President’s Letter

In 1931, a group of young women in Mobile, AL, having a desire to give back to their community, came together to form the Junior League of Mobile (JLM). I am sure they had no idea that 90 years later, that small group would be over 1,000 women strong giving thousands of volunteer hours with a community impact spanning nearly 4,000 square miles.

This September, we officially celebrate 90 years of developing the potential of women, promoting voluntarism, and improving the Greater Mobile Community! I can only imagine what it must have been like sitting at that table 90 years ago. Do you think those women knew they were setting the groundwork for something so impactful that hundreds of women would want to be a part of it for nine decades?

As we enter into this milestone anniversary, I am hit with the realization of the world we are living in right now.

With a global health pandemic hanging over us, I am amazed by our women taking challenges and turning them into opportunities. We have pivoted, adapted, altered, and changed many placements to ensure that JLM creates the community impact that our founders set out to accomplish. Because of the determination of our members, we will continue to feed hungry children, provide diapers to babies in need, and support school children as they adapt to a new way of learning.

No organization can grow and maintain stability for 90 years without constantly evolving. In my time at JLM, I have seen the evolution of our membership, fundraisers, placements, and organizational structure. At the time of each change, I did not realize that we were adapting to the changing times of society. We have evolved because strong leadership made difficult decisions along the way to ensure community needs would be met for many,

Amanda Parker Gonzales President 2020-2021

many years.

Whether you are a member, donor, advertiser, community partner, or supporter, you have played an important role in allowing this organization to successfully carry out its mission for 90 years. You are the reason why JLM continues to build on a foundation that was built in 1931 by a group of women wanting to better the community we live in today.

A past president and good friend of mine shared a quote with me a few years ago. Nelson Henderson once said, “The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” We are sitting under a tree that was planted 90 years ago and I hope that 90 years from now, another group of women will be reaping the shade of the tree we plant today.

Sincerely, Amanda Parker Gonzales President 2020-2021 Junior League of Mobile, Inc.

Editor’s Letter

Benjamin Franklin famously wrote, “Do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.” Don’t we all feel like we could use some more time if we had it? But can’t we all point to times in our past when we unknowingly were wasting time? Thankfully, we can also look back and reflect on the things that we put our time into that turned into something better than we could have hoped for, when we planted seeds that grew into beautiful gardens.

COVID-19 wiped our calendars clean in dramatic fashion, and unexpectedly gave many of us some extra time.

Time to do what? What could we do if there was more time? Would we do for ourselves or do for others?

Would we serve or retreat? Would we use this time to plant some new seeds or nurture our already growing garden?

No matter each of our responses to empty calendars recently, the members of the Junior League of Mobile continue to serve like the generations of women who came before us. Since 1931, thousands of women of the Junior League of Mobile have supported the surrounding communities passionately, courageously, and generously. There are few organizations that get to celebrate a 90th birthday. There are few organizations whose mission and values can inspire generation after generation to keep the flame lit and waste no time running forward with it in hand.

The fall 2020 Folio reflects back over 90 years of service while exploring a very uncertain future for some of our biggest events and fundraisers. The juxtaposition is both comforting and unsettling, hopeful and challenging.

In this issue, we celebrate 90 years with a brief look at JLM projects and fundraisers. In these pages, our team

explores the concept of legacy in the form of legacy projects such as the Gulf Coast Exploreum’s Wharf of Wonder, as well as new projects like Adopt-A-School and the Diaper Bank as part of our community impact. I also take a look back at 90 years of community impact decade by decade.

We asked some difficult questions about how traditional fundraisers like Christmas Jubilee and Blue Pass will be different this fall. The ladies working behind the scenes are proving that the Junior League spirit is alive and well.

We use the fall Folio to formally introduce our dedicated Board of Directors and Management Team that keep the Junior League of Mobile working for today and for tomorrow. I want to thank the Folio contributors for their quick investigative reporting and skillful writing. I also want to give a special “thank you” to the staff of the Mobile Public Library’s Local History and Genealogy Library that helped with our investigations.

