The\u00a0Women\u2019s Club of Brick Township is much more than a social group, its members say, as they celebrate the 70th anniversary of service to Brick.<\/p>\n

The club, which consists of 47 women, participates in numerous service projects each year, organizes programs for young women and even provides scholarships by way of their fundraising efforts, said\u00a0Gwendolyn Lewis, the club\u2019s current president. The club was honored for its efforts last week by the Brick Township mayor and council, who issued proclamations recognizing its service to the township.<\/p>\n

What the club needs most is new members.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking for more people,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cWe used to be over 100 women and we are down to 47 now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group regularly takes part in service projects, charitable events and raises awareness for important women\u2019s issues. This weekend,\u00a0the club also is participating\u00a0in the Prevent Child Abuse NJ Mall Walk at Monmouth Mall, set to take place Saturday.<\/p>\n

The club recently started a Facebook page<\/a> as a way to reach out the community and, hopefully, attract new members.<\/p>\n

Those interested in joining can check out the Facebook page<\/a> for more information or contact\u00a0Mary Kay Tokar, communications chair, at\u00a0201-320-8403\u00a0or via email at\u00a0tokar@njsfwc.org.<\/p>\n
