thanks..
 

thanks a lot. i was the b'more league, but the commute was alot. hq for dc is near hubby's job so it works out better for us.

you should really think about joining when time permits.

Oh it's still on the list :) Lord willing, I'll apply the next time the window is open.

I'm a provisional member! Our retreat starts on the 9th of Sept. I was extremely impressed with the work they do. The women are so friendly. I am overwhelmed by the programming.

Congrats darling1 and abaici!

Yay!
 

Congrats! You'll love the JLW. I'll probably see you around.

hey
 

i plnned on e-mailing you...lol. i am very excited. i got the e-blast and was VERY impressed by the activities coming down the pike.

i do hope to see you. its always nice to put faces with names.

JL is kicking off here again...
 

Hello and thanks in advance for allowing a board crash :)!!

I am going into my 3rd year as an active and next week will be volunteering at the School Supply Give Away for the community. If you are able to get in and join do it...it is the one thing I do "for myself" (LOL volunteer) aside from kids' activities, PTA, being a sports mom, etc!! And I got a call tonight to learn my placement this year on the Membership Committee!!

This organization is a great way to connect with other women in your area and do work that you might not be able to otherwise contribute to.

Congrats and welcome to the League Soror :D

Thanks!

If this question is out of order, just tell me and it will cease and desist. How expensive is it? Is it similar to the dues we already pay in the terms of sorority or much more expensive?

(interested and trying to get info)

well...
 

i think it depends on your league and the area. b'more league dues were $150. with menu responsibilities you can pay well over that--im thinking $500 or more. dc dues are i think $250 (firecracker can correct me as im a transfer).

it can be a lot especially if you have a family so be mindful of that when you are deciding. im sure the ladies here who are in sororities can provide you with more clear cut information :) .

Our dues...
 

our dues are $120.00 per year. There is a fundraising auction dinner which is $40-50/plate and the annual May luncheon or dinner runs around $50.00. When I was a provisional we didn't pay dues until we became actives if I remember correctly.

Dues
 

$175 dues plus Ways and Means credits can be gained through ticket purchases or thrift shop purchases

I've been in lurker status for a minute! Now I'm coming out. I recently became a provisional for JLLA also. I joined so that I could meet some like minded women and jump in and do some work! Maybe I'll see you at the retreat on the 9th. Are you planning to go to the Starlight Arcade event?

This is really interesting. They do a lot of work in my area as well. I'm going to look into it.
