Dear Friends,
I cannot believe this year is already coming to a close. The past 12 months have brought tremendous growth and success to our Junior League, leadership development and friendship to our members, and great impact to our community.
While our accomplishments are many, here are just a few highlights:
- Members identified annual impact initiatives, which focused our training, advocacy, and volunteer action for the year
- We gained 31 new and transfer members, including 28 active members
- We advocated in Tallahassee with the Junior Leagues of Florida State Public Affairs Committee for the first time in many years, which resulted in passed state legislation that will combat human trafficking, improve education, expand water safety for children, and more
- We celebrated the 15th anniversary of the Reindeer Dash by breaking our race registration and fundraising records for the third year in a row
- We continued to improve our financial position by reducing administrative expenses and increasing revenue that allows for bigger budgets in key impact areas such as community projects, member development, scholarships, and advocacy
- We committed to furnishing two newly constructed cottages that will house low-income single parents and their children at Place of Hope in Stuart
- We committed to hosting our first-ever Women's Leadership Symposium in 2024, in dedication to our mission to enhance women's leadership
I hope you will join me in celebrating these milestones at our Annual Dinner on Tuesday, May 14. This dinner includes an annual recap, award presentations, new leadership installation, and more. Details are included later in this newsletter.
As we prepare to close out an incredible year, our League's leaders are already looking ahead at our future.
- Like last year, we will survey members to identify our impact initiatives that will drive our training, advocacy, and volunteer action. More to come in June.
- Taking a turn from tradition, we will offer member programming throughout the summer months, including volunteer opportunities, fundraising efforts for our Mom's Haven of Hope project, workshops & training, and more. General Membership Meetings will resume in August.
- FY25 Membership fees are due for all members. Details are included below.
Everything our organization accomplishes is only made possible through the engagement of our 150 volunteer members. You have endless options for how you spend your time, talents, and treasure and I am so grateful that you choose to spend it with the Junior League of Martin County. Thank you! Your passion and commitment leaves me humbled and honored to serve as your president for another year. I sincerely hope you will renew your membership with JLMC to continue your leadership journey while serving as an agent of change for our community.
Gratefully,
Taylor Gilmour, MPP, CFRE
