Congrats PhiMuLady150! Glad it's worked out.

OleMissGlitter: each League has different residency requirements, partly because they don't want to step on a neighboring League's toes. DEFINITELY call to find out.

This became an issue when I was on the Board of Directors in the Junior League of Miami. Many of our members lived within the JL of Ft. Lauderdale's area, but worked in Miami, so they wanted to join the Miami group, because it would be easier to attend meetings.

how does one start an interest group in an area for a Jr league chpt? we dont have one here though there is one 1 1/2 hr away and no one likes that drive far. Does the league only stay with only established chapters or do they form new chapters occasionally?

Holy smokes... $195 just to submit your application!

I've been a member of the Junior League in a couple of different cities, but I have a friend who lives in a smaller town that has a Junior Service League. (Although every time I talk to her she talks about being in "Junior League") What's the difference? Are they like colonies or interest groups for AJLI groups?

Ooh, an expansion thread? (kidding). Contact www.ajli.org and see what their criteria is for expanding. Good luck!

as i understand it, junior service leagues are typically located in smaller cities. they perform much like junior leagues;i.e., have new member classes, sustainers, actives, and contribute significantly to their communities. ladies i have know who were members of junior service leagues referred to them as "service league", not junior league. they are different organizations, both doing good work.

Yeah, I mean the Junior Service League sounds like it does a whole lot of the same things as Junior League, and I was wondering if there was actually a difference. My friend's org really does a lot for the community.

I hope this didn't sound like one of those "real vs. fake GLO" posts where certain people try to put down service GLO's. It's not what I intended at all. I promise I'm not one of those posters from another website.

it wasn't taken that way. :-)

the difference is that they are different organizations.

I'm glad I found this thread!!

I'm hoping to apply for the League here in Atlanta in a few months (April/May is when they are taking apps for provisionals again) and I'm very excited. I've been wanting to do this since last year.

HOTDAMN

Are you talking about the DC league application? I'm on the membership committee for the DC league. If you have questions feel free to PM me.

Glitter, there isn't a JL where you are but there is Junior Auxiliary. http://www.najanet.org/ It's similar to JL but it's concentrated in the south.

It's $125 in Atlanta.
And that is not counting the $153 Membership Fee you pay!

irishpipes · #73 02-23-2006, 03:30 PM

The Tulsa JL has a $120 annual membership fee, a $90 additional Provisional (first year) fee, and as a Provisional Member (i.e. pledge) you have to buy 4 cookbooks at $25 each and you have to work 2 3 hour shifts at a particular fundraiser. Sounds like hazing to me, but maybe Hoosier would know for sure.

I am happy to say that I received word today that I have been invited to be a part of the 2006-2007 Provisional Class of the Junior League of Asheville!

FSUZeta · #75 07-21-2006, 08:10 AM

congratulations!! you will meet so many interesting and dynamic women-in your provisional class as will as the league itself.
