Welcome to the 2020-2021 league year of the Junior League of Syracuse! Back in March the pandemic hit and the JLS went remote. At that time, we hoped that we would be getting back to “normal” operations by the end of April. Instead we are now in a new league year, still facing unchartered territory while continually adapting to the “new” normal. What has remained consistent through the crisis is the community’s need for organizations like the JLS to serve the women and children of Central New York. We have resumed operations in a manner that is consistent with state and

local guidelines, and that puts our member’s and community partner’s health and safety, first and foremost. Last year started with a bang. We completed our final cooking class with Chadwick residence in October. We had another successful Holiday Shoppes fundraiser in November. We hosted another wonderful Valentine’s Day Tea for the women of the YWCA in February. In addition, we were celebrating the first half of a major milestone year. January marked the beginning of our 100th year of promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women while simultaneously serving and improving Central New continued on page 2
