This past spring, member of the Hinsdale Junior Woman’s Club (HJWC) and their guests raised funds at the annual “Wonderland” benefit in downtown Chicago at the Untitled Supper Club.

Featuring entertainment, tempting cocktails, and delicious bites, the event was yet another success for the philanthropic organization. Since 1949, HJWC has provided grants for deserving groups in the western suburbs from their charitable efforts. ■
