Hello Everyone!
Welcome to April in
Food and Wine hosted a successful supper-making evening at
Letís Dish in Norwell, followed by a terrific, beautifully organized Beer
Tasting at the Womanís Clubhouse. Who knew there was so much interesting
information to learn about beer? All the Sam Adams products were
excellent, as well as the food pairings to go along with them! Membership
had fun mingling and bowling with some of our new members at Boston Bowl.
Community Service took some tots to celebrate St. Patrickís Day at the
As you know, a majority of the funds we are able to give
back to the community come from proceeds from our Road Race (Tuesday, June 10th).
So again, if you still do not know how you can help make this day the huge
success that it always is, please call Eve so she can give you a job!
There will be a meeting for members on Sunday, June 8th to answer all your
questions on how the road race works and where we need coverage. If you
have already contacted Eve, thatís great. You all have been so supportive
and we are off to a strong start.
We have a big anniversary celebration coming up! This year
is the 75th anniversary of the Milton Junior Womanís Club. Please mark
your calendars for Sunday, April 27th from
Another important date to tell you about is Milton Green Day
on Saturday, May 3rd from
Lastly, please be thinking about what you may like to do in
our club for next year as we will have openings on our Board and for Committee
Chairs. We will provide you with more information next month. We
definitely need volunteers for Pre-school Story Hour. It is a very easy
thing to do during the day if you already have little ones.
Also, donít forget that Community Service is collecting
toiletry items for Motherís Day gift bags to be given to clients of the food
pantry.
And donít worry; we know the sunshine is just around the
corner! It will find us ñ it always does!

Prior to, or
day of, that is the question. Please respond to me directly at bruceve98@comcast.net and
let me know if you have not already. All members, who will be running in
this event, will need to volunteer for a task that will take place
prior to the day of the race. While I am excited to be moving along
smoothly, we need the assistance of all of our members for this event to run
smoothly.
I would like
to thank all of the members who have already stepped up to their volunteer
commitment. Your energy, time and assistance are appreciated. This
month was focused on sponsorship. We have been able to make contact with
many of our vendors and the money is coming in. At the time of this
writing, we are at $10,500 in cash donations! This is very exciting! However, we are still a
distance from our goal of $25,000. Without the success of this event, the
MJWC cannot give the nearly $15,000 a year in scholarships and grant
money back to the town of
There is some bad news, however. Outback has told us
that they are unable to participate this year. While this is unfortunate,
this opens the door for another establishment to benefit from exposure in
this exciting event if they step in. We have some ideas, but, if any
member has access to a company that would appreciate this opportunity, please
contact me.
We have many
returning vendors and activities. The Toy Box has signed on to man an
activity station for children and DJ SuzieQ will be
making a return appearance. Both of these groups were favorites at
last year's event. We have a jumping house secured for race day.
Also, the
We are currently compiling a list of
"commonly asked questions" for the road race - and you can all help!
Were you present at last year's road race? What were your
questions, or what questions did you hear from runners? If you have not
been to the Milton Road Race, what questions do you have? Please forward
your questions to me. We will be posting Q&A at the race, as well as
divide them up to appropriate focus areas for quick reference.

All
assistance is welcome and appreciated. We look forward to working with
each of you!