I hope you enjoy the Fall 2020 Folio as much as we have enjoyed creating it. May these reflections on our past and conversations about our future inspire you to make the most of the time that you have to give, and to seek

Board of Directors 2020-2021

Amanda Gonzales, President Years in League: 11 Family: Married to R.J., Reese (14), Jay (13) What surprised you most about your time in JLM? I resisted joining JLM for about 3 years before I finally decided to join. All of my friends who were members at that time spent a great amount of time volunteering and I didn’t think I’d be able to devote that much time. I realized quickly, you get out of it what you put into it. This group of women inspire me, motivate me, and help me to be the best version of myself. I have had years when I needed a placement that didn’t require a lot of time and some years I can take on big jobs.

How have you been able to use your JLM experiences in your daily life? I work in the non-profit sector professionally. Each placement and training I have completed has given me insight on how to do my league job and my professional job more efficiently. The transfer of knowledge from one to the other is extremely beneficial.

Sarah Bumgarner, President-Elect Years in League: 10 Family: Olivia (6), Anders (3) What has surprised you most about your time with JLM? What has most surprised me is being able to learn so much about our community and have a hand in helping make a difference in the lives of my neighbors and fellow citizens.

How have you been able to use your JLM experiences in your daily life? I have learned a lot about marketing and teamwork through JLM and used this in my personal career through various jobs in my life. The skills I’ve learned in managing others and working with a team, I might not have been given the opportunity in everyday life.

Dr. Amy McCoy, Secretary Years in League: 11 Married to Clay McCoy, Jackson (12), Riley Cate (10) What has surprised you most about your time with JLM? I can’t think of anything that has surprised me but my favorite thing has been getting to know so many people in the community. JLM has allowed me to meet amazing people in the league, but I have also gotten to know some impressive and inspiring small business owners and volunteers through our fundraisers and partnerships.

How have you been able to use your JLM experiences in your daily life? I have learned of great resources in the community that I can refer my patients to. Not just for medical issues, but also to assist with their other needs in life.

Hilary Gunn, Treasurer Years in League: 7 Family: Married to Peyton Gunn, Evie (4), Amelia (1) What has surprised you most about your time with JLM? How passionate our members are about the League and our work in the community. I am constantly amazed at how much we accomplish working together.

How have you been able to use your JLM experiences in your daily life? My experience with JLM has provided me with valuable training and leadership skills that I’ve been able to apply to my professional life.

Dr. Krista Harrell, Governance Director Years in League: 7 What has surprised you most about your time with JLM? I have been most surprised about the deep impact our members have made in our 90 years - our reach runs wide and long in Mobile.

How have you been able to use your JLM experiences in your daily life? My experiences in JLM have enhanced my adaptability and self-assurance as a leader, have expanded my knowledge of community need, and helped me be part of an organization that empowers women in every aspect of daily and professional life.

How have you been able to use your JLM experiences in your daily life? Being a member of JLM has impacted my work and vice versa. Each member of JLM is an individual, but together we are striving to accomplish something. Seeing JLM harness individual differences in order to reach a goal reminds me that the same collective spirit can and should be fostered in the workplace.

Ann Sirmon, Sustaining Advisor Family: Married to Danny Sirmon Years in League: 23 What has surprised you most about your time with JLM? It’s not what has surprised me the most, but the lagniappe, the something extra, received as a member of JLM. I’ve made many life-long friends, both personally and professionally, through my many years as a JLM member. Great memories and friendships that I will cherish forever!

How have you been able to use your JLM experiences in your daily life? JLM has provided me MANY experiences that I use in my life, both personally and professionally on a daily basis. There are too many to name. My top three are – 1. The training provided is top-notch, 2. learned how-to fundraise and 3. ignited my passion for volunteering and making my community better than the way I found it. Thank you, JLM! Bridget Archer, Governance Director-Elect Family: Married to Thomas Archer, Cecilia Lynn (13), Colin Wesley (9) Years in League: 6 What has surprised you most about your time with JLM? The most surprising thing about JLM is the variety of ways we impact our community. We work with groups daily to improve Mobile in big and small ways. Besides our impact areas, our members are major players in every part of the city. JLM members are health care providers, business owners, educators, mothers, city leaders and visionaries. We are not the league of the past, we are definitely the league of the future.

