President’s Welcome<br />
Welcome to “A <strong>Vintage</strong> <strong>Affair</strong>!” On behalf <strong>of</strong><br />
the <strong>Junior</strong> <strong>League</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seattle</strong>, thank you for<br />
joining us for this important evening.<br />
For 88 years, the <strong>Junior</strong> <strong>League</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seattle</strong><br />
has successfully met the emerging needs<br />
<strong>of</strong> our community by initiating cutting edge<br />
programs and providing trained volunteers<br />
to lead service projects, community<br />
education programs, and fundraising and<br />
advocacy efforts. Currently, we are excited to focus on educating<br />
and empowering women and children through community<br />
programs. Our three key Focus Areas include: combating<br />
childhood obesity, ending violence against women, with a<br />
particular focus on human trafficking, and working to better the<br />
lives <strong>of</strong> disenfranchised youth and the foster youth <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seattle</strong>.<br />
An evening as special as this would not have been possible<br />
without the tremendous work <strong>of</strong> our Premier Event Committee,<br />
led by Chair Caitlin Echelbarger, and her three amazing Vice<br />
Chairs: Anisha Ishida, Kim Jones, and Tina Quinn. Thank you to<br />
them and to the entire committee for their tireless efforts.<br />
The funds raised this evening will go towards supporting each <strong>of</strong><br />
our community projects and training, helping us to continue to<br />
positively impact the lives <strong>of</strong> many women and children in our<br />
community. Enjoy the evening and thank you for your generous<br />
support <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Junior</strong> <strong>League</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seattle</strong>!<br />
Best,<br />
Renee Hartnett<br />
President, 2011-2012
