Batavia Woman's Club
Serving the Community for over 120 Years
Batavia Woman’s Club is a non-profit 501c3 community service organization.
The club objectives are to promote educational, environmental, home life,
and philanthropic interests of the community with an emphasis on the
welfare of women and children. For more information, please visit www.bataviawomansclub.org
The Kiwanis Club of Batavia
The Kiwanis Club of Batavia is part of a global organization dedicated to changing the world, one
child and one community at a time. More than 13,000 clubs in 90 different countries make their mark by responding to the needs of their communities. We focus on the needs of children both
in our community and in the world. We joined with UNICEF to eliminate Iodine Deficiency Disease and we are currently working with them to eliminate Neonatal tetanus throughout the world.
Locally we support many groups that supply services to children as well as the Interfaith Food Pantry, Valley Sheltered Workshop and Tri-City Health Services. We sponsor the BHS Key Club,
Rotolo Middle School Builder's Club and Hoover Wood K-Kids. These groups teach children the importance of service to their schools and communities.
We meet the 2nd and 4 Tuesdays of the month at noon Andre's Restaurant. We also have one night meeting a month at 6:30 on the Monday preceding the 2ndTuesday at Panera in Batavia. We welcome you to come visit our friendly group and see what we do. Contact: Sue at 630-879-2281 or Jan at 630-879-0065
