Letter from the Editor

The theme of this issue of The CRIER is #OneJLC (Junior League of Charlotte, Inc.), and as a Transfer this year, I have seen that concept in action.

My first interaction with anyone from the League was at my first CRIER meeting — I really jumped into the deep end on that one after living in North Carolina for just one week! But everyone welcomed me with open arms. Next was my meeting with other Transfers to understand the League, and while it is much different than Denver, I felt an immediate kinship with the people around me. It only intensified when I attended the first General Membership Meeting and interviewed President Christina Gratrix for this magazine issue.

Everyone I’ve interacted with has made me feel the #OneJLC theme in their actions and words. And we hope that the pages of this magazine reflect that. Our biggest goal for The CRIER this year is to involve as many members as possible because that’s who makes the JLC a success.

We hope that you ooh and aww over the adorable little leaguers toward the back of the magazine. We hope that you learn something new about our JLC Building and find out more about community partners, Promising Pages and Wing Haven. We hope that you gain new insights into our members through the Actives, Provisionals, Transfers and Sustainers in our spotlights section.

There is something in this issue of The CRIER for everyone because it all goes back to #OneJLC.
