Rochester Junior Woman’s Club had a Busy Year!

Rochester, Michigan
July 31, 2011

The Rochester Junior Woman’s Club has had a busy year! From September to June they donated more than $24,000.00 to charitable organizations, provided countless hours of hands-on volunteer hours, and had a little fun as well!

Their year kicked off in early September, when they participated in the Art and Apples festival where their signature Apple Blossoms and Fresh Squeezed Lemonade raised funds for the Paint Creek Center for the Arts. Then on September 25^th they held their annual Lobster Boil where they sold more than 1300 lobsters and raised funds for Blessings in a Backpack, Rochester PTA Council’s Rachel’s Challenge Program and the Stoney Creek Schoolhouse Interpretation at the Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm and the OPC. The end of the year brought their annual Christmas Auction which raised funds for Rochester Area Neighborhood House.

The members kicked off the New Year with their annual Card Party in February which raised funds for Crittenton Hospital’s Camisole Program. This was followed in March when they hosted their annual Ladies Luncheon and Shopping Boutique at the Royal Park Hotel, raising additional funds for the Blessings in a Backpack, Rochester PTA Council’s Rachel’s Challenge Program and the Stoney Creek Schoolhouse Interpretation at the Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm. In May, they presented two scholarships to area high school students through the Community Foundation of Greater Rochester. And, in June they finished their year by participating in the Rochester Relay for Life where they raised funds for the American Cancer Society.

But, that wasn’t all for the members of RJWC! If all of the check writing didn’t keep them busy enough, they also provided countless hands-on hours to other local organizations including: hosting exhibition openings at Paint Creek Center for the Arts, serving meals and assisting a special events at the Older Persons Commission including their “Sock Hop”, “Island Party” and “Gangsters and Hot Babes” events. The members also assisted with the pumpkin carving station at the Stonewall Pumpkin Festival at the Rochester Hills Museum, helped out at the Halloween Hoot at Dinosaur Hill, assisted shoppers at the Neighborhood House Christmas Shopping Program, decorated Dinosaur Hill for the holidays, sold Daffodils for Dinosaur Hill and sponsored the May Community Kitchen at the Rochester Community House.

During the busy year, RJWC also sponsored the Rochester Hills Arbor Day Tree planting at the School House at Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm, assisted South Oakland Shelter in their “Hope for the Holidays” toy drive program, modeled for the Village of Rochester Hills Fashion Show benefiting Meadow Brook Hall, supported “Barb’s Battalion” bingo fundraiser for the Race for a Cure, participated in the Parisian Charity Sales and modeled for the Green Living Festival.

And, since RJWC doesn’t believe in “all work - no play” they did a few things just for the fun of it! They built a scarecrow, “Josie the Junior” as part of the Rochester Hills Museum’s “Scarecrows in the City,” attended the Sunrise Pinnacle awards, hosted a Spa night, put on a Progressive Dinner for the members and their significant others, they attended the Community Outlook Luncheon, took a self defense class, hosted a monthly book club, took a stained glass class, attended Luncheon on the Aisles for Meadow Brook Theatre, celebrated their 55^th anniversary and ended the year with a lovely dinner at Meadow Brook Hall.

As you can see, contributing to the growth and vitality of the community is the core of the Rochester Junior Woman’s Club! Founded in 1956, they currently have approximately eighty women who are committed to serving the needs of the community.

Rochester Junior Woman’s Club Awards Scholarships
to Two Local Students

Rochester, Michigan
July 18, 2011

Rochester Junior Woman’s Club (RJWC), along with the Greater Rochester Area Community Foundation, awarded Valerie Adams from Stoney Creek High School and Martha Troy from Rochester High School, both a $500 scholarship at the annual awards ceremony held May 24, 2011 at Stoney Creek High School Auditorium.

The Rochester Junior Woman’s Club Memorial Scholarship was established in 1994 to assist seniors from Rochester Community Schools. The recipients are selected based on their activities in community volunteerism and service during their high school careers as well as their overall grade point average.

