As the days shorten and Fall is quickly upon us, I start to think of all of the fun activities for the year ahead. In addition to the hectic schedule that we all have with kids activities, work, school obligations, etc., it is nice to take time for activities that we like to do. One of those things for me is Glen Ellyn Juniors. I find great pleasure in spending precious free time making new friends, renewing existing friendships and working with other women to provide service to others. I look forward to attending the monthly meetings, cooking food for the firehouse dinner, planting flowers in the Spring, and cleaning up the Prairie Path. Furthermore, my Christmas season would not be the same without having fun crafting Jolly Gram letters and spending exhausting hours helping with Christmas Baskets. This really has become a Christmas tradition for me and my family, and was one of the reasons I chose to join Juniors in the first place. I enjoy the opportunity to instill in my children the spirit of giving, especially during the Christmas season when they receive so much.
I hope that each of you can find time to indulge yourself with time to do the things that you enjoy, like reading a good book on a snowy afternoon or baking a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies. I sincerely hope that you too will find our club to be fulfilling. It is my wish this year that whenever time allows you will join me and our terrific Board in participating in the great activities that we have planned for Juniors in 2011-2012, and that you too will find this a terrific place to make friends and memories that will last a lifetime!
