Dear Members, Donors, Partners and Friends, The Junior League of Richmond was built on dedication, hard work and tradition; for 86 years we have evolved into the organization we are today- where women blossom, grow, lead and serve.

Inspire: • Inspired our members with nearly 50 Past Presidents and their exemplary work as leaders in our League and our Greater community • Created core values to support our Mission and Vision while the Board worked to establish behaviors to show the importance of these values to our members, our donors and our community: In every action we demonstrate, commitment by honoring our promises to each other and the community compassion through unbiased care and respect for others integrity through honest and principled service stewardship through ethical and responsible management of our valuable resources

That is what makes the Junior League unique to other volunteer organizations. I could not be more proud of all we accomplished over the year and all we have given back to one another and to the Greater Richmond community. Thank you to our community partners, our donors, our family and our friends- our League could not be what it is today without the support of each of you. Best, Jennifer L. Pitts President 2011-2012

“Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little sunshine.” -Jeffrey Glassberg

Women of As part of its mission, the Junior League of Richmond focuses on creating a capable leadership pool for both the community and the League. Many of our members, as they complete their active years in the League, choose to take their skills and experience into a number of both non-profit and professional organizations in the community. Edie Cabaniss is a wonderful example of the lasting impact League training and support can have on its members. Eda “Edie” Hofstead Cabaniss transferred to the Junior League of Richmond in 1971 after moving from Nashville, TN. As an active member, Edi served in various placements including the Clothes Rack Committee, Testing Assistant with the Women’s Resource Center, Docent at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Assistant Chair of the Advocacy Center and Chair of Human Services of Community Affairs. While serving the community as a JLR volunteer, Edie also provided her talents to other community organizations including the American Cancer Society and the Kappa Alpha Theta Alumnae Chapter.

Distinction children that her love for the objects intensified. “The children responded to the collection with such awe and wonder,” she remembers, and she soon came to realize just how extraordinary VMFA’s collection was. Through its May 2010 Opening, then Picasso, and now Fabergé Revealed, Edie has supported the VMFA in becoming a world-class museum through her various roles including an appointment to the VFMA Foundation Board. The VMFA extended its appreciation in 2011 and named the Fabergé Gallery in Edie’s honor, in gratitude for her gift to the museum’s capital campaign, and her devotion to the collection.

As a Sustainer, Edi has continued her spirit of volunteerism and has dedicated her efforts to encouraging the arts through involvement with The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA). VMFA’s permanent collection encompasses more than 33,000 works of art spanning 5,000 years of world history. Its collections of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, English silver, Fabergé, and the art of South Asia are among the finest in the nation. Edie says that her interest in Fabergé actually developed at VMFA, beginning with her service in the Junior League when she first moved to Richmond. It was during her intensive training as a docent and her tours of Fabergé for school

Going

Sue Ellen Childers Taylor has been a dedicated member since 1987 and is always the first to say, “Yes,” and the last one to go home after a long day of volunteering. No job is ever too large or too small for Sue and she always does it with a smile, a joke or a laugh that encourages all around her to continue until completed. Sue has been involved with the Sustainer Doers committee, volunteering at the Southside Child Development Center, the Fan Free Clinic or any other location where volunteers are needed. She also has been a dedicated volunteer outside of the League by giving her time to The Church of the Holy Comforter, The Women’s Club, Tuckahoe Garden Club, and the Feeding Program. When learning of the Impact 100 group, women in philanthropy, she joined to help make a significant impact in the community. Additionally, Sue is a past President of The University of Virginia School of Nursing Alumni Association where she extended her tenure to guide the association during its Centennial Celebration. She has been recognized for her efforts at UVA by being made a member of the prestigious Raven Society. Sue is a perfect fit the Barbara Ransome Andrews as she is a committed volunteer who gives quietly and without fanfare.

Above and Beyond

Barbara Ransome Andrews Award The Barbara Ransome Andrews Award, named for one of our most esteemed and beloved members, honors a sustainer member’s outstanding community service.

