Dear Friends,
It's hard to believe that it's already October. We had our first General Membership Meeting (GMM) last month, held at Nostalgia's Greek Italian Kouzina. It was so great to see everyone and share all of the exciting updates and new features to look forward to in this upcoming year.
I mentioned at our GMM that we will no longer use our meeting time to report out on upcoming events and updates. You can peruse this important information in the Member Area at your leisure. Instead, our time together will include valuable experiences, where we learn about our impact areas and community issues, complete service projects, and participate in educational trainings.
Also new this year are Affinity Groups. These are interest-based social groups, organized exclusively for JLMC members. You can be in as many groups as you'd like. Want to start a group for your favorite hobby? Email membership@jlmcflorida.org.
Please take some time to explore our updated pages available in the Member Area, including news, calendar events, committee announcements, resources, our league photo gallery, and more. If you're experiencing trouble logging in, please reach out to your Advisor.
Have a spooktacular month!
Gratefully,
Taylor Gilmour, MPP, CFRE
President
The Junior League of Martin County

FINAL CALL: Impact Areas Survey
Through hands-on training and formal learning opportunities we will give members the skills needed to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve. To continue the Junior League's tradition of identifying problems and finding solutions in a collaborative way, our League aligns with AJLI to prioritize our efforts. We focus our community projects, training opportunities, fundraising, and advocacy on initiatives that fall into our impact areas: (1) Women; (2) Children; and (3) Civic Leadership. Let us know what initiatives you're most interested in by completing the survey here.
FINAL CALL: Member Education and Training Survey
Our mission is to train and create leaders in our community. What skills/topics do you want to cultivate to become the best version of yourself and the leader you were meant to become? Let us know how we can shape learning opportunities to meet your interests by completing the survey here.
Reindeer Dash: Sponsorships Needed!
Our Junior League's 15th Annual Rudolph's Reindeer Dash 5k and 10k will be held on Saturday, December 2, 2023 at Memorial Park in downtown Stuart. This annual fundraising event would not be a success without our sponsors, and we need YOUR help securing sponsorships. Proceeds of this signature event support our Junior League's community projects and programs. Click here to see/print our sponsor packet. Organizations can also complete a sponsorship form online on the 5k event page here.

League Success Manager
We are excited to share that AJLI has created League Success Managers (LSM) for all leagues. Our League's assigned LSM is a dedicated professional who will serve as a liaison, ambassador, resource, and educator between AJLI and JLMC. Her primary purpose is to provide unwavering support and guidance as we navigate the path to success. We are very optimistic that our new LSM will help connect the greater AJLI mission and resources with our League's strategic efforts at the local level.
Lean In Circles
We are also thrilled to announce the launching of Lean In Circles, in partnership with AJLI and Lean In. These small peer groups will focus on skill building, connection, and networking across all Junior Leagues! Topics covered during the Circles will range from work-life balance to negotiation strategy to inclusive leadership. This is a great tool to further our mission of advancing women's leadership and also to connect with members worldwide. Click Here to register.