How have you been able to use your JLM experiences in your daily life? JLM has taught me planning, logistics and leadership skills. With experience I have gained from JLM, I have been able to successfully plan two major distributions for the financially insecure. I’ve also learned how to read and manage a budget through CJ. Sasha Thatcher, Treasurer-Elect Family: Married to Jacob Thatcher Years in League: 4 What has surprised you most about your time with JLM? Before I joined JLM I really had no clue how involved the league was in the community. Being from up north, where leagues are not as prominent, I had a stereotype in my head that the league was made up of a bunch of stay at home moms who were just looking to get together for parties and host fundraisers... I was SO wrong! JLM has broken every stereotype I had. I was surprised to find a diverse group of women who are committed to making their community better for everyone who lives there. It surprised me to find out how invested we are, as a league and as individuals, in our community. Everyone works hard to make each year better than the last, so we can make a bigger impact.

Ashley McKeithan, Director-Elect Family: Married to Lee McKeithan, Riley (5), MaryTanner (9) Years in League:10 What has surprised you most about your time with JLM? The scope and variety of the different placement options I have been able to participate in while in the League.

How have you been able to use your JLM experiences in your daily life? It has helped me broaden my perspective to others, and provided another frame of reference when dealing with some of the nonprofits we support. It has helped me further develop empathy, and I have been able to apply that in my job daily.

Deanna Ferguson, 2020 JLM Active of the Year Deanna has been an active with JLM for 8 years, including placements as volunteer and chair on Research Council, Jubilee Bargains, Ready Hands and the Backpack Program. This past year she was integral in the research and program development of one of JLM’s newest programs, Adopt-ASchool. Deanna spent countless hours creating the program, meeting with administration of MCPSS, putting the program in place and developing lasting community relationships along the way. Because of her, JLM will be making a bigger community impact with this program for years to come and the kids of George Hall Elementary school will continue to have basic needs of living met. The year was ended abruptly, but Deanna leaped into action and was able to get the entire school Fire Tablets to use at home, not only allowing the staff to continue to educate the children of this school but also to do much needed wellness checks on a level that touched her heart.

Hannah Brown, 2020 JLM Provisional of the Year Hannah demonstrated model worthy leadership throughout her provisional year. She was hands on and involved with the Diaper Bank, packaging and distributing to JLM community agencies and went above and beyond by holding a Food Drive, during a time of need, for the Joseph Project Food Pantry located in the Dumas Wesley Community Center. Hannah is described by fellow JLM members as exceptional and ready and willing to help. We are excited to have Hannah as one of our actives in this new year and are encouraged for the League’s future with her example.

If you think character is more important than charisma, you might just be a Saint.

At St. Paul’s, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Sure, we’ve graduated our fair share of National Merit Scholars and major-league athletes (more than most schools in Mobile, in fact), but we’re more proud of what’s harder to measure: character.

Every week, you’ll find our students out in their communities, distributing food, volunteering, and just in general lending a hand – wherever one is needed. And on campus? Treating one another with tolerance, compassion, and respect.

If you’d like to learn more about St. Paul’s, give us a call. Or, better yet, pay us a visit.

Adopt-A-School Pivots to Meet Changing Needs

By Kerrianne Webster

There is no doubt that thousands of school-aged children in Mobile County struggle with hunger. In order to combat this need, the Junior League of Mobile (JLM) has revamped its backpack program into the growing Adopt-A-School program. The new Adopt-A-School program’s mission is to support a selected school and assist with the health of the children through nutrition and fitness.

This year, everything is a little different with COVID-19. The Mobile County Public School System (MCPSS)

Sarah reports that prior to the start of this school year, school supplies were purchased and shipped to the school for distribution, including writing utensils, pencil pouches, notebooks, and backpacks. Upon receipt of the supplies, the teachers at George Hall Elementary packed the backpacks to distribute to their individual classrooms as social distancing guidelines remain in place. In the spring when all schools suddenly closed, JLM quickly reallocated funds to purchase and distribute 240 tablets to the students to begin their endeavors in virtual learning; work that gained the attention of the Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc. (ALJI).

JLM plans to send our “Ready Hands” volunteers to begin working on stocking the snack pantry and students’ backpacks as soon as it is safe for everyone.

