March 1st

is the new deadline for Dues Renewal

(previously January 1st)

Kudos to a large number of our member list for taking care of their quick and easy dues renewal online - it helps us so much!

Like a business, PJWC has expenses and our dues are the means to cover expenses so that $ raised during our summer fundraisers is fully for grants for LC area non-profits.


We so appreciate the greater majority of our members who have already renewed.  Do you still need to renew/pay dues & need help? Please contact  Joan Huey:

Featured member

Anne Coker is a long-time seasonal resident and has been coming to LC since her childhood. Her dad first came to LC in 1959 for a deer hunting week and stayed at Vickers Dude Ranch which started a family tradition.  Anne’s family came in the summers during her childhood and continually stayed at Vickers.  Anne and her husband, Rusty feel blessed that the LC tradition has continued as their children and now grandchildren enjoy LC summers.

When not in LC, the Cokers primarily live in Fairhope, AL where they are currently in the process of building a new home.  All the Coker’s children live within 5 miles of them – wow! The Coker crew includes 4 children (3 daughters & 1 son) & and 8 grandchildren.

Anne & Rusty just celebrated their 50th anniversary with friends back home and continuing the celebration with friends and family in LC.

Anne says, “I enjoy any kind of celebration especially one that involves costumes and a theme!”  And she feels the most valuable thing in LC is friends and sharing her love of this perfect place with so many people. While in LC, Anne spends lots of time playing bridge and socializing with anyone.  Also, quiet time sitting and looking at the mountains with a sewing project in her hand is something she loves.

Anne says, “PJWC is so vital to LC. I appreciate all the work that the members do that helps support our town.  How lucky we are to be a part of LC and PJWC?!”
