LEAGUE CHATT A PUBLICATION OF JUNIOR LEAGUE OF CHATTANOOGA, INC.

September 2013 Issue No. 2

T he League is a fixture in my mind, my work week planning, and my family’s calendar of activities. What’s next? Where am I needed? What’s on the radar? The phrase “who’s on first” comes to mind when trying

to figure out who has the ball. So I set out to write an article this month about that - you’re on first and we need you to be alert! And as soon as I started down that path it hit me... does it matter who is on first or who is in the game?

In the game of baseball, every position is important. From the outfield to the dugout, each player is integral to a team’s success. While one batter’s goal is to get to first base, the follow up batter may be focused on bring-ing everyone home with a solid home run. The goal of the team is the same - to win! Not just this one game, but the entire series. Bumps and bruises occur along the way but in the end the team is evaluated on their series performance.

Where am I going? The same philosophy or principle applies to our League. We all must recognize that no matter who has the ball our talents are needed to drive home a World Series win. I’d like to ask you to take a moment and ponder where you and your committee’s touch points are in the League. We did this when the Board transitioned this year and while we don’t tend to think about it, we all touch each other. In the “game” of Membership, Natalie Hostetler is on first. But without an amazing team backing her up the game becomes a struggle and an ultimate loss. Supporting the Membership Development Council (MDC) are all the other Councils in our League. You could replace MDC with any other council; the outcome remains the same. Ladies, we are all in this game together!

Because we want to win we practice hard and we play hard. We are determined and focused with a common goal - helping to eliminate food deserts in Hamilton County. Through our Seeds of Change initiative we will be in areas that need us to roll up our sleeves and get down and dirty - literally! We will be safe and we will be our sisters’ keepers. You may not be building a garden this year because you are leading the Clean Sweep fundraiser. But you are still impacting our team’s performance and are essential to our team’s success.

I’m asking that we, myself included, remember that a game is a night - a placement in our world- but a season is months in the making. It's May 31, 2014 bottom of the 9th, down by 1. The pitch comes in and it's a grand slam! This final game is the result of one impressive season. A season which constitutes many individual games that resulted in an overall win, a WORLD SERIES WIN! In May 2014, when we are standing around reminiscing over this League year, whether you are a Sustainer, Provisional or Active; whether you are in the dugout, at bat, or on first; what would you like to have seen accomplished? Make that your goal as we kick off our League year.

The outcome of your placement positions the League for a successful year!

Game On!

What better way to support the League then to do it while your buying groceries! In your next League Chatt or upcoming GMM, you will receive a new key tag. This will replace any previous JLC booster tags. Make sure to take it on your next BI-LO run, and 10% of your purchase will be donated to League for the year.

Corporate Relations News

Planning and executing events is a very difficult task and it has become even more challenging as Chattanooga continues to grow into the vibrant city we all love and as our social calendars fill up quickly. Because of this, the decision was made to move our Savor cook-off event to the spring and combine it with Clean Sweep. These events will take place in March 2014. We will have the exact date of these events very soon.

As many of you may remember, “Brew and Stew” took place during the Preview Party for Clean Sweep in 2010 and was a great success. Savor will move into the Preview Party slot and allow us to make both events more unique and stronger. We have learned many lessons through this process and we will take what we have learned and apply it going forward to make us better volunteers. This shows the benefits of growing from our experiences in JLC and will make us all stronger, empowered and effective leaders who recognize when the need to become flexible arises. We hope that you will start saving your hard goods and join us for what will be an extraordinary event!

While you are preparing for your garage sale, cleaning out your closets, or organizing holiday decorations, please save your hard goods, household items other than clothing, children's items and electronics! Clean Sweep will be here faster than you can say Clean Sweep, so the earlier we start setting aside the better it will be. This remarkable rummage sale will take place this spring. Date & location to be announced. Donations are tax deductible.

Over the summer, a lovely shower was held for Sustainer Billie Rose. Included in the menu was a wonderful dish from the Seasoned to Taste cookbook, the “Nada” Frittata. It is a simple and delicious item to serve at your next brunch or shower.

