My favorite meeting of the year is always the Annual Membership Meeting in May. That's when we announce our annual grant recipients, welcome our incoming President, honor our Community Projects and celebrate our outstanding members.
The Junior League of Palo Alto-Mid Peninsula distributed a total of $34,000 in grants to Bay Area non-profits including: East Palo Alto Kids Program, Wings Learning Center, Environmental Volunteers, Blossom Birth, Foundation for a College Education, Hope House – Service League of San Mateo, Resource Area for Teachers, RAFT, Youth Community Services, InnVision
Saying good-bye to First Teachers as we launch it back into the community, League members took part in a popular First Teachers exercise illustrating how reading to our children and doing activities with them daily connects the synapses in their growing brains.
We are saying good-bye to our First Teachers community project and welcoming our new community project, Project READ. Stay tuned to future posts with more information on our exciting new project to promote literacy in school-age children.
