From the President
Dear Junior League of San Angelo Members, Community & Community Partners:I am thrilled and honored to be your 2023-2024 President and leader this year. I have been blessed the past six years to be a part of such an amazing organization of women. The theme this year is Lead to Serve, and I truly believe each of us lead to serve our community in abundant ways! Over the past six years I have seen thousands of community hours served right here in the concho valley. This year we welcome a Provisional class of 38 new members eager to learn about our projects, community partnerships, organization and legacy projects. With the partnership of The Children’s Advocacy Center, our Family Resource Center has now been open, operating and filling requests for the past four years. The Junior League Student Closet program will be fully passed on to The Children’s Advocacy Center in 2024. As we transition The Student Closet project on, our hope and goals are to bring a new project into The Junior League of San Angelo to start and grow. Junior League’s PACK committee (Personally Available Care Kits) worked closely with four schools last school year and will provide hygiene packs to another four schools this coming school year with the help of our grant & funding we received from The Archer Foundation, Eva Tucker Foundation, and San Angelo Health Foundation. The Children’s Literacy Project has three completed story walks located at Kirby Park, Unidad Park and Martin Luther King Jr. Park. The committee handed out over 700 books this past year to promote literacy within children. Our Provisional members will host “Kids in the Kitchen” at SAMFA Family Days this fall & spring. Along with their annual event “Healthy Hearts Early Starts” that helps against child obesity and teaches children healthy habits. Done in a Day will continue to help serve a need that can be done in a day or shift with local partners and organizations. The committee successfully held the first annual Homerun Heroes baseball event for special needs children in March 2023. Touch a Truck was held at Foster Coliseum which attracted hundreds of people for the free community event we provide each year. JLSA is grateful to have a free event to give back to San Angelo each spring. As the 77th year of Junior League begins, I am very thankful for all of the love, donors, sponsors and support we receive year after year. It’s truly a blessing to change the lives of so many in numerous ways! The Junior League of San Angelo would not be able to serve if it wasn’t for the village that stands tall behind and with us. I can’t wait to see the impact the organization continues to make and watch as each of us Lead to Serve! Thank you all for the opportunity & blessing to serve as President of The Junior League of San Angelo this year. I am so proud of what all we have accomplished and the lives we have changed. Let’s all take this year and LEAD TO SERVE!2023-2024 Junior League of San Angelo President
