I’d really like to work on the relationship with CJWC and merchants in Cedarburg & Grafton. We’ve had a lot of support from some merchants and I think our club members can do more to help them. I also think that there are a lot more merchants that can help support our commitment to our community. We really need to work together in whatever ways we can. This is an awesome community and there are many people, services, agencies, group and businesses that need our support.
Why did you join Juniors? I joined Juniors to get to know our community better. I wanted to help support the area that my children were going to grow in. I also wanted to get to know some local woman, and this club sure has an awesome range of very smart, talented and friendly woman.
What is your favorite CJWC memory? This is a tough one … CJWC does so much for our community. However, I’ve really enjoyed Santa’s secret gift shoppe. It is GREAT to see all the children excited to be able to purchase gifts for their loved ones in secret. They get to shop, buy and wrap their own gifts with “Santa’s helpers” while their parents wait outside the room and wonder what they will be getting at Christmas time.

What is your favorite Juniors memory? It would be helping with Meals on Wheels on a very cold December day with my 2 year old daughter. I was not feeling too excited to do it, but once I started delivering those meals and seeing the smiles on the faces of lonely elderly people when they saw my daughter and me with a hot meal and a Christmas wish, all negative feelings disappeared!
6. What is your favorite Juniors memory? My favorite memory is the first Festival of Trees. The Friday evening before the event opened, lighting all the trees was so magical and unbelievable that my vision had come to life. I hope that this event continues to evolve and will be part of the community and CJWC for many years to come.
