Closing Out the Year at JLC’s 102nd Annual Meeting
T
he closing of the Junior League of Cincinnati’s 102nd year took place during our Annual Meeting at Mojave East on Tuesday, May 17, 2022. The Membership Engagement Committee, chaired by Casey Burleigh and Meg Anacker, planned this wonderful event, with breezy casual attire, a Southwestern menu and a bake-off competition. Members were asked to wear specific colors based on their current roles: New Members wore red, outgoing EMT and Board Members wore pink, blue or purple, and all other attendees wore white, creating a rainbow of celebration across the venue. The evening included a sweet farewell to our outgoing President, Tara J. Mosley, who will continue on the board next year as Immediate Past President. We also welcomed our incoming President, Kate Fortlage, whose term begins on June 1, 2022. We would also like to recognize our outgoing 2021-2022 Board and EMT leaders: •
