All Aglow

All Aglow provides an opportunity to kick off the Holiday Season with neighbors and friends. Join us at 5:30 p.m. on the City Hall lawn, with the lighting of the evergreen taking place about 6 p.m.

A reception at the Senior Center will follow, featuring carols sung by River’s Edge, hot chocolate and cookies, children’s crafts, and,
of course, visits with Santa himself.

In 2002, the Rocky River Junior Women’s Club sponsored its first annual 5K run/walk. It has grown to a huge success with 25 community sponsors and over 200 participants in the race. A number of local businesses contribute food and prizes to the event. Money from the run directly benefits the Rocky River Assistance Program.

Opportunities for Involvement
Volunteers are needed to assist on the day of the run with coordinating the race, water stops, timing, traffic, refreshments, prizes, etc. Committee members also need assistance prior to the event with publicity, obtaining sponsors, and preparing race packets. This is another event in which friends and family can join in and volunteer their time and support. New members will be invited to get together to assist with stuffing race packets.

It’s back! After a break from this successful project, RRJWC is ready to “sit pretty”’ once again! The Sitting Pretty project involves local area artists painting wooden park benches to display around Rocky River. These benches will be auctioned off and the money raised will benefit the Rocky River Assistance Program (RRAP). We will begin planning this event in January 2010.

Opportunities for Involvement
This very successful fundraiser will require lots of involvement from RRJWC members. Volunteers will be needed in the planning and execution of this exciting project. Committees will recruit and work with local artists, purchase and transport benches, work with sponsors, and plan an auction to sell these beautiful masterpieces.
