Make Friends and Make a Difference with the Junior League of the Oranges and Short Hills

Women
interested in making a difference in their communities, meeting new friends and
having fun are invited to attend an informational coffee with the Junior League
of the Oranges
and Short Hills (JLOSH).

The
organization, which has served the community for 100 years, brings together
volunteers to tackle critical needs of women and children in our area.  Recent JLOSH projects include a day of
service when over 100 volunteers worked with 13 community groups to complete
service projects, making over Isaiah House, a young women’s shelter in East Orange, hosting an
Information Fair for teenagers who are aging out of the foster care system,
conducting book drives and assembling and donating Thanksgiving meal baskets.

Sara
D’Andrea, President of JLOSH, explains: “The Junior League is a wonderful way
to get involved in our community.  We
have several projects planned where members can really make a significant
community impact.

“Besides
hands-on volunteer opportunities, we also offer leadership and voluntarism
training to our members. Involvement in JLOSH is also a wonderful way to
develop friendships, and promises to be fun and fulfilling.

The
Junior League of the Oranges
and Short Hills is hosting two morning coffees and an evening coffee for
prospective new members throughout October. 
Children are welcome and the events are free.
