WOW seeks to provide its 150+ members the opportunity to learn about their community, support local charitable and civic activities, and socialize in an atmosphere of friendliness and goodwill. Aside from the luncheon meetings held monthly from September through May, WOW members are active in 16 clubs and activities throughout each month. In addition, several activities are planned where members can contribute their time and expertise or enjoy social outings with other members. Examples of these are day trips, fund raising activities and volunteering at our charity.

........A Word from Our President 
Hello Ladies!
At the May Regular Meeting/Luncheon, our new 2024-2025 Board members will be installed. I am truly blessed with the current board and the new board. My sincere thank you to Noel McGuigan, Jennie Forsythe, and Patti Williams for assembling the current and new board. This is not easy. I’ve been told that twisting arms is one of their tactics. How do you think I agreed to be President?
The strength of West Orange Women starts with members who roll up their sleeves and jump in where needed. While I may be President, it’s truly the volunteers who make WOW an exciting club. Our monthly luncheons, membership updating and inviting new members, activity coordination and activity leaders, charity fundraisers and volunteers to cook and serve food, written recordings of our meetings, sending messages to members, tracking our money, sending cards and emails for birthdays and illnesses, newsletter writing, photographs, maintaining our website, and many other volunteer services. Whew! We are 162 strong and growing.

My sincere thanks,

Mary Borgan, President
