About Metuchen Edison Women's Club
Our History
Nine young members of the Borough Improvement League, finding daytime meetings difficult to attend met in December 1959 to discuss the possibility of forming an evening division. Thirty-four women started the Evening Department of the Borough Improvement League.
In 1981, the official name for the Club became the Metuchen Edison Women's Club. The Club achieved recognition in competitions each year and their recognition for serving the community grew.
