So did you drop out or are you a member of Junior League? If you did drop out, why are you referring to "our" league and "we" and "my class" in your post?

You're not going to make a very good detective. I've already been up front about the fact that I dropped out. You are quite obsessed with me aren't you. I'm flattered!

"Our" Junior League has a wonderful program, (just as "our" fire department is wonderful, even though I'm not a member but it serves my community as does the Jr. League).

I was quite impressed with the work of "our" league.. and the provisional new member training was outstanding! But the League wasn't for me. I don't like sitting through long business meetings. That was my main gripe. They were required, and they went on and on and on ad naseum.

Now, I'll let you get back to searching my posts. Have fun!

sorry to hear some people have had bad experiences with the Junior Leage, especially JLW. I'm wrapping up my first active year and I have had a great time. We just closed the recruitment cycle for the 07-08 year and interest continues to be VERY high.

hey Firecracker and fellow JLW'er!
There were some old posts in this thread about JLW being cliquish. I'm sure it can be but I've had a great time so far AND we're doing some great community programs.

I think that in any group of people, you will find people that you gravitate towards and "mesh with" and those that you don't. It's part of the human condition. But hopefully people will be kind and behave with diplomacy towards the ones that they have less of an 'interpersonal chemistry' with.
