New Member Reception with the JLSA

Wow! Today I went to The Bright Shawl, the headquarters of the Junior League of San Antonio for the New Member Reception. I got to meet my mentor and the cluster of new members she will be mentoring and who will be going through the first year of JLSA with me. I was so inspired by the amount of community service hours are accrued by this organization. There are over 800 active members who complete a minimum of 45 hours of service each year. The ladies in my cluster are so well spoken, accomplished, and strong women who live right here in San Antonio. I am certain that I will make many life-long friends here. From a professional standpoint, I think my students will eventually benefit from my connections with this organization. Maybe I can find them internships?!? Overall, a great day. Wishing you the best year ever....Mel
