Long time coming...
Two of a Kind was held in February and a great time was had by all. Plus, it looks like we met our fundraising goal for that event which is great news for our community projects next year!
Last weekend, we also hosted about 30 young women at BLOOM and outfitted them for the prom. This is a great project if you have never been. These young ladies are so excited to go home with the dress of their dreams, shoes, handbag and jewelry! They also had their hair done and earned gift certificates to various fun spots around town. It really is a heartwarming experience to watch the excitement on the faces of these young women.
And lastly, the board has been busy working on new community project proposals and completing the goals we laid out at the beginning of the year. We only have a few months to go and so far we are right on track.
Thanks to everyone for your service to our organization and to the community. We really appreciate it!

JLL Recruitment Event
November Board Meeting
The JLL Board of Directors met on the 6th of November. We used a portion of the meeting to do a mid-year "self-assessment". We talked about how we are operating as a Board, what is going well this year and what could use improvement. Run Wild quickly became a hot topic with the discussion revolving around whether or not we are making a real impact on the community with this event. After much discussion, we all agreed to look at this event top to bottom to see what we can do to make sure we are making a measurable impact on the community in future years.
We also discussed HollyDays, the upcoming Art andd Gift Market, the annual plan, our recruitment event (it was last night), the Two of a Kind Gala, our community impact numbers and more. Everything is on the web so check there frequently for upcoming events!
