Jody’s Network: Celebrating and Supporting our Members By: Casey Burleigh
J
LC members support our Cincinnati community in many incredible ways. However, it is important that we support our own community within the Junior League, too. This year, Jody’s Network will offer support in even more ways than they have in the past. Jody’s Network provides so much more than tangible support — by showing up for each other during times of celebration, bumpy roads, and possible loss — we show that we value our members as the most important part of our organization.

“After a scary diagnosis and major surgery years ago, Jody’s Network sent flowers and a card, and shared my circumstances with JLC members who came to visit me during recovery, brought meals and provided wonderful support. I am so grateful to have had the care of our incredible organization and strong network of kind, giving hearts during my time of need. I have also enjoyed returning the favor of Jody’s Network to other members via MealTrains, sympathy or congratulatory cards and other acts of love to support them during different seasons of life.” – René Robers, member & Operations Liaison. Please consider getting involved this year by volunteering with Jody’s Network or requesting support or celebration for a member. Some examples of outreach could include: MealTrain, daily errands, sending flowers, and writing/ mailing cards of encouragement or support.
