General Meetings

Note that Woman's Club of Cranbury programs run from September through May. 

In addition to our various Departments, we have one general meeting each month  of all Departments combined.  This is our opportunity for fellowship among all members.  It is at these events that new members are inducted and Scholarships are awarded.

Monthly department meetings are held on the third Thursday of the month at 10 am.  

The avenues of art are only limited by our imaginations. NJSFWC Arts Creative Community Service Program encourages members to promote and support arts activities in their clubs, schools, and communities. It is designed to inspire clubwomen and ignite within them a desire to make their world a more beautiful place. The goal is to create programs and projects in a multitude of arts-related areas, both traditional and innovative, that cause the world around us to see and feel what they might have only once imagined. 

Monthly department meetings are held on the third Thursday of the month at 7 pm.  

Civic and social responsibilities are key components in our lives. The NJSFWC Public Issues Community Service Program is designed to actively connect members with effective projects and activities relating to civic and social responsibilities. This program focuses on the following areas:

• Citizenship
• Military Personnel
• Emergency and Disaster Preparedness
• Safety and Crime Prevention

Events:  We sponsor Meet the Candidates Night and the Easter Egg Hunt in Village Park.

 Monthly department meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm. Activities run from September through May.

Various culinary topics & interests for the upcoming year are discussed and planned for at our last scheduled meeting in May. Group members take turns either hosting a monthly meeting or by bringing needed food items to round out the program for that evening. Meetings vary in scope, from having a professional cook give us an in-home demonstration to a member pot luck dinner. We also recognize the increasing need for donations to our local food pantries. We support several and are committed to continuing and growing our efforts. 

Monthly department meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 10 am.  

From the 1996 Report of the International Commission on Education for the 21st Century and the 1997 Hamburg Declaration: Literacy, broadly conceived as the basic knowledge and skills needed in a rapidly changing world is a fundamental human right. There are millions, the majority of whom are women, who lack opportunities to learn or have insufficient skills to be able to assert this right. The challenge is to enable them to do so. Literacy is also a catalyst for participating in social, cultural, political, and economic activities, and for learning throughout life. 

   Monthly department meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month at 11 am.  

The NJSFWC Environment Community Service Program encourages awareness of our natural resources and caring for the world around us. It offers information and ideas to promote environmental appreciation and protection. We work to preserve, maintain, and restore our natural resources; protect habitats for plants and animals; and develop sustainable habits.

Our goals include environmental education; care for our air, land, and water; recycling; litter cleanup; partnerships with community groups, schools, and children; support of wildlife; energy conservation; tree planting; and beautification.

Monthly department meetings are held on the second Monday of the month  at 7 pm.  

The Health and Wellness Community Service Program is designed to inform members of issues that affect the well-being of individuals, families and communities by providing opportunities and resources to meet and address needs through volunteering. Through this program, clubs may develop and implement creative projects that promote a healthy lifestyle; increase awareness, prevention, research, and treatment of disease; target personal development; address the issues of hunger, inadequate housing, and homelessness; and/or prevent or correct financial difficulties. 

Dates and times vary.  Join the email list  to be notified when a hike is planned.

Events: Put on your hiking boots and join us for a walk through our wonderful parks and woodlands.
