Through corporate sponsorships, ticket sales and new, innovative concepts like the “giving tree,” the HJWC raised $275,000 for HCS Family Services, which operates pantries for individuals in need at the Memorial Building in Hinsdale and at Anne M. Jeans Elementary School in unincorporated Willowbrook.

Outgoing president Megan Hickman said in addition to the club’s fundraising efforts, it also helped in opening HCS’s schoolbased pantry at Jeans Elementary School in November. At the end of the meeting, the 2016-17 executive board passed the proverbial torch onto the club’s next set of officers. Shazia Sultan of Hinsdale will serve as president, while Irene Wood of Hinsdale will function as first vice president, in line to become president for the 2018-19 club year.
