RJWC's Spring Book to Screen Club met on Monday night and had a great time comparing the book version to the the television series of Margo's Got Money Trouble by Rufi Thorp. We watched the series season finale together and had a great convo about the similarities and differences between the book & screen. It's always a great time chatting about books, TV, and life with our bookish crew.

We also voted for Fall Quarter's choice: The Five-Star Weekend by Elin Hilderbrand

Thanks so much to our awesome host, Michelle! 🧀🥂

Our Book Club meets quarterly Fall - Spring. RJWC membership is not required to attend book club so we encourage anyone who loves to read and might be interested in joining Riverside Juniors to join us! 📚 Email [email protected] if you'd like to join next time.

Riverside Juniors would be nothing without the support of our community, and are proud to have members of our local government sponsor our organization this year. The generosity of providing our annual Spring event donated space along with a monetary sponsorship is so appreciated, and allows for more dollars raised to go back into our community. Thank you so much Riverside Township!

Riverside Township was established on September 24, 1870, when four sections were de-annexed from Proviso Township by action of the County Board.

The Township is bound by Harlem Avenue on the east, 22nd Street on the north, 39th Street on the south, and North Riverside’s 9th Avenue through the forest preserve, Brookfield Zoo, and the Hollywood section of Brookfield on the west.

Visit their website for the vast variety of services that the Township provides to its residents. www.riversidetownship.org

Members of RJWC spent Tuesday evening volunteering their time and talents at Share Food Share Love Brookfield.

Several Juniors spent their time helping shoppers peruse the shelves of this amazing pantry / store. Shoppers are taken up and down the aisles and allowed to choose allotted amounts of various foods during their visit.

Another of our members & her son checked expiration dates and sorted everything in many crates from the postal service food drive. Those items arrived from the USPS food drive last Saturday and were sorted into SFSL's stock room to grace the shelves when it is needed.

Even those that could not participate during this volunteer opportunity were able to support Share Food Share Love. Juniors members at large also donated many items upon the request of the pantry staff to ensure that they have more of the vital in-demand items that they need.

Thank you for all you do for our friends & neighbors We are so proud to support your essential work in our community! 🩷💚