General Membership Meeting Celebrates JLR’s Commitment In putting the League’s mission into action, the first General Membership Meeting (GMM) of the year kicked-off with a community fair at the Robinson Theater Community Arts Center that brought together community agencies and partners to provide families in the East End with an evening of fellowship and fun activities. Jennifer Pitts, 2011-2012 President, chose the Community GMM as the setting for sharing her vision, Engage. Inspire. Transform., for the year’s work. “It’s a continual process we will work on during the course of the year,” Jennifer explains, “in which we’ll engage in new placements that will inspire change within ourselves and allow us to transform not just who we are as volunteers but also to transform our community.” Members from the East End community participating in the fair included the Richmond Fire Department (Station 5), Communities in Schools, Bon Secours, Blue Sky Fund, the YWCA, YMCA, and Peter Paul Development Center. Volunteers from the League’s Families First, Kids in the Kitchen, Literacy Through Arts Outreach, and Good Sports committees provided hands-on activities, games and healthy snacks for the neighborhood children. This was one of the most wellattended membership meetings on record, which only confirmed our members’ commitment to the East End Community!

Much like the Robinson Theater, the Junior League uses the power of its history to engage, inspire and transform the lives of its members and the communities it serves. The community GMM set the stage for the work to be done over the 2011-2012 league year in serving families and nonprofit partners in the East End while continuing to celebrate the League’s 85 year legacy. The Scope of Voluntarism The Junior League of Richmond makes an impact in the community in many ways, one being on-going relationships with the following Richmond organizations to deliver programs that enhance the lives of children and families. The League is a regular presence at these agencies, offering much-needed support for staff and the families they serve. Nearly 1,000 Junior League of Richmond members served the Richmond community and contributed over 30,000 hours of service.

Built in 1937, the Robinson Theater is a staple in the East End community and was named for Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, a native son of Richmond who grew up to be one of the most famous of all African American tap dancers to headline Broadway and to appear in Hollywood films. The theater’s glowing marquee was removed and the doors were boarded up in the mid-1980s after a period of unsuccessful uses as a disco, pool hall, and restaurant. In 2008, the theater underwent another reinvention – a return to its roots as an “icon of the transformation of this section of Church Hill”. The theater once again is looked to as a place for community life. 4

The Junior League of Richmond

The Bright Beginnings committee seeks volunteer and donor support to provide a backpack of educational supplies and a "back-to-school" shopping experience for children often involved in League program sites. In August, League members served 125 children over 4 nights of back-to-school shopping through JLR’s partnership with YMCA Bright Beginnings.

Good Sports promotes character development through athletics for elementary school-aged youth at Peter Paul Development Center. Members worked with approximately 50 boys and girls on trying a variety of sports while focusing on the six Pillars of Character as defined by the Character Counts! Program: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. Lessons were delivered in partnership with groups like First Tee Golf and Richmond Kickers. The Kids in the Kitchen committee conducted nutritional outreach events at Woodville Elementary School to fight childhood obesity by promoting healthy eating habits and lifestyles. The events taught approximately 50 children the importance of nutrition through healthy snack and meal preparation. Read more in the following feature! Literacy Through Art Outreach provides workshops at Woodville Elementary School. Committee members provided a story and related art project to 250 children and 250 adults while providing over 220 books to participants. The programs were designed to inspire children’s artistic development as well as help families guide children’s creative play.

Annual Report 2011-2012

2011-2012

The Families First Committees provided programs and special events to 200 children and families at Southside Child Development Center and Woodville Elementary School. Interactive children programs focused on activities related to healthy eating, dental care, arts and crafts, and educational games. Adult programs focused on health care options, education and positive parenting.

Community Programs

The Done in a Day Committee collaborated with local community organizations to provide volunteers for halfday projects across the Richmond Metro Area. This year, 62 Done in a Day events were held with at least one in the East End each month. DIADs afford all JLR members the opportunity for hands on community involvement with projects benefitting partners such as St. Joseph’s Villa, Hospitality House, Swansboro Elementary School, Meals on Wheels and Central Virginia Food Bank.

Teaching

Healthy Habits for Life

Kids in the Kitchen Goes Monthly The Junior League of Richmond’s Kids in the Kitchen program has operated for the past three years as a funfilled one-day event designed to provide educational information and hands on demonstrations to increase students’ awareness of the need for healthy habits. During that time, approximately 600 children and their families from elementary schools and after school programs in Richmond attended the annual events. Today, the Center for Disease Control reports that about one in three American kids and teens is overweight or obese, nearly triple the rate in 1963. Excess weight at young ages has been linked to high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and elevated blood cholesterol levels. There are also psychological effects resulting from low self-esteem, negative body image and depression. All of these alarming findings have escalated childhood obesity to the top of the charts as the No. 1 health concern among parents in the United States, surpassing drug abuse and smoking. In acknowledging this national epidemic, the Junior League of Richmond determined a more active role in educating children and families about nutrition and healthy meal preparation was needed. Building on the success and engagement from the annual Kids in the Kitchen events, JLR made the exciting decision to pilot Kids in the Kitchen on a monthly basis during the 2011-2012 League year. By regularly interacting with those who most need nutritional support, KITK seeks to make a lasting change on the future of area children and families.

