SPRING 2023

6/19/23 3:45 PM

President’s Letter Friends, Intentionally honored through service, versus fanfare or a large-scale celebration, our 95th Anniversary was one for the record books. With a focus on togetherness, connection, and community, our Members moved mountains while BOLDLY marching toward our Centennial!

In May 2022, I shared a quote a mentor regularly repeats: “Personal contact alters opinions.”

It sticks with me daily and speaks directly to the importance of the Junior League. When likeminded, passionate women gather, they are mighty. When they work as a team, they are unstoppable.

When they are BOLD, they are change-agents!

With collaboration vital to personal growth and community impact, I’m proud that our League returned to 100% in-person operations this year. The benefit of doing so was obvious, with over 14,200 volunteer hours poured into our efforts, nearly 64,000 period products distributed through Project EmpowHer, 33 live training events, and 58 interest group and social opportunities.

We welcomed the hosts of Pantsuit Politics for a community-based evening of discussion centered around embracing differences of opinion, ushered in the return of Legacy & Legends as a membership-centric event in front of hundreds of attendees, and saw our in-person fundraisers thrive! From Mistletoe Market to Whale of a Sale, our inaugural The Little Black Dress Initiative to the Annual Campaign, the League interacted with record crowds and raised funds necessary for forward progress.

Our togetherness led to success otherwise impossible!

Looking back on our League’s accomplishments fills my heart with joy, gratitude, and a tinge of sentimentalism. Joy to have a front row seat watching our good work in action. Gratitude to serve alongside Oklahoma City’s best and brightest. And Sentimentalism because while the days may seem long, the year is so very short. It’s impressive how much we achieved in 365 days!

Even after 95 years, the story of the Junior League continues to develop. While it’s a tale based on the promise of building a better community, advancing the potential of women, and leaving an indelible mark on generations to come, it’s ultimately about the power of women investing in women. Undoubtedly, the coming chapters will talk of leaders who shattered glass ceilings to create the floor on which our future will stand, reminding the reader how important it is for BOLD women to consistently say the names of other BOLD women.

I can’t wait to read all about it!

REACHING OUT STATEMENT The Junior League of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Inc. reaches out to women of all races, religions, and national origins who demonstrate an interest and a commitment to voluntarism. The Junior League of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Inc. does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion or national origin.

To the BOLDEST women I’ve ever known: Thank you for your commitment to our community and to each another. It has been a privilege to serve as your President, to proudly say your names, and to champion the influential work of the Junior League of Oklahoma City.

Be B.O.L.D., Sheena Karami Hollander President, 2022 – 2023

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION The Junior League of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Inc. welcomes all women who value our Mission. We are committed to inclusive environments of diverse individuals, organizations and communities.

“BOLD women know the importance of betting on themselves. When you bet on yourself, you turn what was your ceiling into your floor.”

General Membership Meetings

By Marcella Morgan, League Link Committee Member

he Junior League of Oklahoma City’s General Membership Meetings (GMMs) this year were jam-packed with motivational and inspiring speakers, networking opportunities and Member-focused experiences built around the yearly theme of “Be BOLD”. We started the year off strong, with the opportunity to hear from John Bobb-Semple who spoke to Membership about identifying our “Bridge Builder” and leadership pollinator style and honing in on those qualities and characteristics to help make JLOC and the community better.

This year, each GMM had a theme to encourage participation and attendance. These ranged from tailgates to Golden Girls to Mardi Gras. It was a fun time to see all the Members that dressed the part! The Special Thanks & Recognition (STAR) Award was brought back for our 95th Anniversary, and it proved to be inspiring for Membership to see and hear of all the great things that our “Eager Leaguers” do to stand out.

At the GMMs, we also had a chance to visit with our community partners so that Members

could hear history of our partnerships and really understand that the volunteer service that we provide for these organizations is greatly appreciated! For the April GMM, we had the pleasure of hearing from Linda Clark. Linda’s presentation was filled with honesty and encouragement to continue to be our genuine selves as we support JLOC and our community.

May General Membership Meeting: Celebrating JLOC’s 95th Anniversary

By Jennifer Grover, League Link Editor

O

n May 9, 2023, 282 JLOC Members gathered to honor the traditions of the past 95 years, celebrate the successes of the 2022-23 League year and give a nod to the League’s continued hope for the future.

At the May General Membership Meeting (GMM), JLOC continued one of its most valued traditions, the Passing of the Gavel. Thirteen Past Presidents joined current 2022-23 JLOC President Sheena Karami Hollander to pass the Presidential

Gavel down to the new 2023-24 JLOC President Adrienne Nobles. Sheena gave her closing remarks, and Adrienne delivered her opening remarks for the coming 2023-24 League year.

To close out to 2022-23 League year, Members celebrated many great accomplishments. In Sheena’s closing remarks as President, she praised the League’s ability to not only go back to 100% in-person operations, but the League’s ability to thrive and exceed expectations in the in-person atmosphere.

