Our Efforts for the Community

Spelling Bee
The Club holds a Spelling Bee annually in January for Westfield 4th and 5th grade students. Members serve as judges, announcers and ushers for the event. Three winners move on to compete in the District Spelling Bee in February with children from surrounding towns. District winners move on to the State Spelling Bee. It is a fun event for all of the children who participate and our members too! Please visit the "Spelling Bee" tab at the top of this page to register for the 2016 Spelling Bee.
Scholarship Fund
The Club gives an annual college scholarship to a Westfield High School Senior. Scholarship recipients are chosen based on academic record, written essay, community service, extra-curricular activity and financial need. A fundraiser is conducted to support the scholarship.
Special Olympics
Club members volunteer at various events including Special Olympics Swim Meet and Special Olympics Track & Field Event.
Habitat For Humanity
Club members volunteer their time in spring and fall at Habitat for Humanity, helping build affordable housing for those in need.
Collections
The club currently collects diapers and wipes for YWCA of Union County (Project Protect). The YWCA of Union County provides housing and services for abused women and their children. In addition, each fall we collect coats, hats and gloves for the Elizabeth Coalition for the Homeless.
