Welcome to the Junior League of Tallahassee’s (JLT) website. We are an organization of more than 600 women who are dedicated to promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women and improving our community through the effective action of trained volunteers. Thank you to all the JLT volunteers, chairwomen, board members and members of the Tallahassee community for your hard work that has helped us accomplish so much!

Already, JLT members have taken our new Community Impact Area of “providing opportunities for children and families succeed in school through health, self-esteem and basic needs” to heart. We started the year off right for 122 children by providing essential back-to-school clothing and shoes through the League’s annual Kids’ Boutique and, thanks to the Fostering Hope Committee, we launched a new event – a back-to-school fashion show to support local foster care children and "forever families." In addition, we’ve celebrated the completion of the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Pediatric Services treatment room remodel. We have also had the opportunity to grow our League – and our future community impact – by welcoming two new member classes. Ladies, we are so happy to have you!

There are more fantastic community and fundraising events to come. Thanks to last year’s record fundraising accomplishments, we will be able to put even more dollars back into our community this year through our community projects. In addition, we’ve put funding aside for a special “Big, Bold Idea” project that will allow us to make a truly exceptional impact. The first of many Kids in the Kitchen events have started, our JLT cookbook blog is in full swing, planning for Operation Prom Dress and Whale of a Sale has begun, and the JLT’s annual Jingle Jubilee shopping event is just around the corner! Please help us continue our success by supporting these amazing projects.

Sincerely,

Cari Molinaro
2011-2012 President
