JUNIOR PLEDGE

I pledge my loyalty to the Juniors,
by doing better than ever before the work I have to do;
by being prompt, honest, courteous,
by living each day trying to accomplish something,
not merely to exist.

ABOUT US

    The Farmville Junior Woman's Club has been a member of the Virginia Federaton of Women's Clubs and the General Federation of Women's Clubs since 1923.  The club was originally organized to help young women be of more service to their families and community.  Today, club membership consists of both career women and housewives with a variety of interests.  Members participate in various community events and support community groups and projects with donations.  Club members take part in fundraising throughout the year to support work on various projects.  Special programs are held at the monthly meetings to inform  members about the community and self-improvement.  The club hopes to expand its efforts and membership to better serve the community.
