Moraga Junior Women's Club celebrated 45 years of service to the community on Jan. 15 at Home/Made Kitchen with a bunco game night. The event included current and former members, some with service to the club dating back to 1970 before the town of Moraga was incorporated. Many of the alumni spoke about their experience with the club and the positive impact it has made on the community and for them personally. Fay Schoenberger, club president in 1974 who led the effort to create Moraga's first children's park says, "Moraga Juniors has always been a valuable addition to our community and to the various outside charities that it supports. I'm so delighted that it is alive and well with over 100 members."

Moraga Juniors work to improve the quality of life for women, children and the elderly through volunteer service and fundraising in Contra Costa County and the greater Bay Area. Through their volunteer work, they strengthen bonds in the community and make new friends. They are hosting their annual community egg hunt at the Moraga Commons on March 21 and their Garden Tour on May 3 benefitting the Contra Costa Crisis Center.
