Member Benefits

The IWCC Community Council Committee researches various local projects for the purpose of donating to their cause. The IWCC budget allocates monies to various organizations and also allows for emergency needs. To enhance donations, the IWCC holds many fund-raisers. Card parties, raffles, fashion shows, musicals and various other events have proved to be financially successful in raising funds for these worthy causes. The IWCC offers members the opportunity to participate in the life of the Rochester Community in many different ways including: • Enjoying the social gatherings of the Club, including the Christmas Party, Dante Scholarship Dinner, and Mother’s Brunch. • Celebrating Italian heritage at events like the annual St. Joseph's Table. • Supporting higher education by assisting on the Dante Scholarship Dinner Committee. • Supporting local charities by assisting on the Summer Fundraiser Committee. • A “Giving Basket” dedicated to a local charity is put together at every meeting.
