Junior League of Richmond

The Junior League of Richmond invites you to our 8th annual Junior Book & Author event!

This year we are honored to welcome award-winning author, Graham Salisbury, to Richmond. Graham's well-loved books are inspired by his early life, growing up in Hawaii during World War II - full of adventure, fun, and history. Some of his best-known works include: Under the Blood-Red Sun, Lord of the Deep, Eyes of the Emperor, and Blue Skin of the Sea, and the Calvin Coconut series.

Kids in the Kitchen

Kids in the Kitchen is a national program established by the Association of Junior Leagues International to empower youth to make healthy lifestyle choices and help reverse the growth of childhood obesity and its associated health issues.

It provides a forum for educational information and hands on demonstrations such as the preparation of nutritious meals. It also increases students’ awareness of the need for healthy habits. Children are able to participate in games, martial arts, yoga, golf, storytelling and more.

The YMCA Bright Beginnings and the Junior League of Richmond for Fall 2011

Junior League of Richmond was thrilled to again be a partner organization with YMCA Bright Beginnings. We sponsored Chimborazo Elementary, Fairfield Court Elementary, Southside Child Development Center, and Youth Life Learning Center providing necessary school supplies and clothing for the school year. This was a self-funded program so the number of Richmond youth reached was directly proportional to the contributions received. We greatly appreciate your generous support as we strive to enrich the lives of these deserving children.

GREAT NEWS! The Clothes Rack Committee will be at EVERY GMM to collect donations! Please bring your quota or ANY donations you have to ANY GMM! This will make it easy for members to make donations and will hopefully increase the amount of donations.

JLR Committees: Volunteer at The Clothes Rack by Organizing a Donation Drive

With over 100 New Members now actively doing their required shifts, the most valuable way that you as an Active Member can help The Clothes Rack is by participating in a Donation Drive. This is a great opportunity for your Committee to work together to support The Clothes Rack while earning Resource Development and Personal Choice credits. Committee Chairs will need to contact Mark Gaddis at mgaddis@jlrichmond.org to discuss the possibility of your group organizing and carrying out a donation drive. It could be held in someone's neighborhood, church, office, or another location of your choice. You may decide that you would solicit donations from local retailers, or come up with a totally new idea for Clothes Rack donations.
