I recently had a star-struck moment when volunteering with JLW New Members, JLW Sustainer, Diane Berinstein; and JLW Treasurer, Jennie Kronthal, at the Society for the Prevention of Blindness’ American Girl Fashion Show and Tea fundraiser. There, just a few feet away from me and the young models I was in charge of for the… Read More
This time of year, we can ask the same question for both the proverbial cup and the 99th year of the Junior League of Washington: is it half empty or half full?

On December 1, I had a the pleasure of being a guest at the National Rehabilitation Hospital’s 25th Anniversary Gala Victory Awards. I was glad to have the opportunity to represent the JLW and left the evening feeling inspired by the honorees and grateful to our volunteers that chose NRH as their placement. The emcee… Read More

This year’s Walkathon drew an estimated crowd of 10,000 walkers, including many JLW members who walked with,… Read More
The JLW website provides plenty of information about our Junior League experiences. In addition to JLW’s website is the AJLI website, a place many members seldom frequent. As a transfer, it was the first place I went when I began figuring out the details of my move to DC. Not only did it provide information… Read More
I’m new to JLW and somewhat of new to the Junior League. I had just finished my first active year when I moved to DC. I was fortunate to be a part of the Junior League of St. Paul, a mid-sized league that, like the Junior League of Washington (JLW), focused many of its activities… Read More
