A message from
Co-Presidents
Mary Ann Cappo and Pam McConnell
As we turn our calendars to the new year, we reflect on the success of the first half of our club year. We had four successful fundraising events and completed more than 25 philanthropy projects. Now we look forward to 2026 and all of the possibilities that lie ahead. We have three more fundraising events scheduled along with numerous philanthropy projects waiting.
In May as we near the end of our club year we will be welcoming new members as we grow and continue to make a difference TOGETHER. This year we once again honored those members who reached the 25-year anniversary of their membership in JCYM. JCYM is a perfect fit for anyone who likes to work toward a common goal with likeminded women. Take a few moments to reflect about what drew you to JCYM and what continues to hold your interest.
For Mary Ann, it was the mix of doing good for the philanthropies and the way the women supported each other as well as having a lot of fun. For Pam it was the variety of activities, the flexibility, and an opportunity to build new friendships.

"Since 1972 JCYM has been a part of our beginning, growth and long term success. Their generous members had a vision and put words into action. To this day, members share their time and resources with KidsTLC's kids, families and programs in so many ways. JCYM can be found enjoying our fundraising events, playing games with kids in our residential program, providing grants to encourage professional growth and collecting ongoing donations to support program needs."
Elizabeth Hall, Director of Campus Community Engagement