“Food is symbolic and represents care, love, and family and friends,” shares Katherine Jones, 2011-2012 KITK Chair. “So much of what we do in everyday life is centered around food…in the buying, preparing, eating, and even the cleaning up process. As we cook with the students, we talk, learn, and work together which makes Kids in the Kitchen a great way for the League to respond to the need for promoting good health.” Through sponsorship from Bon Secours and a grant from Kashi, KITK committee volunteers work with third grade students at Woodville Elementary School during evening one hour sessions held concurrently with PTA meetings. The sessions include age-appropriate recipe preparation, cooking themed activities, and take-home items including snack bags and nutrition tips for the whole family. Highlights from the pilot year include an apron decorating project; herb tasting and salad station; healthy snack sampler featuring baked chips, pretzels and guacamole; cheese exploration with cheddar, blue cheese and parmesan; hummus station with carrots and crackers; smoothie tasting; and learning to read product labels.

The Junior League of Richmond

2012-2013 Welcomes Britt Nelson as our new Executive Director!

No other volunteer organization develops the potential of women leaders like the Junior League of Richmond and Britt Nelson is a perfect example of this legacy. Britt joined JLR in 2008 and dedicated her energy to the Touch a Truck Committee. In 2011, she chaired the Touch a Truck Committee and brought in new partnerships and ideas which produced one of our most successful Touch a Truck events ever. Most recently, Britt served as Vice President Elect of Events where she worked to develop a compelling and comprehensive fundraising strategy for all League events. In addition to her JLR experience, Britt brings over 12 years of grant writing and project development experience where she has worked to connect organizational and community needs with ideas and resources. Prior to joining JLR, Britt was the Grants Coordinator for Henrico County Public Schools and prepared grant proposals supporting a variety of educational needs, including literacy, mentoring, professional development, technology and health/wellness. Her grants development career is complimented by her experience as Grants Program Administrator and later Manager of Program Assessment with the Virginia Tobacco Commission where she evaluated and monitored grant funded projects. Britt is a graduate of Longwood College and earned a Master of Business Administration from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Annual Report 2011-2012

Enabling Funds in the Touch a Truck Through sponsorship support from Liesfeld Contractors, Inc., and UPS Freight, the 6th Annual Touch a Truck, held on October 1, 2011 at Richmond International Raceway, offered children and families the chance to explore their favorite bulldozers, cement mixers, dump trucks, utility trucks and delivery trucks as well as to climb aboard the National Guard Helicopter and to take a visual tour of the Bon Secours Medical Chopper. This year’s event featured for the first time a limited number of VIP tickets that enabled event fans to come an hour early and to skip the lines. The VIP hour sold-out and was a crowd favorite among parents. Radio Disney provided entertainment throughout the day with music, games, and prizes while Romp n’ Roll provided interactive performances. And Nutzy (Richmond Squirrels), Kickeroo (Richmond Kickers) and Bonnie the Bunny (Bon Secours) made special appearances. Another crowd favorite this year was the Home Depot craft station where children built bean bag games, tool boxes, and trucks. Over 20 vendors provided shopping opportunities for the adults while the children jumped in bounce houses nearby or took a few putts with First Tee Golf. The 2011 event was attended by over 3,000 people and raised over $33,000. Junior Book & Author The 8th Junior Book & Author literary event held on February 24, 2012 featured nationally acclaimed author, Graham Salisbury, a Hawaiian native who draws on his World War II-era childhood to write many of his novels. Salisbury visited schools in the City of Richmond, and counties of Henrico, Hanover, and Chesterfield schools, as well as the Collegiate

