The Westlake Village Junior Women’s Club’s spring banquet ended with a twist in the Junior of the Year award.

Normally one woman is named Junior of the Year, but this year the vice presidents of the club’s three biggest events chose a woman whose contribution most helped to make each event successful.

The 24th annual Ging erbread Boutique chose Jessica Dreyfus as its Junior of the Year. Dreyfus has just finished her second year with the club and holds the position of membership chair. She feels that her membership in the Juniors has given her the ability to serve, friendship and a sense of community.

“ All of our members are very involved in our local community and do everything they can to help those in need in the Conejo Valley,” Dreyfus said.

The 31st annual Santa Comes to Westlake/ Agoura and Bey o n d honored Roselle Wolfe.

Wolfe is the parliamentarian and has been with the organization for seven years. She has also served as copresident, vice president of disbursements and chair of Feed the Hungry.

“Juniors has a huge impact on the community because our members are constantly helping out in so many different ways throughout. . . .” Wolfe said. “ We are not just focused on one area. We have branched out into many different areas, from Feed the Hungry and Meals on Wheels to Santa Comes to Westlake/ Agoura and Beyond and Camp Keepsake, just to name a few. We really strive to help any local organization in need of assistance in whatever way we can.”

The second annual Sipping in Springtime fundraiser presented its award to Maureen Wilde, who in her role of treasurer not only helped in the event beyond her normal job position but also found ways to cut costs in putting on the fundraiser.

In her three years with the club, Wilde feels that it has brought her friendship and taught her the importance of community service, “even in only small gestures, like making lunches for Feed the Hungry.”

“The effort of one person isn’t how our group works. It is the effort of many working together that makes the Juniors so successful,” Wilde said.

Founded in 1968, the Westlake Village Junior Women’s Club is open to all women who want to serve their community. The annual membership drive starts in July.
