Mary Kay Jergens has just been a member a short time but she has been a bright light and made an impact on our Club.  Mary Kay has helped host member meeting lunches, influenced new members to join this year, and helped with all of our fundraisers, including serving as Co-chair of "Toast to the Mountains".  

As a Board member remarked, "I love that [Mary Kay's] answer to any request is 'sure!'".... And with a smile on her face.

We so appreciate your steady, positive attitude and all you've given to PJWC this year.  Thank you, Mary Kay!!

WOW! Even with a fire on the mountain, a neighborhood evacuated, many Pioneer Jubilee Women’s Club members, donors and supporters gone due to the fire, and not a few hoops to jump through, our 2026 Toast to the Mountains was our most successful to date! At a time when our community needed both the fellowship and encouragement, as well as additional funds raised for Lake City non-profits, our constituents showed up in a big way. And we are so grateful to all who stepped up!

First, endless thanks to our committee chairs: Carrie Pitt and Diane Keeble for our lovely mountain-inspired set-up and décor; Connie Frieze and Melissa Perry for the cash bar, complete with our signature cocktail, the San Cristobal Sunset, generously mixed and provided by Greg Collins; Marjorie Harrigan and Joan Huey for the beautiful and bountiful buffet; Karen Shaw for our fun and fabulous wine pull and whiskey ring toss; and Chris Moler and Sandy Murphy for our diverse and delightful silent auction. And, of course, each of these committees consisted of many volunteers who worked hard and brought their creativity and generosity. Most of our membership donate at least one or more of the following to the Toast: food for the buffet, whiskey and/or wine, decorations, and significant “hands on” time.

PJWC couldn’t do what we do without our men involved. From set-up to clean-up and everything in between, our guys support us and our crazy ideas to make each of our fundraising events a success.

Last but certainly not least, our generous donors enable us to make this evening such a success. Our awesome silent auction donors include Jergens Mountain Homes, Jeff and Chris Moler, Happy Johns, Sandy Murphy, Patrick Thompson, Lynne Darrah, Diane Keeble, Rebecca Romanowski, Harvey Duchene, Marjorie Harrigan, Lake View Properties, Lake City Hinsdale County Chamber of Commerce, Lake City D.I.R.T., Connie Frieze, Cabin Fever Mercantile, Linda Gardiner, Linda Downs, San Juan Soda Company, Lake City Outdoors, Allison Wetzel, Joan Huey, Lori Boykin, Tyler and Melody Crump, Razvan and Bianca Armeanca, Christine and Derek Fletcher, Mike and Dianne Edgemon, Bobby and Sue Beddingfield, Jack and Cristie Reeves, Russ Brown, Peggy and Howard Berg, Anne Coker, Pamela Evans, Betty Touchon, Creede Repertory Theatre, World of Gems, and Alpine Pedal and Paddle. Thank you, donors! Your giving helps make a huge impact on our community.

And thank you, Lake City, for showing up! Every time! Cheers!
