Dear Friends,
I hope you had a restful and fulfilling Easter weekend with your loved ones.
March was a great month for our Junior League. Our GMM brought in a great crowd to participate in our annual business meeting. We voted on executive leadership for the 2024-2025 year, as well as voted on changes to our bylaws, which include requiring member obligations again after a brief, two-year hiatus. Our organization’s Bylaws and Policies & Procedures are both available in the Member Area of our website.
We also hosted our last recruitment event of the fiscal year, which ends on May 31. Our new member count is up to 19 for the year. As a reminder, our 2023-2024 goal is 15. This is a wonderful accomplishment and I want to express my gratitude to all our members for helping us reach this goal. Thank you!
Our annual beach clean up on March 24 rallied over two dozen members and families to help keep Martin beautiful. It was a beautiful day to give back to our community and spend quality time together.
This is all just a brief snapshot of the great things March brought our organization. As we approach the end of our fiscal year, I encourage you to make the most of our remaining opportunities to engage, including the Annual Active & Sustainer Mixer on April 9, Spring Soirée on the 13th, the April GMM on the 16th and much more. Please enjoy the following newsletter for the latest and greatest in JLMC. As always, our online member calendar is updated with activities and opportunities for you to participate in.