“Nada” Frittata Serves 6

¾ cup crushed ranch croutons 6 slices bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled 2 cups chopped tomatoes 5 eggs 8 oz. shredded Colby-Jack cheese 1 cup whipping cream 1/8 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons onion flakes ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper 2 oz. can black olives 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg / 4 oz. crumbled feta cheese

Spray a 10-inch quiche pan with non-stich cooking spray. Spread ¼ cup of the crouton crumbs in the prepared pan. Layer 1 cup of the tomatoes, 1 cup of the Colby-Jack cheese, 1½ tablespoons of the onion flakes and half of the olives over the crouton crumbs. Repeat layers. Sprinkle the feta cheese and bacon over the layers. Combine the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl and mix well. Pour over the top. Sprinkle remaining crouton crumbs. Bake in preheated 325-degree oven for 45 - 50 minutes or until set. Cool 10 minutes.

WELCOME THE 2013-2014 FALL PROVISIONAL CLASS

The Provisional Development Committee is excited to welcome 20 ladies to our Fall Provisional class! The August 6 contract

signing event was a great initial introduction to this group of women. They come from many diverse backgrounds in and around the Chattanooga area, and we are excited to see how they contribute to our community through the League. Our goal is to engage JLC Provisionals within our organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Provisionals will interact with our community impact programs, especially Seeds of Change, working to reduce food deserts in Hamilton County. We look forward to a wonderful year!

JLC’s MINI-GRANTS CELEBRATE 25th ANNIVERSARY

For the 25th consecutive year, the Junior League of Chattanooga is accepting applications for its Mini-Grants program. Thanks to our generous partner, Hamico Foundation, we have

$20,000 plus an additional $5,000 from Kashi to fund outstanding classroom projects in the Hamilton County public school system. JLC remains committed to helping teachers provide exciting, challenging and rewarding experiences for their students. Any elementary, middle, high school teacher or team of teachers within the Hamilton County Department of Education is eligible to apply for a grant via the JLC website.

This year, three health-inspired grants in the amount of $1,500 each will be awarded to applicants for projects that address issues related to the JLC Seeds of Change initiative to eradicate Food Deserts in Hamilton County. A food desert is defined as any rural or suburban area where there is low access to affordable or healthy food, for more than 60,000 Hamilton County residents, many of whom are schoolchildren. Submissions for these Kashi-funded grants would include, but certainly not limited to, projects focusing on sustainable gardening, education on food nutrition, and making nutritious food more accessible to these communities.

In addition to the three larger grants, the League will continue to award inspiring educational grants funded by Hamico Foundation for up to $750 each for a wide variety of creative learning projects. Additional information and applications are available at www.jlchatt.org. Deadline is October 15.

GRANT WRITING WORKSHOP FOR TEACHERS AND JLC MEMBERS

Education & Training has partnered with United Way's Center for Nonprofits to host a grant writing workshop on Wednesday, September 11, from 6 to 8 p.m. The session is an introduction to writing grants of all kinds and will provide participants an overview of the entire process from researching opportunities and contacting funding sources to writing a grant proposal and submitting completion reports. In conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the Junior League of Chattanooga's Mini-Grants program, JLC is providing this training not only to League members but also to Hamilton County teachers.

If you are uncomfortable asking people for money in person but still want to contribute to the League's fundraising efforts, this is a great way to get involved "behind the scenes." Grant writing is also a valuable professional skill that can be added to your resume! The workshop, which normally costs $75 per person, is available to League members for only $25. Only 10 JLC slots are available, so reserve your spot today through the Volunteer Calendar in the members' section of the JLC website at www.jlchatt.org.

Participants will earn three membership credits.

MAY GMM & ANNUAL DINNER MINUTES

May 6, 2013 The Junior League of Chattanooga (JLC) Annual Dinner was held May 6, 2013 at Lindsay Street Hall. The Annual Dinner, which serves as the May GMM, was called to order by President Karen Leavengood at 7:30 pm.

