History
In 1935, Pacific Palisades Junior Women's Club (PPJWC) was organized
under the direction of Mrs. R. J. Morrison. She was President of the
Senior Women's Club, which had a membership of 20 at that time.
Juniors, as it is sometimes called today, was formed to include the
daughters of those in the Women's group. PPJWC became federated through
Marcelle deBeauvoler, the second PPJWC president, as it officially
became part of the Los Angeles Federation of Junior Women's Clubs. The
meetings were held in member's homes until the group became so large it
was necessary to hold meetings in St. Matthew's parish house. From its
inception, the PPJWC existed to aid in civic and philanthropic service
and to keep the young women informed and up to date on current affairs.
Purpose of the PPJWC
The
organization is dedicated to enhancing and preserving the quality of
life in Pacific Palisades in the areas of education, recreation,
beautification, community service and other charitable causes.