This year, JLOC volunteers poured more than 14,279 volunteer hours into the Oklahoma City Community for a total of $454,099.55. That is 7,669 hours more than contributed last year!

JLOC more than doubled our volunteer hours from 2021-22. During 2022-23, the League

brought back Legacy & Legends, bolstered our current community partnerships, added two new community partnerships, distributed 63,745 period products for Project EmpowHer, hosted 33 training events and 58 interest group and social opportunities.

In addition to League-wide accomplishments, the GMM also allowed us to celebrate individual Members. Marcella Morgan and Darian McPherson were recognized as the final STAR Award recipients for the 2022-23 League year. Both ladies were honored because they went above and beyond to support the League and its Members. 2022-23 Membership Service Awards were also given to those Members that met Membership milestones. (For a list of those Members, see page 39.)

The May GMM is always a great celebration for the Provisional Class as they are recognized for completing their requirements and moving into Active Member status. Fifty-nine Provisionals were recognized and welcomed as new Active Members.

JLOC HQ’s Operations Coordinator and Active Member, Emily Eudy, surprised President Sheena Karami Hollander with a special honor from the United States Department of Defense for her support of Emily during Emily’s deployment with the Coast Guard during the 2022-23 League year.

LOOKING AHEAD WITH 2023-24 JLOC PRESIDENT ADRIENNE NOBLES What do you love about JLOC? I love connecting with people I may never have crossed paths with if not for JLOC. I love the opportunity to not only use my talents and skills to serve the organization, but to also try new things and develop new skills through trainings and placements. And finally, I love being a part of the JLOC history that has and continues to make a lasting impact on Oklahoma City.

What do you hope to contribute to JLOC and the wider OKC community through your role as President? By the time you actually become President,

it is more about implementing and supporting your fellow leaders to shore up the future of the League. I have had years of training and excellent examples of leadership during my time in the League. I hope I am able to contribute continuity,

stability, joy and excitement for the future. I want to build up our bench of leaders and engaged Members as we head toward our centennial.

What are your goals for your tenure as President?

My goals include continuing the momentum built by my predecessor, Sheena Karami Hollander, in returning to a primarily in-person Member experience and strengthening Membership engagement and value.

In a post-pandemic world, connection is as vital as it’s ever been for our health and wellbeing.

To me, that’s one of the most unique parts of our value proposition. You can volunteer other places.

You can find a training with other organizations.

You can meet people in different places. But JLOC offers a way to not only do all three…but to do them in truly impactful and creative ways that

result in deep connections and lifelong friends.

When we strengthen Membership engagement, we strengthen JLOC’s potential to impact our community.

Making Mistletoe Magic in 2022

By Jennifer Grover, League Link Editor

T

he 2022-23 Mistletoe Market began with Preview Party on Thursday, Nov. 3 and continued through Sunday, Nov. 6 at the Oklahoma City Convention Center.

Mistletoe Market continues the Junior League of Oklahoma City tradition of hosting Oklahoma City’s premier shopping event. With 104 merchants, 147 volunteers and more than 441 volunteer hours, JLOC raised $137,140 to help support leadership trainings and its health-based community projects throughout the Oklahoma City community. An impressive 5,076 shoppers attended Mistletoe Market and helped make it a rousing success.

This year’s Mistletoe Market Committee was led by Co-Chairs Daysha Johnson (Active) and

Kathleen O’Toole (Sustainer).

Johnson praised the committee saying, “My favorite memory of Mistletoe Market this year was working with such an amazing Committee, a group of women who not only had the skills and bravery to take on Mistletoe Market, but also the passion and heart.”

“We are grateful for all of the people who made Mistletoe Market happen, the merchants, vendors, JLOC Members and everyone else involved. It takes a village, a very large one, to make Market run and be successful,” Johnson said. “After nearly 30 years, Mistletoe Market is still going strong, and I am happy that I had the opportunity to be a part of something so dear to JLOC that benefits the OKC community and our amazing community partners.”

Special Events: Preview Party The Mistletoe Market Special Event Committee hosted several events over the course of the weekend, starting with the beloved Preview Party on Thursday. Sponsored by Sustaining Members Sue Ann Hyde and Betsy Mantor, the Preview Party event made its return to an indoor event, welcoming more than 300 people to experience the shopping mecca for the first time. Guests were serenaded by pianist Shaun Suttle while they shopped, browsed auction items and won some special door prizes from our Merchants.

Sunday Funday The weekend rounded out with Sunday Funday, an event sponsored by The Market at Northpark, Supporting Strategies and a small group of Mistletoe Market Merchants.

Guests received brunch bites, unlimited mimosas and a coupon book featuring discounts or free gifts with purchase from each of the sponsoring merchants.

