PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE
|
Eleanor Roosevelt, our sister
Junior Leaguer, once said, “The giving of love is an education
in itself.” We all
know that love takes many forms: love of spouse, love of family
and love of community are but a few. Every day, I see Junior League
of McAllen members showing love in the form of volunteerism within
the community in various ways both big and small - from helping
our children learn to read one book at a time at Children’s Arts
& Literacy Festival to promoting the arts and sciences by
establishing the McAllen International Museum which is now known
as the International Museum of Art and Science.
It is amazing the work that gets done when we unite in our love of giving back
to this community; in uniting our hearts and minds for a greater goal.
We have done so much. Now we need to do a better job of letting others know,
because our job must include promoting growth. We need to let other women know that we are the place where they can make a significant impact.
Are we known for our parties or as leaders in the development of women? Are
we to be praised for our cookbooks or as advocates in the fight to
stop bullying? Certainly without fundraisers and cookbooks we would not be able to do
our mission work. But do we know who we are? Do
we fully appreciate the impact we make on our community?
Times
have changed, and we have, as women, the ability to have a huge
impact on those around us. Much has changed in the lives of women over the past 72 years. Many of our grandmothers did not have careers outside their
homes. Now most of us do, and this fact magnifies the sacrifice of our time, but it also
empowers us to achieve great things as never before.
To get the job done, as they
say, I am asking each member for something precious: your time.
In return I
promise you personal fulfillment and growth and the opportunity to
make our community a better place. Be a proud and willing advocate
for our goals and our mission. Commit to promote
the community good. Excite other women to show the same purpose and commitment. Let us build on the past and secure the future.
