NORTH OLMSTED
JUNIOR WOMEN'S CLUB
Our History
North Olmsted Junior Women's Club was founded in 1943 by Mrs. Gerald Rankin "to enable young homemakers to take an active part in the life of the community". How far we have come! We are mothers, business-women, career-leading individuals that continue to take an active part in the life of the community.
In 2023 we celebrated our 80 year anniversary!
