Working in the community.
Throughout the year our members work to plan our annual fundraising event, Nautical Nights, and cultivate support for the organization while at the same time learning about the agencies we work with and the people they serve. On a monthly basis, our Projects Committee reviews requests and makes determinations on financial assistance.
Our annual Nautical Nights event raises funds for year-round giving in a beautiful setting offering an evening of festivities and fun, all for a great cause.
Dues from our 35 members facilitate spring and fall donations to grass roots non-profit organizations to assist them in meeting their missions as well as other smaller scale Junior Welfare Society projects such as summer camp sponsorships and back-to-school backpacks.
