"Envision Tomorrow Today"

 

Move over March Madness for Junior League of Rockford April Madness! Starting off for the month of April is our Eat. Live. Relax. Tour Ticket Kick-Off at Egg Harbor Café on April 1st. Patrons will be given the opportunity to buy tour tickets and raffle tickets with complimentary JLR cookbooks. They may also sample two special entrees from our cookbooks that will be on the menu that day.

Meanwhile, the provisional class will get their team together to discuss final plans for the Kids in the Kitchen class project. Kids in the Kitchen is an AJLI initiative designed to educate children and their families about the issues of childhood obesity and poor nutrition. The provisional class will teach families and children how to prepare nutritious snacks and how to plan healthy physical activities in a fun and interactive environment. Kids in the Kitchen will be held on Saturday, April 18th at the Discovery Center Museum.


Luckily, we have scheduled a half-time event during April Madness. The Provisional Class will be activating at the April General Membership Meeting on April 21st. We will be hosting an Activation Party at 6:00pm at the University Club for all members. If you missed the Sustainer/Provisional Christmas Party, be sure to attend the Activation Party to meet our new actives and catch up on League news.

In the third quarter, our Taste of Junior League team will kick into gear as they package up all the silent auction items that were secured by the provisional class, actives and sustainers for the big event. Come celebrate the kick-off to the Eat. Live. Relax. Home Tour at the Taste of Junior League on April 25th at the University Club. Enjoy a fabulous evening with your League friends at this not to miss event.

As April draws to a close, the Junior League team will rally again for our final event. We will proudly present Eat. Live. Relax. – A Tour of Kitchens and Living Spaces on May 2nd and 3rd. We will showcase ten homes in the Rockford area with the latest in design trends. This final play of our Junior League April Madness along with others illustrates how much we can accomplish as a team. It takes our entire Junior League team of provisionals, actives and sustainers to make all of these events a huge success. The clock has just begun and we have not quite made it to the final buzzer, please join me as we Envision Tomorrow Today.

Warmest regards,

Jane Wagner
