Junior League of Eau Claire has been making a difference in our communities since 1931. First, as the Women's Service League of Eau Claire from 1931 - 1992, then in 1993 as an official Junior League. As we start 2020, our 89th year, I can't help but think of all the women that have come before me. The leadership of these women have paved the way for our current and future league members. So, while 2020 has started out challenging, scary, anxiety-ridden, and a whole mess of other emotions, I know, that like the women before me, we will find the light and get through this. Together. We are Better Together. The past year has been incredibly successful. The Diaper Bank generated enough donations to make a second bulk diaper purchase - that's more than we anticipated! We brought women speakers from different organizations to teach us about food insecurity, human trafficking, and other topics that impact our communities directly. In the coming year, I have the same dreams for our league. I want to continue to make our league stronger - make a bigger impact. Our focus will be on furthering education and creating opportunities for our current members and, hopefully, connecting with other women leaders in the Chippewa Valley to strengthen the membership of our league. The Diaper Bank will continue to be our League's Signature Project for the foreseeable future. We've seen the impact we've had with our Diaper Bank and know there is still significant need. As we navigate our way through this seemingly impossible time, know that Junior League of Eau Claire is here. We're working to bring leadership in our community. We're working to understand the issues affecting the communities we live in. We're working to make a difference. We're listening. To the current Junior League of Eau Claire membership, I thank you for the opportunity to lead. I'm so happy I have each and every one of you in my life and look forward to the future. If you've been thinking about joining Junior League, check out our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram for announcements of events. The majority of our events are open to the public and don't require membership to attend. Junior League is open to all women and is committed to diversity. Drop by a meeting to see if we're a good fit for you! As scary as it is right now, I can't wait to see how the rest of 2020 unfolds for us. Let's move forward. Together. We are Better Together. Warmly, Emily Cinquegrana
