Mission Statement

The Junior League of Youngstown is an organization

of women committed to promoting volunteerism,

developing the potential of women and improving

communities through the effective action and lead-

ership of training volunteers. Its purpose is exclusive-

ly educational and charitable.

Briefly Speaking is published ten times per year for

members of JLY. The deadline for each edition is

the third Tuesday of the month.

Information should be submitted via email, as a Mi-

crosoft Word document, to Anna Masi at an-

[email protected]

www.jlyoungstown.org

Well here we are– back at September again! It seems like we just wrapped up

at Annual Dinner. Our League members have been hard at work all summer

and I know that we’re off to a great start.

A Sustainer Reunion was held at The Lake Club with a great turnout and lots of

catching up. The 20th Annual Pink Ribbon Tea was celebrated a little earlier this

year (August 25th) but was pulled together in record time and the change in lo-

cation allowed for about 50 more participants.

We’re looking forward to our first GMM where members will have a chance to

reconnect with one another and get a refresher course on all that is Junior

League.

CODE Day scheduled for September 27th, will provide us with the unique oppor-

tunity to host the 7 other Ohio Leagues. We want a strong turnout for this event

and need your help to show everyone the great things that are happening here

in Youngstown.

We have a new Fall Fundraiser event that we’re hoping will attract a lot of new

guests. It is a Quarter Auction being held on October 11th. This tailgate-themed

event is sure to be a fun & relaxing night so make sure you bring your friends and

family.

So as we start this new year, I’d like to present you with a challenge. Please try

at least one new aspect of the League this year that you haven’t in the past. I

hope it will inspire you and reaffirm your love for the League!

Respectfully,

Kelly

A to M: crayons (64 pack), tablets (small),

erasers (fancy), stickers, markers, hair bar-

rettes, clips, ribbons, inexpensive jewelry

(bracelets)

N to Z: novelty pencils, coloring books,

Matchbox cars, coupons for free ice

cream or French fries, folders with Disney

characters or super heroes

*Keep in mind that these items are re-

wards for good behavior. Try to find items

that are special or fancier than the day-

to-day supplies.*

The Junior League of Youngstown will

be collecting items for Harding Ele-

mentary School. The items donated

will be given to grade school students

for their “Caught Being Good” pro-

gram. This is the sixth year for the pro-

gram that Nancy Williamson started.

Please bring your donations to the

September General Membership

Meeting.

See the list to the right for suggested

items to donate based on your last

name:
