The Batavia Business and Professional Women's Club strives to be a resource to the community through dedicated service by working for the enrichment of our fellow women. Through the years the club has promoted business, professional and social contacts, as well as the spirit of community service, to women of our area.

The Batavia Business and Professional Women's Club meet the first Thursday of the month at 6:30 PM from September through June. It is up to the monthly committee to pick where we meet, the dinner for the evening and who the speaker/entertainment will be. Please refer to our newsletter section for a listing of upcoming meetings and who to call for reservations. This information is also provided in the Daily News, the Pennysaver and also on cable TV.

Women employed in business or professional occupations shall be eligible for membership in the organization. Membership dues are $20 per year payable in September. For first time members dues are $10 for the first year's membership.

Our accomplishments include a scholarship program. Currently we give two $200 scholarships to graduating seniors from BOCES, four $750 scholarships to graduating seniors from local high schools and one $500 adult scholarship for a female returning to Genesee Community College. Also each month from September through June, an evening is spent at the Genesee County Nursing Home to provide BINGO and prizes to the residents. This year we were able to purchase new BINGO cards for this purpose. Contributions to some area charitable organizations are also provided and the club also makes available food, clothing and gifts for families less fortunate than most at Christmas time.