“Sunday Funday was a brand-new event this year, but I’m hoping it can become a staple at Market,” said Whitney Tatum, Mistletoe Market Special Event Co-Chair.

“We made it our goal to host events that were fundraisers in their own right, and we were successful in that. Every special event was profitable for Mistletoe Market, and I’m so proud of that.”

2 Sponsored by Pat’s Tire & Auto, the Mistletoe Market’s childrens event, Mistletoe Magic, returned for the first time since 2019 with a very special appearance from Santa himself. The event not

only featured crafts, refreshments and Santa, but also two live reindeer from the Oklahoma Reindeer Club. Grace, a rare female, joined Yukon, a beautiful male, for a special visit, while families

3 learned about everything from the dense coat to the antlers before having a special photo opportunity with Santa.

embers BOLDly volunteered throughout Oklahoma City to support JLOC’s community partners through various Community Impact Events (CIE) in 2022-23. CIE is a unique placement that allows League Members to support several partner organizations throughout the year. Jamie Benda and Pooja Singhal were 2022-23 Community Impact Events Project Managers.

Th is year, CIE volunteers made an impact by helping children in foster care shop for back-to-school supplies at Citizens Caring for Children, supporting DreamNight at the Oklahoma City Zoo, providing STEAM learning activities at Geekapalooza with Girl Scouts of Western Oklahoma and decorating Positive Tomorrows for the holidays. CIE volunteers wrapped up the year with spring activities supporting the Oklahoma City Zoo’s literacy activities from children at the

Read Across Oklahoma event in April and the Girls on the Run 5k event in May. More than 670 foster kids are served at Back2School, where they get to “shop” for school supplies and clothes. Some volunteers help stock and prepare the floor, while others are personal shoppers for the kids. The Back2School program provides one new outfit, shoes, a backpack and school supplies.

Committee Highlight:

Research, Education and Development (READ) Committee

T

he Research, Education and Development (READ) Committee coordinates ongoing research to identify community needs and Junior League interests. The Committee uses this information to develop projects and programs for JLOC Members and works to promote voluntarism through partnerships with the community.

Over the 2022-23 Junior League year, the READ Committee worked to develop two new community placement opportunities for Junior League of Oklahoma City volunteers at ReMerge Oklahoma and City Care. These new community placement opportunities are a unique way for Members to engage in the

Oklahoma City community through providing educational resources to mothers facing non-violent felony offenses and providing direct assistance to the pets of our unhoused neighbors.

“It has been such an honor to lead the READ Committee this past year. I am so proud of the READ Committee’s hard work and accomplishments in developing the two new community placement opportunities. I am so excited to see these placements grow as Junior League volunteers begin to serve the community at ReMerge Oklahoma and City Care in the upcoming League year,” said Myriah Downs, READ Committee Chair.

New Community Project Supporting Women with ReMerge CONNECTION TO JLOC VISION & MISSION

The Junior League’s new community project with ReMerge Oklahoma focuses on developing the potential of women through education by supporting and tutoring ReMerge Oklahoma clients as they seek the completion of a GED. The project supports the JLOC focus of health, as research shows that people who have completed high school or GED programs live longer and have better health outcomes. Research also informs us that children will complete the same level as education

of their parents and often go beyond that level.

By supporting the clients of ReMerge Oklahoma to complete their GEDs, we are also impacting the health outcomes for the children of clients. The JLOC project with ReMerge Oklahoma supports JLOC’s focus of alignment and enrichment of lives through an intentional partnership.

to study and prepare to complete their GED. Once the client has taken the HiSET (GED), volunteers can follow up with the client to celebrate or to review and work on areas of improvement.

WHAT MAKES THIS PROJECT UNIQUE

This project will be a one-on-one project, and while JLOC volunteers can sign up to attend together, they will be responsible for making a schedule with the ReMerge Oklahoma client and meeting with them regularly.

PLACEMENT DESCRIPTION

JLOC volunteers will work with clients of ReMerge Oklahoma who have not completed high school

New Community Project: Pet Hotel at City Care CONNECTION TO JLOC VISION & MISSION

The Junior League’s new community project with City Care focuses on homelessness and poverty as a community health issue. City Care is dedicated to empowering JLOC volunteers to provide a community health response impacting the Oklahoma City metro community, and JLOC will be at the forefront of change to build a better Oklahoma City. City Care’s Night Shelter was created to be the beacon of light for those who have been turned away everywhere else and need respite. City

Care considers it to be the front door - an opportunity to connect with the most vulnerable and get them into permanent housing solutions as quickly as possible.

opportunity to support the homeless population of Oklahoma City.

This new community project was created in response to feedback from a survey that was led by the READ Committee. The survey indicated that working with the homeless population in Oklahoma City is an area of interest and concern of JLOC Members. The READ Committee noted the interest and worked hard to create a project to meet this need.

This project will focus on working with animals.

