The Junior League of
Elizabeth-Plainfield was founded in 1923, the same year Rotary was
established. Rotary and the Junior League share a commitment
to serving the community as well as a birth date. At the Rotary meeting on June 6, Christine
Martinez, President of the Junior League outlined many of the projects
undertaken by the local chapter of the group whose mission is to promote volunteerism and develop
the potential of women. Proceeds from the
Jumble Store, a non-profit thrift store that is operated by the Junior League at
110 Walnut Street in Cranford, fund projects such as the Career Closet which
outfits women returning to the workforce with
free business attire, and the Buddyflies Tween/Teen Empowerment
Event. For more information visit www.jlebnj.org or email cmm5555555@gmail.com.
Rotary is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders. Members, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. As signified by the motto Service Above Self, Rotary’s main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.
