The Junior Woman's Club of Wyoming closed out its program year at their annual May Buffet, held on the evening of May 16 at the Wyoming Civic Center. This year's theme was "Wonder Women of Wyoming". In addition to the members, the group invited representatives from all of the organizations that would be receiving grants to attend. The JWC had a record setting year. They saw a 20.5% increase in volunteer hours, and a 13.56% increase in funds raised for organizations throughout Wyoming and the Greater Cincinnati area. This translates to 2,014 volunteer hours and $24,393.43 which was dispensed as grants to the following organizations:
The City of Wyoming's Recreation Department
The Wyoming Fine Arts Center
The Wyoming Fire Department
The Friends of the Public Library
Our Daily Bread
Heartfelt Tidbits
Pets in Need of Greater Cincinnati
WordPlay
Valley Interfaith Community Resource Center
Women Helping Women
Sweet Cheeks Diaper Bank
Bethany House Services
CHECK Foster Care Center
Caracole
Wyoming Primary Schools
The group was also pleased to announce that they were able to grant not one, but two college scholarships to Wyoming High School Seniors. Anna Oestreich and Emma Melvin were the winners of this year's scholarships, and both women attended the reception.