President Leavengood thanked everyone for coming, recognized special guests in attendance and called for a motion to approve the March and April GMM minutes. A motion was made, seconded and unanimously approved. President Leavengood then invited Community Impact Council VP, Amanda Kelley, to the stage to begin the presentation of awards. Community Impact Council VP Kelley presented the Active of the Year Award to Education & Training Chair, Angela Ballard, for her tremendous work gathering information for the JLC’s new Community Impact Initiative, for her efforts in cheerfully organizing and presenting education and training for JLC’s members, for volunteering and assisting with the preparation of grant applications for JLC Community Impact Issues, and for laying a sturdy foundation for the work of the next League year.

In the absence of Membership VP, Annie Hagaman, the Member of the Month award was presented by Design & Implementation Chair, Ashley Farless. This month’s award was given to Co-Chairs Jennifer Coker and Carolyn Rose Gardner for their tremendous efforts in organizing and managing a very successful Kids in the Kitchen this past month, which garnished record breaking attendance despite the terrible weather.

Communications Council VP, Stephanie Devine, presented her council’s Member of the Year Award to Jennifer Summerlin for her service throughout the year; she was specially thanked for her assistance with media coverage for Kids in the Kitchen and her efforts as an “ambassador” for that event.

The Fund Development Council Member of the Year award was presented by that council’s VP, Rebecca Brinkley. The award was presented to Leah McDaniel, who did a commendable job serving her committee as Corporate Relations Chair and in support of the Annual Fund; she surpassed expectations in a challenging year.

Natalie Kizziah Hostetler, Provisional Development Committee Chair, presented the Fall Provisional of the Year Award to Jesse Rhymer whose leadership skills and enthusiasm were an inspiration to her Provisional Class and the League. PDC Chair Hostetler then introduced the Fall Provisional class. A motion was made to vote the class into Active membership; the motion was seconded and unanimously approved. Following the vote, new Active members, Jesse Rhymer and Laura Bass presented an inspiring video regarding the Fall Provisional project, “The Next Door,” begun in the fall of 2012. “The Next Door” provides short term transitional services to women recently released from incarceration; teaches job and life skills that assist with a productive re-entry into society. The Fall Provisional class donated many weekends and countless hours renovating the clothing storeroom at the center. The Provisional class collected over 120 bags of clothing from League members/friends of the League totally more than 5,000 articles. Ultimately, the storeroom was renamed the “Next Door Couture.” Members of the PDC and the Fall Provisional class made many more visits to the Center over the course of the year; the video presented at the Annual Dinner starred the women of “The Next Door” and was aptly named “We love the Junior League.” PDC member Lynn Brown and Chair Hostetler thanked the Fall Provisional class for their work furthering the missions of the JLC.

President-Elect Tahnika Rodriguez honored President Leavengood for her service and recognized that the 2012-2013 Board of Directors was compiled of many women who entered the League together in the Provisional class of 2005, shepherded by the then PDC Chair – now, Sustainer, Past President, and Elise Chapin Moon Sustainer Service Award recipient Missy McKenna. Each Board member presented President Leavengood with a bottle of wine and a short comment about the meaning behind the gift. President Leavengood then gave remarks about servant leadership and the mission of the League, volunteerism and training, the opportunities afforded the League’s membership with Seeds of Change and encouraged the membership to continue to positively impact lives through their service in the League.

She thanked her family for their continued support. President Leavengood, the 96th President of the JLC, then passed the gavel to President-Elect Rodriguez, the now 97th President of the Junior League of Chattanooga and its first African American President. This passing of the gavel was met with a standing ovation from the League’s membership and its significance was noted. President Rodriguez then thanked her family for their continued support, gave remarks about her plans for the coming year, she introduced her presidency’s mantra “It takes a village,” thanked her family for their continued support, thanked the membership for its commitment to the League and urged the continued commitment of each member to her task. President Rodriguez then introduced the 2013-2014 Board of Directors, following which she adjourned the meeting.

Respectfully Submitted, Theresa Critchfield,

Secretary, Junior League of Chattanooga
