The Newnan Junior Service League
(NJSL) is an organization of women committed to enhancing the quality
of life in Coweta County through dedicated service, volunteerism, and
leadership. Currently the NJSL is made up of 90 members who volunteer
60 hours of their time each year to local organizations such as the
Coweta County Public Schools, Newnan Hospital Nursing and
Rehabilitation, The Salvation Army, and many more.
The NJSL also hosts various fundraising events throughout the year to
raise money to benefit organizations in our community. Our major
fundraiser is the Charity Ball and Auction that takes place in
February. In 2004, a NJSL grant of $27,000 made it possible for The
Newnan-Coweta Humane Society to purchase a mobile adoption unit which
will allow them to rescue and transport more animals and reach more
adoptive families. The 2005 grant, $26,000, was awarded to the Court
Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Program. CASA is using their grant
to establish their program in Coweta County which will provide
volunteer advocates for abused and neglected children so that they can
thrive in safe, permanent homes.
