Mothers, League Role Models by Reagan SuchOn Mother’s Day everyone should showappreciation for that special lady whohas made you into the woman you aretoday. The Publications committeenoticed how many active members arethe daughter or daughter-in-law of aSustainer. As the daughter of aSustainer, I can tell you that it is quite remarkable to share theLeague experience together. My mother joined the Leaguebefore I was even born, so I grew up listening to her talkabout it, and eventually volunteering alongside her. I neverwould have guessed that we would both end up being soinvolved together. It has certainly helped us become greatfriends. We asked other Actives to share their thoughts aboutfollowing in their mother’s footsteps.My mom, Catherine Toomey, has beena member of the JLBR since the early1980’s. I grew up with the League. Iwas always brought to events andmeetings so I guess it was only fittingthat I would become a JLBR membermyself. It is nice to attend functionsnow with my mom, knowing that together we are making adifference in the community in which I was raised. It is alsojust a nice way to be able to spend time together when ourlives are so busy. – Mary Glynn CullinanWhen I was growing up in Memphis, the Junior League was afamily affair. My mother, grandmother and my aunts all belongto the League. At my house my mother was always running offto a JL meeting or having the ladies over for lunch. I heardabout the League my whole life. When I told my mother threeyears ago that I was joining the Junior League of Boca Raton,my mother, now a sustainer in the Denver League said ‘Well it’sabout time.’ Now when I call her and vent about how busy withwork and League activities I am and why I haven’t called latelyshe totally understands. – Melissa WilliamsMy mother-in-law, Annie, introducedme to the League when I moved to Bocain 2003. We have shared so manygreat times chatting about what theLeague means to us and where our differentinterests lie. I have come torespect her not only for all her accomplishmentsin the community but also as a fellow Leaguer andfriend. I feel so fortunate to have such a completely cool secondmom! – Morgan M. GreenIt is great to be part of an organization ofsuch motivated, inspiring women! Iadmire our presidents each year for theamazing amount of energy and dedicationthey have. It is fun to imagine whenmy mother-in-law, Kathy Dickenson, wasa president of this League. I can still see. . . continued on page 12mother’s day feature11
