Community Service

The Fairview Park Junior Women's Club was organized in 1954 to promote a sense of responsibility among women toward creative interest in civic, social and welfare betterment of the community. Today, that focus remains the same. For fifty years, Fairview Park Junior Women's Club has been a visable presence in the community. Fairview Park JWC continues to be alive, well, and strong as we move through the twenty-first century.

The Fairview Park JWC falls under the category 501(c)(4), which includes Civic leagues or organizations not organized for profit, but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare, and the net earnings of which are devoted exclusively to charitable, educational, or recreational purposes.
