On Sunday, March 15, 2015 from 11am – 2pm, the Peninsula Womenâ€s Club will host their 2^nd Annual Women of Achievement Brunch.  The Brunch will be held at The Chandelier located at 1081 Broadway, Bayonne NJ and the cost is $35.00 per person.

The Clubâ€s motto is “striving for a better community” and the brunch honors a woman, as well as a young woman, who they feel lives this motto.  Madeline Lo Re, a local business owner, has worked within our community to bring awareness to others for various cancer treatments and precautions.  Briel Peters, a high school Junior, is involved with her community, school and Church with many different activities.  PWC celebrates these women for all they do for our community.

(BAYONNE)The GFWC Peninsula Womenâ€s Club will be conducting a Dress For Success and Prom Dress Clothing Drive on Saturday, March 2, 2013. On that day, club members will be available at the Richard L. Korpi Ice Rink between the hours of 9:00 am and 1:00 pm to accept donations.

 In 2012, the PWCâ€s successful Prom Dress collection enabled 28 local girls to attend their proms and graduations in style! Please think about donating your gently used, special occasion and bridesmaid dresses to this worthy cause.  In addition to dresses, the PWC will also be accepting shoes, jewelry, handbags and accessories to help the girls feel even more like Cinderella. Garments of all sizes will be accepted. Plus sizes are especially needed.

 For this yearâ€s collection, the Club will also be taking donations for Dress For Success and Suits For Success. These organizations prepare women and men for entry into the workforce by providing them with suitable business attire. Any and all business attire, both menâ€s and womenâ€s, will be accepted along with shoes and accessories.

Start your Spring cleaning in your closets! There is someone out there that can use your unused clothing more than you can!
