About Pioneer Jubilee Women's Club

PJWC celebrated it's 85th Anniversary year of serving the Lake City Area in 2025!  We are very proud of our history and our continued impact on Hinsdale County and Lake City.  We are a service organization with several fundraisers each year and membership meetings during the summer season.

PJWC's Summer Fun Kickoff! 


Come hear PJWC's 2026 game plan from Coach Connie!


Don't sit on the sidelines! You're a #1 recruit for Team Hot Dog Stand, Team Yard Sale and Team Toast to the Mountains!

Wear your favorite team t-shirt from you alma mater, your favorite sports team or even your grandkids' school!

Bring your best tailgate "significant" appetizer (it's "what's for dinner"). Beer, wine, water bottles and sodas will be available.

No Hail Mary when it comes to food. Let's Scoop and Score! No rush to the table either or you'll be sacked!

Team spirit is contagious - guests welcome at this event.  Think of neighbors and friends to invite that might be interested in PJWC

We all know Team Work makes the Dream Work. Bring your calendar and volunteer to hostess and help on our Special Teams. We are National Champions when it comes to service because of you our Most Valuable Players!

And don't fumble at the 1 yd line - please help us clean up after our tailgating event.  See you there!

Interested in Joining Us?

PJWC members, both Lake City area and seasonal residents, have member meetings June-October and coordinate fundraisers during the summer to raise money for local nonprofit organizations. 

We welcome guests at our June, July and September lunch meetings - please see our Events page for details on these meetings.  If you are interested in becoming a member, please let a Board member know and we can process your membership.  

As a member, you will enjoy informative luncheon speakers, the satisfaction and pride we feel when we see the impact our grants have on local nonprofits in the greater Hinsdale County community, and the fun we have working alongside likeminded women.

Membership dues are $35, renewable March 1st each year. (Dues cover our Club's operating expenses, so that proceeds raised through our fundraising efforts goes to our Grants program).  Members attend lunch meetings, help as a hostess for a lunch  meeting occasionally and help with at least one of our fundraisers each year.  In addition, members have access to members only events and content.

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

Meet Mary Kay Jergens, a fairly new full-time resident in LC.  Mary Kay and her husband, John, started coming to LC about 9 years ago visiting friends. John took an early retirement in April 2023 and the Jergens decided to make the move to Colorado full time. Mary Kay says, “The mountains are our happy place!” The Jergens bought a lot and built a home, just completed in March of this year.

Mary Kay grew up in Tulsa, OK and went to Oklahoma State University (“Go Pokes!”) and moved to Dallas after graduation. The Jergens lived in the DFW area for 35 years before moving to CO. The Jergens have 3 grown children and 2 grandsons – spread out, literally, coast to coast.

Mary Kay loves to stay very active in LC. Her hobbies include hiking, snowshoeing, snow skiing, pickleball, paddle boarding, fly fishing, playing Mahjong and baking sourdough. Mary Kay serves as a San Juan Solstice Aid Station captain. She also volunteers to help seniors with appointment transportation, prescription pickups, and luncheons. Mary Kay also loves to help “through hikers” with shuttling to Spring Creek Trailhead.

Through PJWC, Mary Kay says she loves meeting our members, catching up at lunch meetings, and working together to raise funds that go back to our community.  She says, “Everyone works so well as a team and every event is successful.”   This year, Mary Kay is joining our awesome Toast leadership team for our signature fundraiser on August 10th.
