Let the League know what happened if you haven't done that already. I'm sure they will be understanding. Given the circumstances you had no choice but to miss the meeting and go to the hospital with your mother. I doubt they would really want a member who made any other decision. They might even have another meeting for those who were unable to attend Tuesday. I don't believe our chapter offers a second opportunity to attend that first meeting, but I know they do for the next, long orientation for new members. As they say, sometimes "life gets in the way" and the League is very understanding as far as those things are concerned. The women who join Junior League are not just at home sitting around the house waiting for a League meeting. They lead very full and demanding lives. If Junior League isn't willing to accomodate people they will miss out on some of their best members!
Give them a call. I'm sure this won't lessen your chances of being invited to join. Your OPA sister just might be able to go with you next time!

MTSU--first and foremost I am glad your mother is ok and I hope things are looking up for you.
I completely agree with Imcurious. The League tends to be very understanding of "life getting in the way." If you're still interested, I really encourage you to just get in contact with someone and let them know.
My best wishes are with you. Keep us posted on how things go!
