Woman's Club of Cranbury
Candidates Night
An Explanation
The General Federation of Women's Clubs has consistently maintained its nonpartisan status. The Woman's Club of Cranbury stands for no political party. We are a volunteer organization with roots dating back to 1898. While our members hold diverse opinions, they remain committed to fostering a fair and open environment where voters can meet and learn about the candidates.
Over the years, Candidates Night has been a beacon of open discussion, creating a space for candidates and voters to engage in meaningful dialogue. Unfortunately, this year, some perceived our efforts as restrictive.
It is with great disappointment that we announce the cancellation of Candidates Night for this year. Due to the challenging and contentious atmosphere currently in our town, we were unable to meet our goals. This decision, made without input from any candidate, was not taken lightly.

New Neighbors Reception
Our Town has some wonderful new families
On Friday, September 26th, I attended the New Neighbors Reception at the Cranbury Public Library. Dozens of new families signed up for Library Cards. They got to meet community and organization leaders. It was good to see Gene McDermott of the Cranbury First Aid Squad and the spouse of beloved Woman's Club member, Marna McDermott. I met so many of our new neighbors and introduced them to our Woman's Club. I handed out Flyers to those who were interested and encouraged them to visit this website, where they can find our calendar, scrapbook, videos, and more. I look forward to seeing them at future events. Marsha Travis, President

GFWC’s New Affiliate Organization: Alzheimer’s Association
On June 30, 2024, GFWC and the Alzheimer’s Association signed a partnership agreement live, during The Purple Gala: A Night of Hopes, Dreams, and Inspiration. The Alzheimer’s Association reports that approximately two-thirds of dementia caregivers are women. As a women’s organization, GFWC recognizes the impact that Alzheimer’s disease and dementia have on each of us and the overall impact they have on our communities.
GFWC supports:
- Education on recognition of cognitive decline and other forms of dementia;
- Funding for caregivers, respite care, and facilities that provide memory care;
- Legislation and research to improve treatments, access to treatment, prevention, and cures for all forms of dementia.
We are proud and excited to work with the Alzheimer’s Association to end Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. We will update you as new resources and events become available in the coming months.