Project EmpowHer T

he Junior League of Oklahoma City continues to work tirelessly to support its signature project, Project EmpowHer. JLOC currently has 36 community partners.

During the 2022-23 League year, Project EmpowHer distributed 50,985 pads and 12,760 tampons to its partners and individuals in need!

Project EmpowHer was led this year by Chair Amanda McCellon and Vice Chair Jenefar de Leon Cossey.

Project EmpowHer was busy this year.

Project EmpowHer Committee Members volunteered with OG&E and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.’s International Women’s Day Fun Run and period product donation drive, benefiting Project EmpowHer. Jenefar and Stephanie Hinton, Community VP, spoke to attendees about Project EmpowHer and how community and business partners genuinely make an

1

impact to end period poverty in Oklahoma City.

JLOC Members also supported an OG&E and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.’s Period Product Packing Party in late March. Those organizations donated and packed products for Project EmpowHer. All donations gathered will be donated to JLOC community partners, Pivot and the Oklahoma City Public Schools.

Beginning with the 2023-24 League year, Project EmpowHer will no longer just be a community placement, but will focus efforts to be a League-wide signature project.

by OG&E were distributed to JLOC’s partner agency, Infant Crisis Services.

Saying Goodbye to Dress for Success JLOC’s Dress for Success community project had to sunset mid-year due to a realignment with the Department of Corrections.

This realignment had all individuals at the Oklahoma City facility reassigned or moved to a facility that was over two hours away, leaving JLOC unable to complete our commitment to the organization as it stood. While this was a true loss to our Membership as a Community Project, the sunset went smoothly. We reassigned all members to their next choice in their Community Project or they were placed on a LOA as requested, one Member was working on a transfer to a new League.

Assistant Director for Dress for Success Melissa Baez shared with us via email: “We are so heartbroken about all the changes and hope we can find an opportunity to work with you all again in the future. Please let the volunteers know how much we appreciate them and all the work they've put in. This was a great project for us, and you did so much for our clients.”

Supporting Healthy Practices with YWCA YWCA Oklahoma City works to empower new beginnings for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking in our community. JLOC volunteers have the unique opportunity make a difference by encouraging women

and children in their time of crisis. At weekly project sessions, volunteers share information on topics such as nutrition, health and exercise, or self-care and often plan a fun craft or bring a healthy snack to share. Volunteers aim to provide a positive, safe space where YWCA participants can renew their spirit, learn new skills and create fun memories with JLOC volunteers. This year, JLOC volunteers were led by Co-Project Managers, Danyale Matthews and Emily Carmichael.

The Children’s Hospital Prom is back!

O

n April 1, for the first time in almost three years, Junior League of Oklahoma City collaborated with the OU Children’s Hospital to hold an in-person prom.

The theme was Boots and Bow Ties.

The event included a pre-prom event where the OU Children's Hospital patients could pick out dresses, shirts and ties, and get alterations, if needed. The children were able to get their hair and makeup done, pick out a piece of jewelry from Kendra Scott, get their nails done and take pictures with a backdrop. The kids also had the opportunity to make their own corsages and boutonnieres, along with other crafts.

All patients, siblings and parents were welcome to participate in this event. The prom was held in the Samis Education Center at the OU Children’s Hospital. At the prom, the children got to enjoy a full night of dancing, photobooths, dinner, cookies and special appearances from Rumble the Bison and the University of Oklahoma Spirit Programs. The night ended with the excitement of crowning Prom King and Queen!

“For me, the best part of volunteering with the Children’s Hospital Events this year was having prom back in-person. We kept hearing how

happy everyone was to be back in-person and get to do all the activities they used to do before COVID. To also see all the hard work that the volunteers put in come to fruition was so neat as well. Everything turned out better than expected, and all the kids had such a great time,” shared Mayra Hernandez, Project Manager.

Starting with the 2023-24 League year, Children’s Hospital Prom will be supported by JLOC as an event within the Community Impact Events placement.

FO O D A N D FUN AT

Junior League volunteers participate in a variety of activities with the youth at Pivot, A Turning Point for Youth to encourage healthy habits and life skills for those youth who are staying at Pivot’s Family Junction shelter and its Tiny Homes community. JLOC Pivot volunteers were led by Project Manager Edith Gilyard.

Concordia Senior Living aims to create a community of individuals who share a common ground and common bond, bringing respect, support and joy to each other’s lives, thus creating a feeling of belonging to an extended family. Junior League volunteers work with residents in this unique community by leading engaging activities to keep residents’ minds and bodies active.

This year, volunteers have helped community

members stay mentally and physically active in activities that include trivia and memory games, ornament decorating, coaster making, a mini carnival, a welcome luau and more. With all of these fun and engaging activities, residents say that visits from Junior League volunteers are their favorite time of the week. Residents and volunteers work together to build a lasting community. JLOC volunteers were led by Project Manager Lynda Backström.

