Member News

JLLI hosted its second annual Fall Fair on October 3!  Thank you to the wonderful vendors who participated and our JLLI volunteers for their hard work. It was a successful weekend for the Thrift Shop.
 
   
 
A Virtual Paint Party was held on October 8.. It was great to see our talented members and friends exercising their artistic abilities while recreating artist Joley Wiley’s “Halloween Lagoon Moon”. Thank you to Loretta Hahn for organizing & hosting.
 
    

We had a General Membership Meeting on October 14. Guest speaker Katelyn Galbraith, NYSPAC Chair, joined the meeting to share ways members can help advocate for laws regarding important issues such as human trafficking, domestic violence, maternal health, and homelessness. We also shared updates about our Thrift Shop, volunteer opportunities such as Thanksgiving Baskets and Project Toy and an upcoming meeting for prospective members. If you know anyone interested in joining a group of likeminded women, be sure to have them contact MembershipDevelopment@jlli.org and ask them to follow us on social media!
 

The Bridal Super Sale was held on October 16, 17 and 18.  Thank you to the many members who volunteered their time to ensure this event was a success. A special thanks to our Fundraiser Co-Chairs Christina Ho and Christina Mangels, along with Meredith Nies and the Fundraising Committee, for their efforts and hard work.  All event proceeds will support community projects that directly benefit women and children on Long Island.

Thrift Shop Grounds Clean-Up

Volunteers Needed!  Sign up on Digital Cheetah.

Member Training

Did you know that the Junior League is also a training organization? Ever since 1901, when founder Mary Harriman taught her friends how to work with families living in tenements on the Lower East Side of NYC, we've recognized that stronger leaders build stronger communities. JLLI training opportunities equip our members to go out and serve our community.
 
 

Thanksgiving Baskets

Thank you to everyone who has donated to our Annual Thanksgiving Basket Drive so far! We are very close to having everything donated this year, without having to spend any of our budget! Please reach out to your friends & family to help us reach our goal for such an impactful and influential event. As a reminder, all donations are due by Monday, November 16. In addition, members sign up on Digital Cheetah to put the Thanksgiving Baskets together on Saturday, November 21. Thank you again for all of your support during a time when it is so needed!
