Dear Member,
At our General Meeting on November 17th, we were treated to an address from our County Executive Chris Collins about "Transforming the WNY Economy," and also a lively panel discussion concerning "Change Agents in WNY," with such high-profile panel members as Ed Healy - Vice President of Marketing for the Convention and Visitors Bureau, Jack Walsh - Chairman of the Board of the Darwin Martin House, Mary Roberts - Executive Director of the Darwin Martin House, Tom Dee - President of the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation, Catherine Schweitzer - Chairman of the Board of Preservation Niagara, and Monica Faix - Project Coordinator of the Richardson Olmsted Complex -- moderated by the JLB's own Mary Ann Kresse. Each spoke briefly, and then participated in a question-and-answer session with our Junior League members.
If you missed the meeting, please follow these links to discover how some of our local organizations are taking advantage of our rich cultural heritage, our architectural assets, and our unique community, to bring about a Renaissance in the Greater Buffalo economy.
Sincerely,
Anne Leary, President
Junior League of Buffalo |

| Junior League in the News: Spree HOME |
 The Junior League of Buffalo Decorators' Show House 2009 was recently the cover story of the Fall issue of Buffalo Spree HOME magazine! More than 12 pages of glorious photos showed the handiwork of some of our decorators, and the entire project was a tribute to the work of all of our volunteers.
Thanks to all who contributed their time and energy to make this year's Show House yet another enormous success!
The process for granting the Show House proceeds has already begun, and we look forward to seeing how our efforts take shape in a worthy community project!

| Junior League in the News: Gerard Place |
 Recently, The Buffalo News printed a story about Gerard Place, the recipient of $225,000 from the JLB - the proceeds from our last Show House, The Silverthorne Mansion! The money was used to renovate the convent and former church next to Gerard Place, and now it is The Junior League of Buffalo/The Buffalo News Education Center.

Bus Tour: 2009 Provisional Class Getting to know each other & having a great time!
 By: Nancy Reimann
When you can get a group of strangers who all share one common goal - to give back to their community - friendships begin and miracles do happen in our own backyards.
We are the 2009 Provisional class - and our first outing impacted many lives in so many ways. I'm not going to re-cap our bus tour - the pictures will show that you can learn about the special local organizations while bonding with people that have no agenda but to better the lives of others, and selfishly perhaps, our own.
What's in store for us - what experiences will we be sharing next spring? I can only say I'm looking forward to it! Stay tuned.....
Go to our JLB Photo Gallery (see info and link - next article), to see the photos... |
