Amazing Race Marlboro - MJWC Supporting the Marlboro Lions Club
On May 31, 2009, MJWC supported the Marlboro Lions Club by participating in the Amazing Race Marlboro they hosted. Three members of MJWC made a team and found all the clues. It was a lot of fun and all the proceeds go to the great work the Lions Club does.

Trivia Night 2009 - Another Successful MJWC Event
On February 6, 2009 we held our 4th annual Trivia Night. Turnout was great and everyone had a fabulous time. February 6th was also Go Red for Women (heart health campaign) and the sea of red throughout the room was impressive!

Juniors United For Less Plastic in the World
MJWC has launched a new project within club to help eliminate our dependence on plastic shopping bags. By turning old t-shirts into reusable shopping or grocery bags, we reduce the number of harmful plastic bags in the world.
Why should we care?
- Hundreds of thousands of sea turtles, whales and other marine mammals die every year from eating discarded plastic bags mistaken for food.
- On land, many cows, goats and other animals suffer a similar fate to marine life when they accidentally ingest plastic bags while foraging for food.
- In a landfill, plastic bags take up to 1,000 years to degrade. As litter, they breakdown into tiny bits, contaminating our soil and water.
- Less than 1% of disposable plastic grocery bags are recycled. It costs more to recycle one than produce a new one.
- Using non-disposable cloth bags can save 6 bags a week

What to make your own bags? They're super easy. Check out Martha Stewart's how-to
