Dear Friends,

As I reflect upon the past 365 days and my time as President of the Junior League of Milwaukee, I realize that it has been more than a year; it has been the chance of a lifetime. Having the opportunity to work alongside some of the most committed, dedicated and hardworking women in Milwaukee; is rewarding in itself. I am inspired by their passion and desire to improve our community.

This year has been full of incredible experiences. There were so many, I don’t know where to begin. From the fabulous fundraisers, to the
rewarding community projects and don’t forget those energetic new members, they really were a great group! They are our future and it indeed, will be bright. We had a record breaking Every Member Campaign year and volunteer participation was stronger than ever. To sum it up, the energy was strong.

While this is the final year of our financial partnership with Kids Matter, Inc., I am thrilled that the JLM and Kids Matter CASA decided to continue our partnership for another five years, until 2013, this time through commitment and service. We should feel proud of the Signature projects that the League has initiated, dating back to 1947 when a wonderful group of Junior League women responded to the needs of the community and funded, organized and opened the Blood Center. Now the Blood Center is a world -renowned research institution. What will Kids Matter CASA look like in half a century?

Now as I walk away from this intense year as your President, I will remember the individual commitment of each and every member of this wonderful organization. While reading through the last issue of UPDATE, you will see how these individual commitments add up to one very successful year. I hope you feel pride in all that is accomplished, when we come together.

I thank you for trusting in me to serve as your President; it has been my pleasure and honor. I have received far more than I have given and I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every moment. Most of all, thank you to each and every member of the Junior League of Milwaukee for your time, commitment, service and your love for the League. I leave you with these words……

“Have faith in Yourself,
To be the very Best

Believe in Yourself
Above all the Rest

Know that You are in Charge
Of your Own Destiny,

Make a Difference in Someone’s Life
Through you Passion and Ability.”

With Warmth and Appreciation,

N. Renee Ferrara
2007-2008 President
