Fellow Coalition Sister:

Good luck with this event. It sounds fabu!

Not Quite
 

I missed their membership activities for this year, but I have two cousins who are members, one of which is sponsoring me for membership in January. The chapter here just held an event called "Gourmet Gents" that is fabulous. Men from the community come in and cook their best dish. People (usually women) purchase tickets and go from booth-to-booth sampling the food. The money goes to their annual college scholarship. I can't wait to become a member. I will be pretty busy as a new member of that as well as a provisional member of Junior League.

Info
 

I have been trying to get information on the local chapter in my area but to know avail. I contacted their national office and received an email address, but it is no longer valid. I sent correspondence to their USPS mailing address a while ago, but I have received no response. Help! Please any members in PA, send me a PM. I think the chapter in my area may now be defunct because all of the articles I found when Googled were from last year or the year before. Anywho, I am bumping this to the top for others with questions as well.

I take that back....
