I have so many lovely Junior League memories. I think my favorite JLLR memory is doing my community focus shift at Kota Camp and getting to play with the kids during the dance party. I will always remember how the energy and joy in that room completely filled my heart. What an honor to get to work with the campers!

During our Spring Project at the Boys & Girls Club my new new member year, we felt confident that the kids would be wowed by the new decor, supplies, big-screen TV, furniture, and computers. And while they really appreciated everything that we did to update the early childhood room, nothing thrilled them more than the goldfish I purchased as a class pet for the big reveal. It was an incredible reminder that what you may consider a small gesture can still make a big impact to those we are fortunate enough to serve.

My favorite Junior League memory was working on our Spring Project my new member year. We completed a big update to the teen room and bathrooms at the Boys & Girls Club. We painted, cleaned, set up new computers and TVs, and purchased new furniture. In true JLLR fashion, we went above and beyond the ask. Our class worked so hard, and it was a great culmination to our year.
Mandy Ellis Keller Community Vice President
My favorite memory has been serving as Chair of Stuff the Bus as it was the project that drew me to JLLR. In 2007, I was working at Watson Elementary, and we welcomed a literal busload of JLLR members who brought us supplies our students needed and updated our library. It was an honor to give back to the school where I started my career while serving with Stuff the Bus!

My favorite memory from the Junior League is selling cookbooks at Holiday House. There were so many women who came by with the most touching, funny, and meaningful stories about meals they had made or had made for them out of the Junior League cookbooks. We raised some money, and I got plenty of great cooking tips. Our impact is far-reaching and spans generations.
