A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT, RONNA S
Ladies, A new year of club is upon us! For those of you who were unable to attend the June Ladies Night Out, I'd like to inform you of some secret information...I discovered that JWCL really stands for something besides Junior Women's Club of Loudoun. In fact, those letters stand for "Juniors Willingly Changing Lives." And how appropriate this is because, my friends, this is what we do. Our club is filled with amazing women, everyday heroes, who possess unique and incredible gifts, which they use for the good of others. As a club and individually, you use your talents and skills to create better communities for all of us. You perform good deeds and miracles throughout the year using your secret powers. We may not wear capes or have a superpower, but we are triumphing over evil and doing good in the world. I found a great quote that sums up how I feel about all of you, my friends and fellow JWCLers:
Each of us has a gift to share with others: something that makes us unique and especially qualified to take on a new opportunity to serve our community. This year, we strive to find that talent and use it to help those less fortunate than ourselves. We may not be superheroes, but because of your commitment to doing good for others and your generosity in time, spirit, and talents, you are super and you are a hero! Ladies, there is a hero in each one of us! Indeed, there is a hero in you! Find her! Your fearless leader, Ronna

It is a quick 30 minutes to volunteer and we are providing a tremendous help to the community. Thank you! **************************************************************************************** MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE NEWS FROM K The Membership Committee is off to an exciting start. We hope to plan a few fun social activities so that the club members could really get to know each other. Some ideas that are floating around are a night a Rouge Day Spa, a Lets Dish night or just a good old fashioned happy hour at a member's house! If you have any exciting ideas please contact Kalpana R. JWCL is pleased to welcome Kate H into the club. She lives in Leesburg and is a mom and a mechanical engineer! She enjoys gardening and traveling. If you see Kate at the next meeting, go over and introduce yourself. Marilyn S brought Neda M to the last meeting as a prospective member. Neda has 2 children and is interested in Project Graduation. Please make her feel welcome so that she may want to join our lovely club. Speaking of new members, Jen O welcomed Sean Patrick as a new member of her family. He was born on July 25th and weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces. Congratulations to the entire O'Riley family on our behalf. **************************************************************************************** A MESSAGE FROM PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE Just a friendly reminder from PR to use this last week
before the Silent Auction to continue to promote the event. While it is now
last minute, it is also the time when many people know now their schedule and
whether they are free or not. There are a lot of great items up for auction
totally over $15,000 retail value. So tell your friends, family, neighbors, and
coworkers and lets get people out to bid and raise money for great causes!! AND AN EXTRA… As some of you know, Emily Hartman volunteers and fosters for the Virginia German Shepherd Rescue. She currently has a need for old blankets, comforters, towels or even old sheets for the dogs. If you happen to have any of these items you could donate, please bring to them to the meeting or contact Emily directly. ****************************************************************************************