However, in the meantime, Sarah is proud to note that the Adopt-A-School program held a book drive to continue to meet the needs of the students at George Hall Elementary. Book donations were open to anyone in JLM, and the Haunted Bookshop also partnered on this drive to assist with orders, providing grade-level recommendations for donors to the program and shipping any purchases directly to the school for distribution.

Sarah Schrenk notes, “I’m very excited about the ways we can help the staff and students beyond the program’s initial goals. My hope is that our impact can go beyond funding the tangible needs. I’d like the children to see our JLM members as role models and mentors, and we’re open to members’ program ideas to make that a reality.” During a time when so much has been uncertain, JLM’s Adopt-A-School program continues to support George Hall Elementary in keeping its students healthy and safe by fulfilling every changing needs.

Whether through financial contributions or boots-onthe-ground, JLM has, in simple terms, cared deeply about our communities for 90 years. Here is a look at the past nine decades of service and support.

1930s Junior League of Mobile was chartered in 1931.

Right from the start, the vision of its founders was on track. The Thrift Store opened in 1935 and remained a fixture for 78 years. Not only did it raise money, it helped struggling families in the midst of the Great Depression find quality clothing for nickels and dimes. The Nutrition Clinic and Well Baby Clinic at City Hospital was founded in 1929 and 1932 in coordination with City Hospital. The League convinced Mobile’s first pediatrician Dr. J Mac Bell to open the Children’s Nutrition Clinic where the ladies volunteered every day. The Occupational Therapy clinic for disabled children was established in 1938.

Children and families were the theme of the 1930s.

1970s Historic preservation became an interest for the League in the late 1960s and into the 1970s. The Historic Mobile Guidebook was funded and written in partnership with the Mobile Historic Development Commission and was used as a fundraiser and educational tool for both organizations. Towards the end of the decade, the League worked long hours restoring the Carlen House which it would also staff with docents for many years. Educational opportunities and priorities included a preschool arts educational program and alcohol and drug abuse educational program for all ages in the public schools.

The Season of Christmas: A Holiday Marketplace, A Charitable Success

THE FUNDRAISER THAT DOES MORE THAN JUST RAISE FUNDS. Many don’t realize that the money earned from Christmas Jubilee is a direct investment into JLM’s programs within the region, either in the form of funding or as indirect resources as such training qualified volunteers. Through the years, dozens of programs have been supported through this one event such as United Cerebral Palsy of Mobile, Wilmer Hall and Dumas Wesley Community Center. At this time, we currently support six community projects, including the Diaper Bank and Adopt-A-School programs which are newer initiatives to JLM. “CJ could not happen without every single JLM member!

Typically, a CJ committee runs about forty strong, but with the current pandemic and lower membership, this year’s committee is nearly half that. With the leadership of the Fund Development Manager and CJ chair, the committee handles nearly every single aspect of the market from start to finish,” said Amanda

that literally as we also had a marionette committee

Our focus is ever changing, and we recently found a placement brochure from 1981 that shows us the difference 40 years can make. JLM established substance abuse as their primary focus in the early 1980’s. The Alcohol Education Committee and the Drug Education Program were established for Junior High and Elementary schools to help teachers and students discuss the hard-hitting issues of the time through film and discussions. Committee members were to be available two days a week for up to four weeks out of the year during the work week.

There was also a focus on family advocacy and health care through ante-natal education consultation discussing breast feeding to bottle feeding, labor and delivery, nutrition, the development of the baby and infant care.

An orthopedic recreation committee was established for long term orthopedic patients at USA Medical Center. A pediatric activities committee was developed for in-patients at the hospital for ages infant to 18-years where preplanned activities occurred to entertain and provide love. A special team was also created to focus on learning more about spousal

for a lighter placement within our Community Arts program. The team focused on giving performances to the community. Around the same time, we also began our puppet committee that went on to perform the Kids on the Block program in the mid-80’s.

The ladies of the 80’s were busy and true pioneers of what we’ve established today with our programs. Sometimes it’s good to look back to reflect on what we’ve accomplished to know that our League is built on solid ground and who knows, we might have to dust off the ole puppets one day, just for fun.

abuse and foster care in our community. Many of the placements were for 2 or more years so that the time needed to train a volunteer was well spent.