This year, JLOC volunteers hosted a shopping and budgeting event where the youth, ages 12-17, were given money to buy a variety of purchased and donated items.

Volunteers were able to share education about budgeting, taxes on goods and saving for purchases. JLOC also led an impactful activity about long-term goal setting. Volunteers shared steps on accomplishing goals and heard from the youth about some of their goals for the future and their plans to make those goals a reality.

JLOC also developed a way to support Pivot's growing Tiny Homes community by making donations of toiletry items and some education about hygiene habits and life skills.

Pivot’s Tiny Homes community provides affordable and stable housing for young adults in crisis by supporting them through their unique and vulnerable needs. Pivot helps its young adult residents find access to services that will allow them to develop skills to become self-reliant adults with a plan to achieve long-term success.

Changing Lives

Kids in the Kitchen and Top Chef

with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County

G

ood nutrition is so important!

Teaching young students to eat food with sustenance and quality ingredients helps their overall health which in turn helps them be successful in school.

JLOC volunteers at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County educate children on a variety of interactive healthy eating topics.

JLOC Volunteers sign up for weekly sessions either for the Kids in the Kitchen or Top Chef program. Kids in the Kitchen volunteers give a lesson on healthy nutritional habits and provide a fun and healthy snack for the children to make during the lesson.

Project Manager, Alley Cottrell described her favorite part about this community placement, “It has been so much fun seeing the Top Chef kids become more and more confident in their kitchen skills! My favorite memory was probably watching the students successfully execute a steak dinner with gouda mac and cheese and green beans!”

JLOC’s Kids in the Kitchen/Top Chef placement also celebrated a special accomplishment this year. One of the students who has participated in JLOC activities at the Boys & Girls Club of Oklahoma County since elementary school is graduating high school

this year and will be going to college! She often exclaims how happy she is that she will have cooking skills to take with her when she is living on her own and will be responsible for feeding herself.

KIDS ON TRACK PARTICIPANT WINS FIRST PLACE JLOC volunteers for the Kids on Track placement work with children at the Boys & Girls Club of Oklahoma County to promote healthy lifestyles through exercise. Kids on Track meets every Monday. Volunteers spend an hour with the kids working on running and healthy activities and games, followed by health snacks.

Rachel Benbrook and Kelsey Henry were Project Managers for the Kids on Track community placement for 2022-23.

This year, 18 kids were involved with the Kids

Infant Crisis Services JLOC Members in the Infant Crisis Services (ICS) community placement serve at monthly diaper packing sessions. ICS serves babies and toddlers under the age of four by providing formula, diapers, food, blankets, clothing and other basic necessities.

Volunteers assist ICS by creating diaper packs for infants and toddlers.

JLOC donated almost $7,000 worth of diapers to ICS to support this mission.

Volunteers count, sort, and pack diapers that ICS then distributes to its clients.

To date, during this League year, JLOC volunteers have packed over 45,430 individual diapers and over 1,022 infants and toddlers (diaper packs usually include about 40-50 diapers a piece).

Sarah DeWitt was Project Manager for the JLOC Infant Crisis Services community placement for 2022-23.

Pantsuit Politics:

Prioritizing Relationships Over Politics

o

By Hayley Moore, Education & Development Vice President

ver the past few years, we have all been in a conversation with someone and thought, “I think you’re wrong, but I’m listening.”

It is well-known and practiced etiquette to exclude politics from social conversations, but over the past few years, it has become nearly impossible not to inevitably cross a topic that is politically adjacent, if not full-blown politically charged.

On September 29, we featured the co-hosts of the popular Pantsuit Politics podcast, Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers, at a speaking

JLOC Members meet with Pantsuit Politics cohosts, Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers.

event at Camp Trivera. The Girls Scouts of Western Oklahoma generously partnered with JLOC to enable nearly 150 people to attend the event at their beautiful new facility.

Sarah and Beth spoke to members of JLOC, as well as members of the Oklahoma City community, about the importance of having respectful discussions about policy that don’t divide us, but instead, help us understand the differing perspectives in a respectful way that, with intention, can create more acceptance and care for those around us.

President Sheena Karami Hollander understands the importance of navigating

conversations in today’s politically-charged atmosphere: “Partnering with Pantsuit Politics was a wonderful opportunity for JLOC to engage both our members and the community in a public forum. Our leaders know first-hand the importance of navigating difficult conversations, as doing so helps us understand the different perspectives of our shared community.

In line with JLOC’s values, Beth and Sarah reaffirmed the importance of prioritizing people over politics and embracing what matters most, while staying true to our vision of impacting the community and enriching lives.”

The event included a book signing with Sarah and Beth for sponsors and special guests and a Q&A to help answer difficult questions that we all face in our everyday interactions with friends and co-workers.

