Mountain Lakes Women's Club

It is with great dismay, the Mountain Lakes Women’s Club will be shutting its doors. Should the Club be revived in the future, this FaceBook page will remain as a starting point for that announcement. In the interim, Roberta George-Matalon can be contacted via this page should anyone have an interest in reviving the Club. Much thanks to all of the wonderful telephone directory advertisers, the borough of Mountain Lakes, and supporting residents! The Historic Preservation Committee will house the past directories, photos, and other preserved artifacts that proved this Club to be an amazing contribution to the now established community, schools, and library. ❤️ Mountain Lakes!

The Mountain Lakes Women's Club ("MLWC"), founded in 1914, is now seeking new leadership limited to Mountain Lakes residents. The MLWC was formed to support the Mountain Lakes educational system and cultural enrichment by forming the Mountain Lakes Library and the MacDowell Club. As the Club's sole fundraiser, the Mountain Lakes Residential Telephone Directory has been published for 64 years with all proceeds distributed to select local civic organizations, nonprofits, and graduates of the high school. If interested in leading this historic organization, please contact Roberta George-Matalon at [email protected] for more information. Response deadline: August 31, 2020.

It is time! The Mountain Lakes Residential Telephone Directory will be published this June! Reply to our email address as indicated before May 5, 2019 if you are not in the directory and want to be, don't want to be, can't be anymore! Or, just write us a little note to remind us of how great it is to have a residential telephone directory in town! Some traditions just never die!! Thank you all so much for your support!

Shout out to the Delchamps family! Found this in the Women’s Club archives! I am assuming this is Lisa’s Mom. I see the resemblance.

Some of the unique covers to the Mountain Lakes Residential Telephone Directory! I’m sure there are a few more but the books are already in the archives for preservation!

Only 26 of the 63 books published! Sending these babies to the Historic Preservation Committee who holds the other 37!

Monday April 10, 1916, the Mountain Lakes Women’s Club opened the doors to the official Mountain Lakes Free Public Library.

I am so proud to be a member of this organization that has a history like no other town. The question is, what can I do with the organization to continue its legacy in a meaningful way. Hard to surpass what has already been achieved.

In that respect, may I just take a moment to say ...
The Mountain Lakes Residential Telephone Directory is our only fundraiser. And, we are competing with other local commercial publications to sell Ads. The Women’s Club has been asked to donate funds for worthy purposes, such as our schools, police, firefighters, Library, and so many others who need financial support. What can we do in the face of fierce competition to raise funds with one simple means; Advertising.

Thank you to all of the Advertisers who supported our worthy causes this past year! We look forward to next year! And for those who bypassed the opportunity to give back to the community, think about where your advertising dollars are going before you commit.

Advertise in the Mountain Lakes Residential Telephone Directory next year. Contact me and I’ll put you on the list of advertisers for the 2019 Telephone Directory.

History of the Mountain Lakes Women’s Club ... well, not the full history as this was published shortly after it was founded in 1914!
