A Message from your PresidentOver the last several years, each Spring, as I’ve be-

gun planning my fruit, vegetable, and flower gardens, I often think of a poem that appeared in the September 2008 edition of The Pier. The “Junior League Garden” is an excellent piece that can be used to acknowledge this time of year when the League year has crossed over its half-way point, and as we’ve been moving full steam ahead our “leaves” might be starting to wilt! It is especially at this time that we may benefit from a few encouraging words to remind us why we do what we do, and to help renew our drive to press on in execut-ing our upcoming important and exciting events.

At this time I would like to thank a special group of ladies who have worked tirelessly, put-ting in extra hours learning new paradigms and principles regard-ing not only the mechanics of being a good leader and running a successful non-profit, but most importantly providing our valued members with an educational, fulfilling League experience. This group of ladies is our Board of Directors – Maureen Schraven, Nicole Buzzard, Nicole Caldwell, Patty Graziano, Holly Murphy, Sara Temple, Emily Wachter, and Kimberley Womack. I can’t thank you fine ladies enough for going the extra mile to keep our leaves green and strong!Sincerely Yours,

AndreaAndrea Simons-Snedden, JLE President, 2012-2013

Junior League GardenPlant three rows of Peas:

Patience.Promptness.Perseverance.

Then six rows of Lettuce:Let us be unselfish.Let us be loyal.Let us be faithful to duty.Let us be true to our obligations.Let us be open-minded.Let us care for one another.

Plant three rows of Squash:Squash gossip.Squash criticism.Squash indifference.

No garden is complete without Turnips:Turn up for meetings.Turn up for others in need.Turn up with a smile.Turn up to do your personal best.Turn up when.Turn up with a vision.Turn up with determination.

Congrats to Kathryn Proper!KATHryN ProPEr was awarded our Active of the Month for February! Kathryn has been working tirelessly to help chair the RAVE event. She was able to organize and lead the process for the information packets for the mailings for this event. She has become the go-to gal for RAVE, dem-onstrating through her work the mission of women helping build better communities.

Keep up the GREAT WORK Kathryn!

Mondays allow for reserved private tours between the hours of 10am and 7pm (4/29 & 5/13) and 10am and 4pm (5/6). Admission is $15 and $25 for Monday tours. Past show houses net pro-ceeds exceeding $200,000 that allow non-profits to bid on, making compelling presentations that are put to a vote by the JLB general membership.
