Community Partners Reception

Preparations are underway for the Community Partners Reception on Thursday, May 3rd at the Loughborough House! This annual reception not only highlights all of the work JLW volunteers do in the community, but will also feature the JLW's Youth Poetry Contest winners. Loughborough Room will be packed full of community partners, JLW members, students from local DC Public Schools and their parents, grandparents, siblings, teachers and school administrators. The invitations have been sent, RSVPs are coming in and the menu is being planned. Savory appetizers, delicious drinks, and sweet treats will be served throughout the evening.

The final touches are being put on 'The State of the CPC.' This 'snapshot' is compiled at the end of the League year to give a quantitative look at the impact JLW women have had on the community. Ever wonder how many books, how many games of bingo or how many meals have been served to the community throughout the year? Come join the Community Placements on May 3rd at 7:00 p.m. to hear for yourself. Reserve your spot at the Reception by signing up at www.jlw.org under Membership Credit Opportunities.

See you there!

A Transfer’s Shopping Soiree at Kiehl’s

The Transfer Committee at the Junior League of Washington has put together a series of great events throughout the city over the course of the year. Transfer gatherings have included brunches, happy hours and dinners at Vinoteca, Brasserie Beck, Jaleo, Poste, Darlington House, and many other chic and trendy venues in D.C. We've also had the opportunity to work with JLW Community Partners and participate in mini-placements just like new members giving Transfers the opportunity to see the various placement opportunities within JLW before our first official active year.

As icing on the cake, the Transfer committee put together an absolutely fabulous shopping event on Wednesday, April 4th at Kiehl’s in Georgetown. The shopping party started at 7 p.m., giving everyone enough time to get there from work, and the store stayed open till 9 p.m. – just for us!

Kiehl’s shopping events are a must – for two reasons. First, it’s a great opportunity to test out all the products you love, without having to wait in long lines. Secondly, it’s yet another fantastic way to meet more transfers in a cozy and intimate setting. Surrounded by sunflower and coconut shampoos, revitalizing day creams and cucumber eye masks, we had plenty to talk about - and lots to get to know about each other. Everyone walked away from the event with new friends - and lovely gift bags!
