In the past, beginning in the early 1970’s, the League sponsored
the West Orange Debutantes, which invited high school junior
and senior girls to complete a program of etiquette courses
and community service between April and November, which
culminates with a Debutante Ball.
The goal of the debutante program is to help young women
get involved in their communities. Although no longer held,
the Debutante Ball was a grand black-tie event where the
young ladies and their families gathered for their “coming out”
presentation. Complete with their escort, marshal, and families
being presented, the ball was held for many years at the Bay Hill
Country Club.
On Saturday, May 2nd, WOJSL will host the Fourth Run for the
Roses Kentucky Derby Night. This event is the biggest fundraiser
for West Orange Charitable Organizations. Enjoy an evening
with friends and join the Video Horse Racing fun! There will be
horse betting fun, food, drinks, a hat contest and a great silent
auction. The event will be held at The Pines at Windermere from
5:30pm - 10pm. For tickets and sponsorship information, please
