LETTER FROM OUR OUTGOING PRESIDENT ERIN

DEEGAN CONNOR

As our 99th year comes to a close and we head into our centennial year, there is much to reflect upon!

This past year, we built teddy bears for children at CAMC Pediatrics, we enjoyed a delicious meal at 1010 Bridge from James Beard nominated Chef Paul Smith, we sampled wines at the Capitol Market Wine Shop and volunteered for many events there. Crafted with children, organized supplies at the United Way, and tested our knowledge of the 1980’s to the 2010’s at our successful trivia event!

We volunteered over 475 hours in the past League year and fundraised $11,000, which directly goes back into the community

At our May picnic we honored our Member of the Year, Taylor Bailey, for her numerous hours of volunteer service and her commitment to making the Junior League of Charleston the best it can be. We also recognized our top volunteers, Beth Belcher, Candace Nelson and Jessica Silber, and our top fundraisers Kara Boehm, Laura Suppa Sammons, and Ryanne Ball. We also awarded Kelsey Stapler as Provisional of the Year for her extraordinary service and contributions as a new member I passed the Presidential gavel on to Lindsay

Silbernagel, who will be leading the Junior League of Charleston in our 100th year!

I have been honored to serve as President of the Junior League of Charleston and I am thankful for each and every one of our active and sustaining members I am greatly looking forward to year 100 and our Centennial Celebration on September 14, and I cannot wait to welcome new members in the fall!

If you know of someone who may be interested in joining the Junior League of Charleston in this exciting year, please send us an email at jlcwv1923@gmail com Cheers to 100 years!
