History

  • The Lynchburg Junior's were organized on March 23, 1947.  The club's first important service was to assist the woman's club with the Grove's Playground in Lynchburg.

    In 1953 the Lynchburg Speech and Hearing Center was the Club's first major project.

    Since then the club has gone on to do many major projects with the most popular being the annual Sterling Silver Achievement Award established in September 1984.  This program donates a particular sum of money to Lynchburg City School libraries in recognition of their volunteers.

    Lynchburg Junior Woman's Club is made up of women between the ages of 18-40.  General meetinngs are held on a monthly basis to plan projects, listen to guest speakers, discuss club business and socialize.

    Community Outreach
    Club members are divided into departments. Those departments consist of Home Life, Education, and Fine Arts.  Each department is responsible for doing various community projects.  For example, Fine Arts provides wreaths to Patrick Henry Boys/Girls Home; Education is sponsored a young woman to go back to school and finish her high school education;  Home Life sponsors children from the Angel Tree at Christmas.

    Most projects done by the Club are special to our hearts. The Club tries to fulfil each member's personal wishes to serve our community.

The ETC Shop

  • The ETC Shop is a consignment shop that opened it's doors for business in the fall of 1970 with the proceeds initially going toward the establishment and operation of the Miller Park Animal Farm.  All profits made by the ETC Shop are returned to the community throught various projects.

    For example, profits were used in the purchase of a Neo-Natal Van, which transports critically ill newborns from Lynchburg and the surroundings areas to Virginia Baptist Hospital.