Sponsors were University of Central Oklahoma Public Affairs, Ryan Whaley Attorneys and Ragnar Research Partners. Let’s Fix This OK also supported the event.

LOC’s Leadership Institute provides a valuable opportunity for JLOC Members to learn from subject matter experts about negotiation topics that are applicable to all facets of life.

Led by Megan Sittig, this was the second year that the Leadership Institute used the book Negotiate a Life You Love: the 5 Tactics to Get What You Want

in Life, Love and Work by Dr. Meg Myers Morgan as its springboard. The book and the Leadership Institute encourage participants to develop their negotiation skills in all areas of life. For the final meeting of the Leadership Institute, author Meg Myers Morgan joined the cohort to give a special presentation about negotiation, collaboration and knowing your worth.

JLOC Commits to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Committee met this year for the first time as an official JLOC Committee. The committee is comprised of appointed leaders from each Council, Members of the Board of Directors and additional Members-at-Large to allow for a diverse make-up of committee members. The Committee was formed from the DEI Task Force that was organized two years ago to address the desire

of our Members to take steps to be a more inclusive organization. The DEI Task Force surveyed Membership and then laid out the ground work for the DEIB Committee to put in to place.

The "Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion" statement was added to our website and is also included on the meeting agenda template for all committees to utilize to make sure Membership is informed and aware of the statement. That was a small step towards

incorporating ideas and discussions of diversity and inclusion in materials used by our Membership.

Creating an inclusive environment is not just directed at our Membership but also in the organizations and partnerships that we form throughout the years. This year, the DEIB Committee focused on creating a diversity matrix for Mistletoe Market and Whale of a Sale. Making sure to have a variety of merchants is important in the people that are attracted to the Junior League through our fundraisers. This same model was also used to look at how our programming was formed. This includes GMMs, trainings and programs that JLOC holds throughout the year.

ANN STEPHENSON CAMERON President’s Spirit of Commitment Award Ann Stephenson Camerson has been a dedicated community volunteer for many non-profit organizations, including JLOC for more than 25 years. Her high energy, outgoing personality, intense passion and determined spirit inevitably put her in leadership roles with each organization she served. Ann has an insatiable willingness to take on the hard jobs, and she never met a challenge she didn’t embrace.

Ann recalls some of her favorite placements and loved her time at Coffee Creek Riding Center and at the Boys & Girls Club, as well as serving in many of the early literacy programs.

She was part of the OKC Metro Literacy Coalition task force and the League’s 10-year focus on Changing Lives through Literacy.

Ann served as JLOC President in 200910 and spearheaded, with the help of her Sustaining Advisor Kris Frankfurt, a research

project and history of JLOC, which was on exhibit at the Oklahoma History Museum for seven years. In 2018, she chaired the 90th anniversary Jungle Gym expansion and renovation at the OKC Zoo. Ann has enjoyed working on numerous causes and events across the city. She was chair of the Oklahoma Humane Society’s Hero Awards, The Last Frontier Council’s Sporting Clays, the Girl Scouts of Western Oklahoma’s Juliette Low Leadership Society and the Bill Teegins/McBride Foundation Golf Charity to name just a few. She was co-chair of the community outreach campaign for the YWCA and Ann was in Leadership OKC Class XXVII. Ann is married to Alex and mom to Sarah and Scott. Ann and her husband recently moved to Washington, D.C. She says she misses OKC, the people and great community.

And, she promises to find a way to advocate for Oklahoma from afar! Ann was unable to attend the in-person event but had a beautiful table with well-wishes and sent a video for the event.

Active Member Since 2019 2022-23 Placement: Community Impact Events 2023-24 Placement: Community Impact Events Project Manager Why did you join JLOC? Growing up, I was an active member of 4-H for nine years and enjoyed participating in volunteer and leadership activities. I loved helping others, having learning opportunities and impacting the local community. After college, I lived in a new city, didn’t have friends outside of work and felt like something was missing. A client introduced me to Junior League in 2018. Since then, I’ve been honored to be a part of a beautiful organization surrounded by inspiring women devoted to voluntarism.

I joined JLOC because I wanted to be around other like-minded women that had a passion for volunteering in their community just as I did and still do to this day. I was ready to join an organization that took pride in empowering its Members to serve the community

What Junior League accomplishments are you most proud of? I am most proud of my time volunteering with Community Impact Events this year. Every community event felt meaningful.

Take advantage of the opportunities available to you.

Say ‘yes’ to those opportunities even if you have little experience or it’s out of your comfort zone. The Junior League is a great place to learn new skills, grow and connect with passionate women.

Also, be willing to learn from others, take the time to get to know one another and cheer each other on to success. I love to see empowered women empowering other women!

through training and developing them as leaders.

What impact do your feel you have had in the community during your tenure in the Junior League?

During my five years as a Member, I have been a dedicated volunteer to my In-League and Community Placements. I have empowered others to continue to volunteer, and I have empowered women around me to step out of their comfort zones and lead.

