MEMBERSHIP MATTERS!

Many visitors to our monthly brunches decide to join the group, either through the regular membership or Premier membership. Proceeds we raise through the year go toward funding our group, but our profits go directly into the Scholarship Fund!

This will be our 9th year of sponsoring young Conejo Valley graduating senior young women with scholarships ranging from $500 - $1000 each. We have awarded nearly $34,000, to date, and are looking forward to 2018's scholarship contest! Many of these young women have gone on to graduate college and enter their adult lives in public service, teaching, medicine, politics, finance, etc

There are two tiers of membership: RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP TODAY!
