EVENTS ARE BACK IN PERSON & WE ARE READY!

101st Annual Meeting

JLC Members celebrated the closing of the 2020-2021 year while looking forward to the next by recognizing our graduating class of New Members, welcoming incoming leadership, honoring annual award recipients, and reviewing important updates from our Program Development team.

New Member Brunch & Orientation

New Members met for a delicious brunch and bubbly mimosas at the New Member Brunch & Orientation. The event gave New Members an overview of the League and an occasion to meet fellow New Members. The President, as well as members from all levels of the League, spoke to New Members about their League experiences.

September GMM

Members were welcomed back for the JLC’s 102nd year by President Tara Mosley with encouraging words about the Columbia Center renovation. Tara welcomed the New Members and our partner The Family Nurturing Center. The Program Acceleration Committee introduced Jane Herms, Executive Director at Family Nurturing Center. Members voted on a new organizational structure for the league.

Sustainers September Meeting

The Junior League Gardeners kicked off their year in Indian Hill at the home of Marsha Lindner. She has made gardening her passion and is specializing in dahlias. It was a drizzly day, but made bright with all the color around her courtyard. She showed them the waddle wall she had built herself out of sticks and vines, see Darci Beattie and Laura Pease standing in front of it. We finished by having lunch in her barn, complete with tablecloths! CandO at The Children’s Home of Cincinnati

The Children’s Home of Cincinnati put on a fantastic event to recognize their “Every Child Succeeds” preschool program graduates. Our volunteers took pictures, made and passed out gift bags with supplies donated by the league, and helped to celebrate children and families. October GMM

League members had a special opportunity to learn from three guest speakers; Dr. David Childs, Dr. Kimberly Haverkos & Dr. Brittany Mention. The meeting was primarily focused on the topic of Critical Race Theory and its current impact. Members broke into small groups to discuss race and personal experiences before coming back together as a group to wrap up with a discussion on empathy.

CandO at Family Nurturing Center

The CandO Committee provided our first of many volunteer opportunities at Family Nurturing Center. Volunteers helped clean the facility and created a festive fall banner full of motivational quotes. CandO Saturday Hoops

Volunteers helped out with the Saturday Hoops’ 18th Annual Dribblethon at Ziegler Park in Over-the-Rhine. It was a great family-friendly event!

Sustainers Wine Down at Unwind

The Sustainers have been gathering this summer and Fall at Unwind in Hyde Park for a Final Friday “Wine Down”. Junior League Gardeners at High Grains

The Junior League Gardeners toured the HighGrains Brewing Co. in Silverton. Through their partnership with One Tree Planted, they are using part of their proceeds to help plant new trees. Owner, Matthew Udder, told them about the growing and harvesting of locally grown hops from Perch Farm and they enjoyed a tasting.
