Spring is here! It’s music to my ears. Flowers are blooming, the birds are heading back north and summer is just around the corner. As with the coming of spring, the Junior League of Charleston is fully immersed in preparations for the 10th annual Building Communities Over Cocktails (BCOC) fundraising event!
Events………p. 3 2013-2014 Board members……p. 4 Mountain Messages is going digital…p. 5
BCOC will be held on May 2 at the historic Daniel Boone Hotel on Capitol Street. There are many fresh and exciting new items to share about this year’s event. With the assistance of active member, Lindsey Rotella, the logo was refreshed, which you can view on page 2 of this newsletter. Additionally, we have added “early shopper” access tickets, allowing admission into the event thirty minutes earlier – helping to ensure you don’t miss out on the vendors, silent auction items and delicious food. The entire league, especially BCOC Co-Chairs, Elizabeth Yeager and Lindsey Silbernagel, look forward to seeing you at the event and sharing stories of the league, friendship and community!
In February, Sustainer Connie Hamrick graciously received all of the league’s archives into her home. Several sustainers have been going through pictures, newspaper articles and memorabilia of the past 90 years. It is our hope to display these cherished items at the Junior League of Charleston’s 90th Anniversary Celebration event in October. Save the date – the 90th Anniversary Celebration is set for October 26 at the Walker Theater at the Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences. The Sustainer Committee and active Membership Council are working hard to make this event spectacular. Please keep your eyes open for more details in the coming months! I wish everyone a very happy spring and hope to see everyone May 2 at Building Communities Over Cocktails! Megan A. Alldridge President 2012-2014 Junior League of Charleston
