ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017 JUNIOR LEAGUE OF GREENWICH ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017 Dear Friends, The Junior League of Greenwich has been making a significant impact in our community since 1959. We are a dynamic and diverse organization of nearly 700 women whose mission is to promote voluntarism, develop the potential of women and improve the community through the effective action and leadership of trained individuals. Our purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. The Junior League of Greenwich researches and identifies community needs. Through the funds we raise, we then initiate programs that meet these needs and then work in partnership with other civic organizations and agencies. The 2016-2017 year was an exciting one for the Junior League of Greenwich as it continued to expand its reach and impact through its community work. Some of the project highlights include: girls’ self-esteem programs Positively Me!, which celebrated 10 years this year, and Positively More. Additionally, our Done in a Day and New Member Committees successfully partnered last “We strive to be agents of change year with several town agencies, organizations and other in our community, identifying the non-profits this year such as The Bruce Museum, The Boys needs and issues to address, working in partnerships, and & Girls Club, Nathaniel Witherell, Neighbor to Neighbor, training and launching women Abilis, the Greenwich Senior Center, Kids in Crisis and as community leaders that will more. As we always strive to bring innovative programs continue to better Greenwich to town residents, the Community Project Development for decades to come.” Committee cultivated, organized and held an extraordinary Karen Free Royce, Past President, 1999-2000 pilot called Boys Achieving More, or BAM!, for 5th grade boys at Camp Seton. These programs are delivered through the funds raised via The Enchanted Forest, Children’s Concert, Touch-a-Truck and our Annual Fund. Lastly, our current big focus is the Greenwich Pool in Byram Park Capital Campaign. We started with a ground-breaking in August, 2016 and continued to work on raising funds for this public-private partnership between the Junior League of Greenwich and the Town of Greenwich. The construction of the new community pool is well underway and is expected to be completed in 2018. These are just some of the varied accomplishments, projects and programs that were successfully executed by the hard working members of the Junior League of Greenwich during the 2016-2017 year. A remarkable aspect about the Junior League of Greenwich is not what we do, but how we do it. It is simple – we do it through the support we receive from all of you, the community, from both residents and businesses alike. Without that support, the League could not deliver the wide range of services to hundreds of our fellow residents, from the smallest children to our wonderful seniors. On behalf of our members, the Junior League of Greenwich thanks you for your continued support in helping us make a lasting difference to the Greenwich community. All our best, Sue Moretti Bodson 2016-2017 President, Junior League of Greenwich The Junior League of Greenwich, Connecticut, Inc. ■ 231 East Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT 06830 ■ 203.869.1979 ■ www.jlgreenwich.org The Junior League of Greenwich is a 501(c) (3) charitable organization.
