About Us

History 
The Senior Junior Forum, the service department of the Woman’s Forum, was formed in 1934. It was at that time that the organization founded the Northside Girls Club and supported it to benefit the community through 1985. Since that time the Senior Junior Forum members have provided service hours and/or financial support for several worthwhile local charities. Successful fundraisers throughout the years have been, horse shows, The Little Shoppe, Pzzazz, Top of Texas, and Slice of Texas Toast.  Currently, our major fundraiser, the Red River Wine Festival is in it’s sixth year. Last year we celebrated our 75th Anniversary.   

Membership 
Currently, the organization has approximately one hundred members representing all walks of life.  Member’s occupations range from lawyers and teachers to homemakers and entrepreneurs.  They all have one thing in common, the desire to elevate the quality of life in their community.  

Tax Deductible 
Our organization has been granted 501(c) 3non-profit status by the Internal Revenue Service and all donations are tax deductible.   Proceeds from the Red River Wine Festival will be donated to the local charitable organizations supported by the Senior Junior Forum.
