I recently moved back to NC (Henderson County) after living in Washington DC. In June of 2005, I was accepted (by application) into the provisional member class of the Junior League of Washington DC. Because I had akready amde the decision to move, I wrote the League a very nice letter thanking them for the invitation and explaining why I couldn't accept it. When I moved back, I sent an e-mail to the Junior League of Asheville asking about provisional membership but I never got any response. In December of 2005, I called The Junior League of Asheville (located in Buncombe County) and inquired if I was eligible because I lived in Henderson County and they said yes because it was the closest league to my residence. They also said they would send me more information. They never did. About four weeks ago, I discovered that they had the provisional application on their website, so I printed it, filled it out and sent it in. I called last Friday just to make sure they had gotten it, they had and I was told that the person in charge of the applications had been out of the office due to a death in the family and that she would be in contact sometime this week. I'm unfortunitly not the most patient person, and when I applied for provisional membership in DC, I didn't hear anything for almost 4 months. But I don't know a lot of people in Asheville/Hendersonville yet even though I've been here for almost a year so I am not sure how The Junior League of Asheville operates in terms of a timeline. Any advice? Besides being patient
Thank you,
