Community Improvement Project (CIP)
The CIP is a two-year project
headed by a special committee chairperson who researches and coordinates a
particular need in the community. The project is presented at a general meeting
and voted on by the entire club membership. Past projects include placing
a heart defibrillator at the YMCA, the RUOK Program, elevated gardens for the
handicapped at Mar-duke Farms, the Heart Adventure Challenge course used by the
elementary schools in Downers Grove, a Bicycle Helmet Safety Incentive Program
done with the police department, and providing and maintaining current magazine
subscriptions for patients and guests visiting Good Samaritan Hospital.
Federation Reporting
Upon project completion,
reports are created for our records and for the following year’s project
chair. Project information is shared with other levels of Junior Woman’s Clubs
through annual reports to the GFWC of Illinois.
50th Anniversary Committee
A two year
committee that will plan and execute the events of the Downers Grove Junior
Woman's Club 50th year as a philanthropic and service organization.
