Mission Statement
Thursday Morning Club is a volunteer women's club that owns and operates the Madison Community House. It offers a Before and After School Child Care Program, this program is licensed by the State of NJ. We also offer After school Enrichment Classes for children. Our rooms are used by other non-profits and local organizations throughout the year for their meetings. The TMC fund raises with programs and events during the course of the year to maintain the Madison Community House building which was built in 1924.
About This Cause
The Madison Community House (MCH) is a service and recreational facility owned, operated, and maintained by the G.F.W.C. Thursday Morning Club (TMC). It is the only Federated Women’s Club in the country to have this distinction. It was built in 1924 with a bequest from Mary B. Cash, a club member, eighteen years after the Thursday Morning Club embarked on a mission of service and aid to the community. Sources of funding include: program and user fees; fundraising activities; donations from TMC Club members, local grants, designated United Way Funds, community groups and the Borough of Madison; and hundreds of volunteers donating time and talent. In the past, in response to the needs of the community, the TMC/MCH has initiated and been a home for many services. They include: the first district nurse, health clinic and “Baby Keep Well Station” prelude to the current Madison Health Department; the first supervised town playground – now Dodge Field; morning kindergarten – now part of the public school system; a thrift shop – now the Independent Thrift Shop; an employment agency and counseling service during the Depression; Friends of the Madison Public Library – now an independent organization; The Madison Shade Tree; and opened “Time Out”, a respite daycare center for adults – now part of Family Service of Morris County. Currently House sponsored programs include a Before and After School Child Care (BASCC), after school enrichment classes in cooking, arts and crafts, singing and dancing; the Charter for Cub Pack #124 and provides many scouting groups with meeting space. The House provides meeting rooms for numerous non-profit and civic organizations. The TMC offers the gym, social rooms and two kitchens for meetings, luncheons, receptions, and other special events at a minimal cost. The House is open daily, Monday through Sunday. The Thursday Morning Club and Madison Community House continue to serve Madison and surrounding community with this vital community center.