Valerie Adams plans to pursue a major in kinesiology and double minor in business and environmental science at Saginaw Valley State University where she will attend this fall. During high school she participated in a wide variety of service that has focused on aiding many different groups. Some activities included participating in the annual CROP walk and Relay for Life, she volunteered hours at school, coordinating and mediating with various organizations to solidify volunteer opportunities for Key Club members as well as with the National Honors Society. She volunteers weekly at the First Congregational Church of Romeo as a church school teacher and “shepherd," she has made fleece blankets to send to the Lighthouse of Oakland County, made holiday greeting cards for people in the Romeo community, raked leaves of the homes of the elderly in her community. And, she has worked diligently with the head of the "Senior Giveback" at Stoney Creek High School to raise money for the Heifer Project International. Of all of the volunteer activities, her favorite is working with the church school children at her church. “Whether it be teaching a class or serving as a “shepherd" to the kids, I love building a relationship with them and watching as they learn life lessons and morals that they will carry with them through their life. The lessons taught and absorbed by the children in church are not bible-specific but are general concepts and ideas to be used to guide one's life. My heart is warmed to see them exhibit these ideal characteristics such as compassion, sharing, forgiveness, etc... I am blessed to have the opportunity to work with such wonderful beings. It may seem that I am the one helping them, however, I learn a tremendous deal from the kids as well” Adams said. Valerie plans on continuing her volunteer work once she is at school in the fall and hopes to continue working with children in some way. It is also important to her to volunteer time toward preserving the environment as the health of the Earth. “I am extraordinarily blessed in my life and I am very grateful for that. I recognize that not everyone has the same opportunities as I do and it is the least I can do to give back in some way. The emotional reward that comes hand in hand with volunteering is very fulfilling as well. It warms my heart to see the lives or situations of others improved and that, in turn, improves my mood and outlook on life and the world.” Adams said.

Martha Troy will be attending the College of James Madison at Michigan State University this fall. She plans on majoring in comparative cultures and politics, with a minor or double major in Spanish. In addition to her school activities, she has been involved in volunteer work through Rochester's National Honor Society and through her church. She has found all of her volunteer activities rewarding, but after playing softball competitively through out the nation for years, one of the most rewarding things has been being able to come back and teach kids basic skills. “I've loved running camps and clinics with my travel organization. Even though it may just be teaching a 12 year old how to pitch, it makes a difference. It gives these young girls someone to look up to, something to work for, and a means of learning hard-work and dedication,” says Troy. While at college she plans to continue her volunteer work and is looking forward to the opportunities that present themselves at Michigan State. She is looking forward to participating in Habitat for Humanity and joining a youth group dedicated to public service. “If such an opportunity comes my way, I'd like to study abroad in a Spanish speaking country and teach English as a second language there,” says Troy. When asked why she volunteers, she responded “I volunteer because I like to see the changes one can make. I'm a people person. I like working with people, helping people, and learning from people. Volunteering allows me to do all three!”

The Rochester Junior Woman’s Club would like to congratulate both of these well deserving individuals and wish them well as they begin this new phase of their lives in the fall.

Following this, past president Toni Wiley provided a colorful walk down memory lane, noting the significant changes that have occurred in the world since 1956 along with those we have seen here in our community because of the accomplishments of the women, past and present, who have unselfishly given of their time, talents and support to the Rochester Community over the past 55 years.

The club also honored two of their current members who are celebrating 25 years in the club, Kris Nicholson and Jane Chapoton. Members also took a moment to remember four of their members who had passed away since the last anniversary; Rhonda Jayroe, Toni McCloud, Betty Prescott and Lori Roberts.

In a special tribute to the club, each of the past presidents in attendance took a few minutes to share what RJWC has meant to them as well as special memories from their year as Club President.

Chris Leiss led the group into the new millennium, followed by Toni Wiley, Patty Walket, Lynn Marie Oates, Pat Bruneel, Jeanette Mixon and Michelle Vitale. Although the club has changed through the years along with its members, the one thing that held true as each of the past presidents spoke was the special place the club holds in their hearts, the life long friends they have made and their ongoing dedication to the community.
