LPL'S WEB SITE FOCUS - Junior Women's Club of Lakewood
The Junior Women's Club of Lakewood was formed in 1962 by a group of young women interested in "serving their community and stimulating their minds while enjoying a program geared toward fun and friendship." The purpose of the club has not changed. It is a philanthropic organization that sponsors one major fundraiser a year with proceeds going to predetermined organizations in Lakewood. http://www.lkwdpl.org/jwcl/
