From our President Last year was a year of transition. Under the strong leadership of Audrey Starr, the Junior League of Dayton realigned its yearly calendar, moved new member recruitment to the spring, and launched our new community focus on literacy. These changes were all made with minimal complaints and in keeping with the high standards people have come to expect from the League in its daily work. Now that we have moved past the transition phase, I see 2017-2018 as the year of growth. This growth can be seen in our engagement with sustainers and in the official opening of our archives. It can be seen in our increased numbers as we welcome a wonderful new member class into our ranks. And, of course, it can be seen in our community engagement as we begin to expand our Learn Grown Explore literacy program to include year-round opportunities and add components to our Kids in the Kitchen programming.
The most important growth is that of each individual member. Junior League strives to recognize each member for the assets she brings to the League and to support its members as they branch out to try new skills. At the annual dinner this past spring, I asked members to pause for a minute when they felt they were “in the dirt� and to see the beauty of the big picture. If each member takes one moment to do this, she will understand that her actions create a ripple effect within our community. Hopefully this will grow the energy, engagement, and excitement of our members, allowing them to take greater chances for the Dayton community and for themselves. If each member experiences even the smallest feeling of accomplishment and growth, then the 2017-2018 League year will be a success!

Learn Grow Explore The Junior League of Dayton launched a new community focus on literacy. It began during the 2014-15 League year when the League restocked libraries within local elementary schools and helped local librarians with literacy programs for school-aged children. Today, the League’s most extensive literacy-focused program is Learn Grow Explore; a fun, educational series of activities held during the summer at the Dayton Metro Library’s Northwest Branch. Spurred by the need to counteract summer slide, the League partnered with the branch to plan and host lunchtime programs in June and July. This past summer, the League hosted seven Learn Grow Explore events. About 20 children participated each week, and some local daycares and summer camps timed their library visits to coincide with the League’s programming. The events followed free meal service made possible by the federal summer lunch program, giving the League a built-in audience of children eager to learn and participate in fun-filled activities. Themes ranged from theater to science, and librarians selected ageappropriate books to incorporate into the activities. This League year, the Learn Grow Explore team is expanding the program by offering literacy-focused volunteer shifts throughout the year. League members can tutor school-aged children from Agape for Youth, a foster care agency, and Homefull, which provides services for homeless people in the Dayton area. HOW TO HELP Members and sustainers may sign-up for shifts online. Or, email Angela DeMoss at community@jldayton.org.
Fight the Slide “Summer Slide” is the tendency for students to lose some of the academic skills they gained during the previous school year. It means that many children start school up to 2.5 months behind where they were when school let out.
Reading well in third grade is an important predictor of whether a child will go on to graduate from high school. If children aren’t reading on grade-level at this point, they’re at high risk of struggling throughout school.

Children who have the weakest academic skills need high quality summer and afterschool programming to catch up in areas where they’re behind. Experts say literacy needs to be the focus of summer programs.
summer, they can fall up to two years behind by fifth grade. Summer Slide adds up. It’s also one of the most significant causes of achievement gap between lower- and higher- income youth.
60%
Montgomery County has roughly 44,000 children in grades K-5. Almost 60 percent of students are considered “high-needs,” meaning they qualify for free and reduced lunch.

SPOTLIGHT
dedicated to helping others,” she said. “The people you meet have impact. It’s a good place to fulfill your potential. I found that, with the support of other women, you can do something great.”
Michelle Brad always wanted to be a part of Dayton history. The Wright State alumna joined the Junior League of Dayton in 2006 based on a coworker’s encouragement. Brad was seeking opportunities to volunteer as her two children grew older. The League’s rich history was appealing, but she said she didn’t want to be “in charge” of anything. She had already played the roles of troop leader, den mom and room mom, and she was a director at her full-time job. The League was a great fit. “When I joined, I found a bunch of well-trained volunteers and women who were
As a member, Brad enjoyed helping other women tryon leadership roles while she got to play the part of teammate. “The League can be a great opportunity to see if being a leader is something you like. Sometimes it’s not fun to be the boss. Everyone has a role to make it work, and the League is a safe place to learn,” she said. She served on various membership committees over an eight-year League career before transitioning to sustaining membership in 2014. Today, Brad is director of customer service for Dayton Lamina, a tool manufacturer that serves the automotive
industry — supporting Dayton’s rich automotive history. She manages three teams; two in Dayton and one in Novi, Michigan. In her free time, she loves spending time with her two-year-old grandson. She has also stepped into a leadership role in the League; she is serving as Sustainer Representative to the Board for the 2017-2018 League year. As a “newer” sustainer, Brad hopes to bridge the gap between members who have recently transitioned to sustaining membership and those who
have supported the League as sustainers for some time. She’s trying to create more volunteer opportunities for sustainers, and she’d like to bring back some of the social aspects of the League. There is an active lunch bunch, and investment and bridge clubs. New groups may still be formed based on sustainer interest. To find out more about sustainer volunteer opportunities or to join a sustainer group, contact Michelle Brad at cablelady11@gmail.com or (937) 479-5155.
The people you meet have impact... I found that, with the support of other women, you can do something great. —Michelle Brad
Happy 95th, Annabelle!

