Who Are We?

Founded in 1954, we are a welcoming group of women committed to serving our local town and broader community. Through volunteerism, social outreach and engaging events, we build friendships and have fun along the way! We are members of the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs and internationally of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs.

What Do We Do?

We meet monthly on the first Tuesday of the month (with some exceptions) at 7:00 pm at the USR Library. We come together to share updates, plan activities, hear from guest speakers, and enjoy each other’s company!

We have several committees focusing on all our activities: Arts, BookClub, Education, Community Service, Culinary, Health & Wellness, Fundraising, Membership and Social.

Our Causes

  • Since 1986 we’ve sponsored an annual Essay & Poetry Contest in Upper Saddle River Schools to support excellence in writing.