What Junior League or life accomplishments are you most proud of? I am most proud of my life accomplishment of being a guardian to my three nephews for the past five years. Raising my nephews with the tremendous help of my momma has been my most worthwhile accomplishment. The days were not always easy, but I am thankful that I was willing and able to care for three young boys that I hope will one day grow up and know that their Auntie loves them will all her heart.

What do you hope to contribute to JLOC and the wider Oklahoma City community? I started my first-year active year as the Project EmpowHER Programming Coordinator. This coincided with the ongoing global pandemic which made Project EmpowHer’s mission all the more relevant. It was my goal at that point, to do everything I could to help Project EmpowHer thrive.

Why did you join the Junior League of Oklahoma City? When I lived in Florida, I volunteered at the local science center mentoring girls in their GEMS (Girls Excelling in Math and Science) club. While volunteering there, I learned that Junior League of the Palm Beaches originally founded that science center. That led me to learn more about the organization when I was moving to Oklahoma City in 2022. I was really excited to be able to join an organization of women that are passionate about serving our community. I couldn’t ask for a better way to start building a network here in OKC. What is your favorite part of the Junior League so far? The women I’ve met through the League.

Everyone has been so welcoming and kind! I must give a special shout out my Team Purple Provisional group. We’ve developed a very strong bond! Our PAT Advisor, Marcella Morgan, has really made this experience special for us.

By Natalie Fix, Communications Vice President

T

here’s no way Sustaining Members could feel disengaged with the wide variety of activities that were planned for them this year. With everything from happy hours to art classes, tours of a film studio and the 1 OKC Zoo, there was something for everyone as JLOC got back into the full swing of activities.

Sustainer Engagement Co-Chairs Christi Coyle and Tracey Frederick planned a fun range of activities and

2

events to engage JLOC Sustainers and even made room for Actives at some of their events.

Kicking off the year, the Co-Chairs made sure to cover a range of interests and schedule availabilities. Members enjoyed time socializing as well as learning new things. During a naughty needlework night at OK Contemporary, Members laughed together and creatively expressed their thoughts through art.

YWCA. Community involvement was the main reason I connected with the League. I will also serve as a Member-at-Large with the Community Council which will help me learn more about how JLOC works and will allow me to contribute to the Community Council. Additionally, I have been able to join the Transfer Committee. Being new to OKC myself, it’s been nice to meet other Members that have recently relocated. I hope to be a helpful resource to future JLOC members that are new to the area.

What other organizations are you involved with? I’m proud to currently serve as the Chair for our women’s employee resource group at Pratt & Whitney. In addition to that, I’m a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc and the Society of Women Engineers. I am very passionate about volunteering with organizations that provide STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education resources to K-12 students. I also actively volunteer with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Past Presidents welcomed Sustainer Members to an event at the Oklahoma City Zoo, showed off some new developments on their grounds and discussed what’s upcoming. Not even the threat of hail could ruin a fun night at the Zoo! Before the May GMM, Sustainers gathered at Linda Howell’s gallery for an afternoon of conversation and fun.

We can’t wait to see what activities and fun Sustainer Engagement Co-Chairs Margo Ward and Kathryn 4 Wilson Wheeler come up with for the 2023-24 League year.

Kelli Hilgenfeld Porter President-Elect Active Member Since 2016 What are your goals for your

tenure as President-Elect and President? My goal as PresidentElect and President is to continue to focus on growing and strengthening our Membership.

Our Members are the heart of our organization, and it is vital that they feel connected, engaged and enthusiastic about being a part of JLOC. As President-Elect, I want to focus on supporting and learning from our next President, Adrienne Nobles. As President, I will focus on leading the Board of Directors by aiding and supporting each Member to be successful in their position.

Serving on the Historical Preservation Committee is something I am really looking forward to as we approach the 100th anniversary of the League and look back on our rich

history. I think it is important we continue to educate current Members on our history and communicate that with the community as well.

Favorite Book: Brene Brown books have changed me (for the better). I love The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are and Dare to Lead: Brave Work.

Fundraising VP Active Member Since 2018 What has been your favorite placement with JLOC? Many would assume I would say Mistletoe Market, which I do love! But my favorite placement is and always will be Pivot. Those kids have my heart, and I cannot wait to get back there.

Favorite quote: “Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.” —Walt Whitman

Membership VP Active Member Since 2016 What do you love about JLOC? While I’ve always been committed to our work in the community, there is something truly unique about how and why we invest in our Members and empower them to success. You can only see a person’s passion and talents when you invest in them. The professional and personal development trainings, education and relationships offered by JLOC result in confident, empowered leaders who use what they’ve learned in the League and apply it to every aspect of their lives, making them stronger members of the community.

