2019-2020: WE GOT THIS! The Junior League of Syracuse is thrilled to ring in 100 years of promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women and improving the Central New York community. To commemorate this milestone the members of the Junior League of Syracuse have embarked on a year dedicated to honoring the League’s achievements of the past, present and future. This will be done through a combination of monthly projects with community partners and the establishment of a scholarship fund. Planning of these projects will begin this fall and will officially kick off in January 2020. We accomplished so much last year and we hope to build on that momentum this year. Last year we welcomed 31 new members to the Junior League of Syracuse. This brought our active membership to 100. We are excited to again offer two membership classes this year, one in the fall and one in the spring. We accomplished a lot in the community last year. We continued and built upon our STEM Expo at Danforth Middle School and will be bringing the event back this spring. We hosted another successful Valentine’s Day Tea for the women at the YWCA and plan to continue and possibly expand on the event this spring. Last year we kicked off our new community partnership with Chadwick Residence. We have our final cooking class in October and we look forward to other events with the residents this coming year. We are also in the process of exploring a couple of new community partnerships that support the League’s mission and vision. The Junior League of Syracuse had two successful fundraisers last year. Holiday Shoppes continues to be our major fundraiser. Both members and the community look forward to the event each year. We are excited to bring our fundraiser within a fundraiser back; The Sock Table will be Continued on page 2 The Junior League of Syracuse, Inc. • The NOTES • Fall 2019 | 1
