If you don't hear back via email, phone them! :)

Good luck!

Call them, and ask them point blank, because you need to make sure your schedule allows you the time:

1) when are provisionals notified of their acceptance?
2) when does the provisional calendar start?

Thinking about it, you might've been able to transfer your provisional-ship from DC to Asheville. When I was on the Board of Directors for JLMiami, I recall a woman who requested to transfer before the year began.

i think it depends on the individual league.

Do the chapters provide pictures of their members?

I've heard there are some great breeders in the Junior League.

rudey, i believe you mean women of good breeding-not great breeding material.

No, no good breeders. Their genes and their breeding abilities will create competitive offspring.

So I sent in a follow up letter today saying that I knew my application had been received, more about why I was interested in joining and that I had had some trouble getting returned phone calls, etc.

We'll see what happens...

Best of luck PhiMuLady! Sounds like a great opportunity!

I LOVED my time in Junior League. To Mr. ALum's corporate relocations, I affiliated with several associations across the US. They were all wonderful experiences!

Great Update
 

I just got a call and e-mail saying that the new class will start in August. The current class will be done in May and I will be contacted in July about when the class starts. She said on the phone message that they would love to have me and that there isn't anything further I needed to do at this point.

Just wanted to let everyone know.

Thank you!

Re: Great Update
 

That's great to hear! :)

My mom and my aunts are sustaining members (I think that is the word) for the New Orleans Junior League. I thought about joining but since New Orleans is about 5 1/2 hours away it would be tough to participate. I had emailed the Memphis JL once but never heard back.

Maybe this will help: http://www.jlmemphis.org/?nd=join

Thanks, I hope they don't have a distance requirement. I live in Oxford, MS which is about 1 hour 15 minutes away from Memphis.

Most Junior Leagues will allow that. For instance, for the Washington DC JL, you could live in NOVA and still be eligible. However, NOVA I believe has its own Junior League. The JL of Asheville is in Boncombe County and I live in Henderson County about 20 miles away and I am eligible because the JLA is the close League to me. But definitly call and ask.
