It’s tournament time!!!

Purchase a square (or two) and help support the Clinton County Women’s Club (formerly Breese Junior Women’s Club) while having 15 chances to win big. Each square is $20.

How it works: Purchase a square and your name will be added to the NCAA Tournament board. The day before the tournament begins, numbers 0-9 will be drawn at random and placed on the top and left sides of the boards. Left side will be associated with the losers’ score of each game and the top will be associated with the winning teams’ score. Final score of each game will determine who wins $$ (see below for specific games and corresponding payouts).

Venmo to reserve your square today. Whether you purchase a single or multiple squares, please be sure to include a full name how you’d like the square(s) to read in your Venmo transaction. If you do not have social media, please include a cell phone number to contact in the event you are a winner.

Payouts:
8 Sweet Sixteen winners -$40 per game
4 Elite Eight winners - $70 per game
2 Final Four winners - $100 per game
1 Championship winner - $200 per game

Good luck! 🏀

Happy Friday Friends!

The Breese Junior Women’s Club is considering a rebrand🤩 What does this mean?! The Breese Junior Women’s Club has been around since before the 2000s and has always been a group of women committed to putting on free events for kids within our community. Although the name of the organization suggests only women from Breese, that is not the case as we welcome anyone from the Clinton County area to come join! This is why in 2026 we are looking to rebrand to our name to the Clinton County Junior Women’s Club (CCJWC) in hopes of reducing the confusion of all being welcome within our area!

What does being a member entail?!

Monthly meetings (not mandatory, but we do have a good time) So just join us when you are available

We request volunteers at our events throughout the year. We do ask that you volunteer and help out at least once a year, if life is to crazy we completely understand. Just join when you can 🙂

Meetings are held at Olde City Cafe in Breese. They have drinks for after a long day or coffee if you need a pick me up. We meet on the first Thursday of the month at 6:30pm!
Meetings typically last approximately an hour!

Why should you join?

We truly love doing so much for our community! This November and December, we are planning a Grinch Story Time, donating to Coping 4 Life for Thanksgiving/ Christmas needs, and volunteering to pack lunches with the snack pack program! Next year we are already started planning a vendor fair, Easter Event, Mom’s afternoon/night out, a bike safety event, and so much more!

If you’re looking for a group of like minded gals who love to support the youth, we are your people! Being a mom is not a requirement!

Take our poll below 👇🏻

1. I’m ready to join! (Perfect! We hope to see you at our December or January Meeting!)
2. I have some questions (if so, feel free to email us at [email protected] or message us here on Facebook! We are happy to answer any questions you may have!)