Nominating Chair Active Member Since 2007 What has been your favorite placement with JLOC? There have been many, but probably my favorite has been Hospitality Co-Chair of the 90th Anniversary Project – Updating the OKC Zoo Playground. It was truly inspiring to see what JLOC and the OKC community can accomplish when we work together.

Favorite book: “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. I read it every year!

Sustaining Advisor 2014-15 President If you could give advice to a Provisional or Active Member, what would you say? Put yourself out there. If there is a leadership role or a community placement you are interested in, go for it! Don’t wait to be asked. Life doesn’t work that way, and neither does the League. It’s up to you to be your own champion. If you don’t tell anyone you’d like to do it, nobody will know!

Favorite quote: “Nothing can dim the light which shines from withing.” —Maya Angelou

Chief of Staff Active Member Since 2010 What has been your favorite placement with JLOC? Hands down my favorite placement has been Prom Night at the Children’s hospital!

I was the READ developer on this project and once it was developed was fortunate enough to be the Project Manager. It was so rewarding to see this idea go from just a suggestion on paper to a fullblown event. The reactions of the children, parents and staff on their first prom night will stay with me forever!

Being Bold

Provisional Class Starts Strong by Volunteering & Building Relationships

By Marcella Morgan, PAT Advisor

T

he 2022-23 Provisional class was very active throughout the 2022-23 League year. The Provisional class started out their League year by attending a team building retreat. The retreat served as a time for the women to meet their color groups and advisors in-person. The Provisional Committees that they selected also had time to meet and discuss a brief game plan for meetings. Throughout the year, Provisionals had required activities, courses, meetings and socials that they attended that introduced them to the League. Provisionals were also able to meet up at the General Membership Meetings and other events to socialize with Actives and Sustainers.

Community Projects For the Provisional’s community projects, the Provisional Community Committee chose to support Infant Crisis Services in the fall and Positive Tomorrows in the spring. At Infant Crisis Services, the Provisionals took a tour and packaged diapers to be given to the clients that Infant Crisis Services supports.

In the spring, the Committee chose to create “Hope Bags” for the 125 students and siblings that attend Positive Tomorrows. The committee set up an Amazon wish list and obtained books from an Usborne vendor to be included in the bags. We were also able to include a copy of our signature book, Goodnight OKC, in each bag, thanks to our very own Provisional Member Jen Thomas! The Committee’s Co-Leads were Candice Bacon and Karen Meyer.

Team Building at the OKC Zoo For their spring team building retreat, the Provisionals were hosted at the Oklahoma City Zoo. The Provisionals had the opportunity to help beautify the Zoo and clean-up the “Jungle Gym”, the playground that was donated to the Zoo on behalf of the Junior League of Oklahoma City for the JLOC’s 90th Anniversary. While at the Zoo, the Provisionals also had the opportunity to build feeder boxes for the animals. These boxes were nailed together and then the bamboo was glued inside the boxes with various heights to provide dimension and allow for a variety of treats to be placed in the bamboo.

Little Black Dress Initiative In March 2023, the Provisional class participated in an AJLI-approved fundraiser to raise awareness for those experiencing poverty and to raise money to support JLOC’s community projects. Th is initiative, called the Little Black Dress Initiative, was a week-long, social media-drive campaign focused on raising funds to support our community impact focus of health and wellness.

Participants were tasked with wearing the same black dress or outfit for five straight days. The Provisionals met to kick off the week and were given posts to share on social media to encourage donations and raise awareness for those that suffer from poverty. In this first year of hosting this event, the Provisional class raised an impressive $2,977 for JLOC community projects.

Meet the Editor:

Jennifer Grover Active Member Since 2021 2022-23 Placement: League Link Editor, Leadership Institute, Education & Development Networking & Social Committee, Wine Lovers Interest Group 2023-24 Placement: Mistletoe Market Personnel Chair, Community Impact Events, Education & Development Networking & Social Committee, Transfer Committee Why did you join JLOC? I joined the Junior League during Covid, in 2020. I initially joined for networking purposes, but I have stayed because I have found so much more. I have made great relationships, many of which I know will continue to grow.

What advice do you have for Provisional or Active Junior League Members? There is something for

everyone in the League. And, what you get from the League continues to change and evolve the longer you are in the League. Be open to new experiences and life lessons.

What is your career field? I work in international education and exchange, with a focus on Europe and cultural relations. I have had the great opportunity to travel to many beautiful places and meet incredible people from all over the world.

What is a personal or professional goal that you have? I have started to study

to be a sommelier so that I can gain the knowledge and skills to one-day manage a winery. That is part of the reason that I started the Wine Lovers Interest Group. I love being able to share my studies and training with my fellow JLOC Members.

What is one thing on your bucket list? I want to travel to all 50 states. I only have 4 states remaining, and after this summer, the only state that I will have not visited is Hawaii. (I’m thinking - ladies trip!)

Favorite Quote: “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.” —The Lorax
