Perspectives 

on our 85th Year 

President Emily Backstrom and Sustainer President 

Becky Odland share highlights and refl ections 

The Junior League of Minneapolis 

celebrated its 85th year in 2008-2009 

with a renewed focus on its members 

and their impact on the community… all 

while moving into a new home. 

“You could really feel a positive vibe 

this year when out at JLM events,” said 

2008-2009 President Emily Backstrom. 

“For me to feel the energy and see 

what a good time everyone was having 

made the year extremely rewarding.” 

That positive energy came from a 

number of initiatives set out by the 

League’s Board of Directors. One 

of the most successful, that Emily 

hopes continues, was the 85 Leaguers 

initiative. Showcasing the personal 

side of its membership, the League 

published short features on 85 

members, including new 

members, transfers, 

actives and sustainers, 

throughout the year. 

“I heard much more 

positive feedback than 

I expected from the 85 

Leaguers concept,” said 

Emily. “It let members 

share their story and bridged generation 

gaps among our members.” 

The major initiatives begun this year 

by the Board of Directors included 

beginning to implement the threeyear 

strategic plan, bringing back 

the Community Advisory Board, and 

implementing a pilot mentorship 

program for first-year actives. 

One of the biggest changes of the 

year, of course, was moving the 

headquarters to The Woman’s Club 

in Minneapolis. “I think the members 

feel that this is the right place for us 

to be,” said Emily. “We found ways to 

collaborate with The Woman’s Club and 

I think that spirit will continue.” 

“I worked with an amazing Board of 

Directors this year,” said Emily. “We 

made this a year of celebration and it 

was so fulfilling to see everything we 

planned for come to life. It will be a 

year I always treasure.” 

Cheerfulness radiates 

from 2008-2009 Sustainer 

President Becky Odland. It’s 

no surprise that in her 26 years 

in the League she has made 

countless friends, served on 

numerous committees and was 

chosen Sustainer President for 

the 85th league year. 

“It is so gratifying to look on the 

sustainer representatives and think 

back on our time in the Junior League 

of Minneapolis,” she commented. “We 

have all helped each other in and out 

of the League and it’s truly amazing to 

think of all that we have accomplished.” 

For the League’s 85th year, Becky 

and Junior League of Minneapolis 

President Emily Backstrom created 

the 85th Ad Hoc Committee to help 

organize and commemorate the year. 

“The ad hoc was specifically formed 

to unite everyone throughout the 

year,” says Becky. The committee’s 

events included the fall bus tour, the 85 

Leaguers initiative, two Impact Days in 

January and the May annual meeting 

celebration. All the celebratory events 

were planned by active and sustainer 

representatives working together. 

Another highlight of the year for Becky 

was serving as Sustainer President. “It 

was a year of leadership growth and 

a League career highlight for me,” she 

says. Looking ahead, Becky is excited 

about the League’s new projects voted 

on in our 85th year: Backpack Buddies, 

Between the Lines and Reading 

Circles. “They all serve very different 

purposes to help us nourish the 

community in new ways,” says Becky. 

“Here’s to 85 more years of the same.”

1951-52 

Continuing their educational 

work in radio and now 

television, JLM produces jointly 

with the St. Paul League a 

TV program, “Music Tells 

a Story,” consisting of 13 

classical music programs for 

children shown on Saturday 

mornings and watched by 

90,000 viewers each week.

girls in Minneapolis public high schools who might otherwise not 

attend or graduate from college. Through Wallin, JLM offers a

peer pressure, depression and the 

affect of media messages. 

2008 

JLM moves to a new 

location, The Woman’s 

Club of Minneapolis, as 

it celebrates 85 years.

Celebrating the Present : Our 85th Year 

It seemed only fitting that in our 

85th year we celebrate with a new 

beginning: we officially moved 

into newly designed space at The 

Woman’s Club and began holding 

both board and general membership 

meetings there. 

Our projects continued to be 

successful. Addressing the link 

between books in the home and 

success in school, Books 4 Kids 

committee members collected, 

sorted and donated more than 30,000 

books to children who otherwise 

wouldn’t have any of their own. 

Membership voted to spin off the 

reading program (Reading Circles) to 

be a stand-alone project. 

2008-2009 was the last year for 

Breakfast Buddies, a mentoring 

program with St. Louis Park Junior 

High, and the first year for Kids in the 

Kitchen, an Association of 

Junior Leagues International 

(AJLI) initiative. Addressing both 

poor nutrition and obesity, JLM 

members provided healthy cooking 

demonstrations and fun tips to lowincome 

kids in partnership with local 

community organizations. 

Helping Hands offered a variety 

of ways for members to help the 

community, from building furniture, to 

cooking meals, to donating items to 

people in need. 

The LeagueAires completed their 

43rd year of bringing the joy of music 

to more than 4,000 people, performing 

in front of inner-city school children, 

developmentally challenged youth and 

adults, and nursing home residents. 

The JLM votes in new projects and 

retires others each year, with the goal 

of having a diverse portfolio of projects 

that meet membership and community 

needs. Based on research done by the 

Project Development committee, two 

new projects were voted in: Between 

the Lines (helping women in prison 

stay connected to their children 

through literacy) and Backpack 

Buddies (bridging the hunger gap 

over the weekend for kids who qualify 

for free- and reduced-cost lunch). 

As always, JLM fundraisers are vital 

to making this community outreach 

and “on-the-job” training happen. 

Taking place on December 30, Eve of 

the Eve offered guests a New Year’s 

Eve party without the hassles. In the 

spring, the American Girl Fashion 

Show showed off historical and 

contemporary clothing and lifestyle 

products for girls. Always popular in 

the community, this event attracted 

more than 1,400 people. 

Throughout the year the Special 

Events Gifts and Grants (SEGG) 

committee organized smaller-scale 

fundraisers and managed the 

grant process and cookbook sales. 

Highlights included Breakfast 

with Santa in December, the 

Bunny Brunch in April, put on by 

new members, and a refreshed 

Annual Fund. 

Membership reached new highs this 

year, with 83 new members and 18 

transfers. Both groups learned about 

the League through specific training 

as well as unique events like an 

expanded fall bus tour in celebration 

of the 85th anniversary. And the 

Marketing/Communications area of 

the League helped everyone celebrate 

the women of the JLM by sharing 

stories of the 85 Leaguers. 

Sustainers continued strong. With 

more than 600 involved sustainers, 

not only do they lend their expertise 

to the active membership by serving 

as advisors, but they also continue to 

serve the community in diverse causes 

ranging from the Minneapolis Institute 

of Arts to the United Way. 

Our 85th year wrapped up with 

our May meeting celebrating our 

accomplishments. We look forward, as 

Becky Odland said, to the next great 

85 years!

Celebrating the Women of the JLM 

In our 85th year, we celebrated the stories of “85 Leaguers” to showcase both the diversity of the League as well as 

what binds us together. At our annual May meeting, we brought many of our 85 Leaguers together.

The League’s legacy is easily recognizable in any JLM member you talk to, yet it also touches each one of us personally. 

The training received through our work on JLM projects and fundraisers strengthens us as individuals. In turn, we 

strengthen our community as we put our skills to work in partnership with numerous organizations across Minneapolis. 

Added to the benefit of training and the ability to help our community are the rich and varied relationships we’ve all built 

over the years. From working hours and hours together on a fundraising event to working side-by-side with kids, what the 

League has to offer enriches our lives in ways too numerous to count. 

All of this is what we celebrate, as we “turn 85” and every year that we work 

together, help the community, learn and grow.