Getting Social What is a hashtag? hash·tag /‘haSHtag/ noun 1. (on social media sites such as Twitter or Instagram) a word or phrase preceded by a hash or pound sign (#) and used to identify messages on a specific topic.
This summer, sustainer members met with Rachel Lanka, a League member and digital production manager for Cox Media Group, to talk about social media. Lanka offered tips for getting connected and answered questions about the League’s approach to social media. Here’s her response to a commonly asked question: Q: Why have we stopped advertising in the paper and started advertising on Facebook? A from Rachel: That’s a common (and great!) question that all organizations and businesses get in 2017. It comes down to getting to choose who sees our ads and seeing how effectively our money was spent. When you advertise on TV or in the newspaper, you’re going to hit a large group of people — but you know a lot of those people are not the audience you want to reach. When we advertise on Facebook, we have the ability to send our ads to just the people we want to reach. Have a recruitment event coming up? We can target our ad to only reach women

in the Dayton metro area. We can even narrow it to only include people with certain interests. Vintage in the Valley just around the corner? We can run ads for people who like yard sales, rummage sales and shopping. Facebook also gives us the chance to test different ads, to see what people like more. We can run multiple ads with different images and different text — and if one is performing poorly, we can turn it off and put that budget toward the ad that is performing well! Finally, with advertising on TV or in the newspaper, you know how many viewers the station typically has, or how many subscribers the paper reaches — but not how many people actually see your ad. With Facebook advertising, we can tell exactly how many people saw our advertisement. We also know if they interacted with it by clicking on a link or liking our page, and we get details like age, gender and where they live. With this kind of information, we can make better decisions about advertising in the future.

More Ways to Shop & Support 13 Things that are Better to Buy Used Save the big bucks for that downpayment, new car, college or your regular caramel frappuccino. Here are 13 things financial gurus think are a better value the second time around. Baby gear
Electronics
Old CDs
Books
Furniture
Pre-owned gift cards
Cars
Gently used clothing
Sports equipment
Designer clothing/ designer jeans
Gold and other jewelry
Tools
Musical instruments
You can frequently find these items at Vintage in the Valley
5 Reasons to Buy Second-hand 1. Save money. When you buy second-hand your money goes much further. On average, used products are 50 percent cheaper than new. Some items, like designer clothes, may be discounted up to 90 percent from their retail price tag. 2. It’s a thrill. Second-hand shopping is an experience, and many people find the hunt for great items at an unbelievable price more rewarding than regular retail shopping. 3. Support your community. In most cases, like with Vintage in the Valley, your shopping dollars stay in the community to benefit local businesses and charities. 4. Choose quality products. With gently used and already broken-in items, you can tell what’s going to last. 5. Go green. Reduce, reuse, recycle as you shop. Help keep items, including tons of packaging, out of landfills.

JLD Earns National Marketing Award In the United States, the number of obese children has more than tripled since the 1970s. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about one in five U.S. school-aged children is considered obese. To tackle this issue, the Junior League of Dayton partnered with ThinkTV to create a multi-year media campaign to promote healthy families. Together, they created a series of public service announcements (PSAs) to help children and their families make smart food and exercise choices. The project was highly collaborative across the League and the community; Dayton Children’s Hospital, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, and the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery all contributed to the effort. In its first year, the campaign aired multiple times a day on ThinkTV’s three channels, with viewership estimated at more than 750,000 viewers. Several sister Leagues, including the Junior Leagues of Akron, Dallas, and Phoenix, have since replicated the campaign in their own communities. This summer, the PSA program earned the annual AJLI Award for Marketing and Communications. “This project represents a first of its kind in the Dayton region: public service announcements aimed at local kids, featuring local kids, produced by local partners and residents — acting entirely as community volunteers,” explained
Stephanie Winquist, 2017-18 president, and Jessica Stickel, 2017-18 president-elect, received the honor on behalf of our League at the 2017 AJLI Annual Conference.
Audrey Starr, who served as Communications Council Vice President when the campaign launched in 2014. To watch the award-winning PSA videos, visit http://bit.ly/ KITK-PSA14.
“It is education that excites, engages, and, thus, transforms. That’s why we’re all a part of Junior League — to transform our community. — Audrey Starr
While food items may be purchased with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, the program does not cover toilet paper, diapers, toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant or feminine hygiene products.
Helping women and girls.Period. Across the U.S., girls and women are missing school and work because they simply can’t afford tampons and pads. Those items are not covered by food stamps, forcing some families to cut back or go without. This need creates a hardship on women and directly impacts educational and work opportunities. It also reinforces some of the stigma women already face for simply being women. We can help. The Junior League of Dayton will collect feminine hygiene products at every General Membership Meeting during the 2017-2018 League year. The items will be donated to local charities that help women in need.
11 | October 2017
In Ohio, women must also pay sales tax on feminine hygiene products. The Girls Helping Girls. Period. movement is a volunteer effort started by two teenaged sisters from New Jersey. Way to challenge the status quo, girls!
