the program’s inception an estimated 50 years ago, Greenlee says. JA chapters are also known in their communities for their annual fundraising events, particularly their cookbooks. Since 1956, when the Louisville, Miss., chapter put out the first collection of JA recipes on file at NAJA, select chapters have produced books of their own to fund their community work. While not all chapters compile these cookbooks, Silver Spoons, Blueberry Afternoons, the first NAJA cookbook, came out in 2008 and features recipes from chapters across the South. The cookbooks are wildly popular, and with good reason. The recipes are delicious, and the proceeds benefit a cause so timeless it has bridged the nearly 70-year gap between NAJA’s first 100 members and the thousands of hardworking women affiliated with JA chapters today. “We do work tirelessly because there are so many people in need in this community,” says Lea Margaret Hamilton, president of the Greenville chapter. “If we can just make a difference in a handful of people’s lives, I think we have done a great service,” For more information on the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries or to purchase the cookbooks, visit www.najanet.org.