A Literary Event for

School in Richmond. Thanks to the support of the Verizon Foundation, Capital One, and Bon Secours, the event reached over 2,200 students with free inschool presentations and provided over 500 books to partner schools. In addition to presentations, Graham visited individual classrooms, signed books, and attended lunch and dinner receptions. Prior to Graham’s visit, JLR volunteers held Chat ‘n’ Chews, a book club style event, where students discussed the book and could learn about Hawaiian culture through a letter-writing station for WWII veterans, a hibiscus flower-making station, a hula hoop contest and a hula dancing station, and an "Aloha Theater", which showed videos about Hawaiian culture. Additionally, committee volunteers read almost 100 “Be a Junior Author” essay competition submissions which were narrowed down to the top 10 and Graham selected the top 5. Mitchell Gregory, of Chickahominy Middle School in Hanover County, won First Place in the competition. The evening presentation was held on February 23, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at the Collegiate School’s Oates Theater and was attended by over 400 people. Through sponsor support, ticket sales, and book purchases, over $13,000 was raised while fostering a love of reading with area students. Book & Author The Book & Author Dinner celebrated its 67th year on May 1, 2012 with over 1,000 people in attendance. The JLR is most grateful to Dominion, Presenting Signature sponsor, as well as to Troutman Sanders and the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Paul Duke sponsors, for their outstanding support of this event. Fountain Books assisted the League as its book-selling partner and the Jefferson Hotel continued its partnership in hosting the authors in its Governor’s Suite. Author Bob Deans served as Master of Ceremonies for the author The Junior League of Richmond

panel featuring the following distinguished authors: Wiley Cash, Erin Duffy, Margot Livesey, Alice Medrich, Matthew Pearl, Sally Bedell Smith, and Adriana Trigiani. For the first time in the event’s history, tickets were made available for the Book & Author Luncheon which was held earlier in the day at the Country Club of Virginia. Approximately 100 guests enjoyed the luncheon which featured an extended book signing session and the opportunity to dine with visiting authors in a more intimate setting. The event raised more than $65,000.

2011-2012 Special Events The League was fortunate to benefit from several special events held in partnership with local businesses who helped to collect donations for The Clothes Rack while generously donating back a portion of event proceeds to support the League’s mission. This year’s special give-back events included: • J. McLaughlin paired with the League once again for a shopping event held on October 12, 2012, that featured drinks and hors’ devours provided by The Blue Goat. • Courture for a Cause on November 9, 2011 offered ticket holders a night of style, food, and fun as Saks Fifth Avenue at Stony Point Fashion Park closed to the public and opened its doors to the League. The night featured a special appearance by serveware designer Julia Knight!

2011-2012

Celebrating more than 60 years in the community, the Clothes Rack offers highquality, secondhand clothing and household goods donated by League members and the community. Proceeds from this on-going fundraiser go to support the mission of the Junior League of Richmond. In the last year, the two store locations (Cary Street and Stratford Hills) served over 39,000 customers and sold over 156,000 items. The combined revenue increased 3% from FY2011, which had previously been our best year.

Annual Report 2011-2012

A Dedicated Network of The Junior League of Richmond membership includes outstanding women from all walks of life, in all stages of their lives. While New Members are just beginning their introduction to the League, they have every opportunity to shine just like Actives and Sustainers. Many wonder what common ground League members have at such different stages of membership. It is a strong sense of service and dedication to the community that bonds League members together. The New Member class completed four Community projects for the Peter Paul Development Center. They collected and distributed stocking caps, scarves, gloves, food and school supplies to 80 children. The New Members also provided each of the Center’s 30 seniors with goodie baskets in the Spring. The Sustainer Doers provided enrichment activities for 75 children at Southside Child Development Center. They also supported teachers and staff at Christmas staff luncheons, a full week of treats and lunches during Teacher Appreciation week. The Doers were also busy at the Fan Free Clinic, providing 40 clients with dinners, bingo games, collecting food for the pantry among many other projects. The Hospital Hospitality House, which is always a favorite volunteer spot for many Junior League members, was treated to two ice cream socials which drew over 60 guests. Honoring Anne Folkes Miller Without the commitment of our volunteers, the League wouldn’t matter as much to this community. So many of our members, as they complete their Active years in the League, choose to take this experience into a number of both non-profit and professional organizations. One our beloved members who embraced this spirit of giving of one’s time and talents was Anne Folkes Miller. At 90 years of age, our beloved Anne passed away on September 24, 2012. Anne cherished her work and friends she made in the Junior League of Richmond, where she circulated with "smart, ambitious women 10

Women

who wanted to do something in the community," her daughter says, and learned skills to get things done. She helped JLR raise funds to buy our Mayo Carter House headquarters at 205 W. Franklin St. During the 1970s, with racial tension mounting and Richmond city growth stagnating, Anne joined visionaries on a board that created Leadership Metro Richmond, devoted to uniting diverse young leaders in a network that would educate and inspire them to work together for the betterment of Richmond. Anne served as the organization’s first Executive Director, where membership today stands at 1,800. Anne’s legacy will live on within the League and the community given her contributions. In 1977, the League honored her dedication by awarding Anne with our first Barbara Ransome Andrews Award established to recognize outstanding service to the community.
