com or call our office at (914) 723-6130 for further information.
