Our Club is a small organization and we are always looking for new members. We are a non-profit  which redirects our fundraising efforts to assist members of our community in need. Our primary goal is to provide support to sight and hearing impaired individuals in the community.  We also provide scholarships to our local High School for a deserving young woman and man needing financial help to attend college. We provide support to the local food back during the year and major holidays as needs arise. We help to provide school supplies for elementary school children each year.

If you are interested joining please contact Fran Mulherin at 609-472-6640.

Together our clubs were able to purchase the required computer designd to help visually impaired people. It was presented to him on Friday, February 22, 2019.
