MESSAGES FROM THE PRESIDENT & DIRECTOR PRESIDENT’S LETTER Throughout the Junior League of Baltimore’s 95 year history, our organization has changed the lives of the women who have been our members, enhanced the lives of the recipients of our community programs, and elevated the communities in which we volunteer. This year, in particular, our organization has embraced the opportunity to change. We established new fundraisers and through our strategic planning process created a new framework for our future fundraising efforts. In our community we launched the new School Parental Engagement Program and transitioned our Women’s Mentoring Program into an internship at our Wise Penny thrift store. In the area of technology we researched and contracted our new website and database. This change will allow the organization to communicate more effectively to both prospective and current active and sustaining members, and to build capacity for future needs. Finally, we broke ground and started construction on our Building Opportunities Project which encompasses the renovation of our Wise Penny Thrift Store and addition of a second floor Headquarters and Community space. This new building will create further potential for change by expanding our capacity for membership, leadership development, and programming. Looking back, 2007-2008 was a time of transition, and the decisions we made during the time will move the League forward to meet our strategic vision of “a group of dedicated and invested women headquartered in Govans who are recognized and respected for collectively making a positive impact in Baltimore through volunteerism and civic leadership.” Thank you to all of our members, community partners, and donors for helping us achieve our vision and make it a reality! Best, Megan Tahboub, President, 2007-2008 DIRECTOR’S LETTER This past year, the Junior League of Baltimore reflected upon and celebrated our long and proud history of service to Baltimore. While honoring our past, we challenge ourselves to strike a balance between preserving tradition and adjusting to our ever-changing world to reach our fullest potential. Our members give this organization its power to serve our communities. It is through their leadership and development that we continue to grow our impact to the community. By investing in each member, we are creating civic leaders for Baltimore, both in and out of our organization. But this work cannot be done alone. To continue to strengthen our impact, we need to not only invest within our membership, but to continue to build strong collaborations outside of it. This past year marked many new and strengthened partnerships. We continued our work with the Allstate Foundation in support of our Women’s Mentoring Program / Wise Penny Internship. We welcomed new partners for our Kids in the Kitchen Program, including Kaiser Permanente, Trader Joe’s and the Ravens Foundation, while continuing our partnership with Port Discovery. Our Health Fair was augmented by the support of sponsor MedStar Health and Union Memorial Hospital. Our Boutique Warehouse Sale has generated tens of new partners in local boutique owners for this growing fundraiser and to support our Wise Penny Store year-round. Lastly, the overwhelming support that the Junior League of Baltimore has received for our Building Opportunities Project enables us to secure our future with a facility to continue to train new civic leaders and proudly serve our community and to reach our potential through change. Thank you for your support, Shelly Terranova, Director
