Other organizations to serve

[ThetaPrincess24]

I'm involved in:

Beta Sigma Phi at the chapter and city level (i'm including it here because it's not an NPC college sorority)
Alpha Kappa Psi Business Fraternity
American Diabetes Association
Multiple Sclerosis Society
I volunteered over the summer at the Senior Citizens's Center's ADult Day care/center for creative living

I'm wanting to join the Junior League here. Those of you that are members of your local Junior League, how have you enjoyed it? Has it been a worthwhile experience for you thus far? How involved is the membership process? Thanks.

Since this is my only Alpha Phi Outlet since nothing is around me any longer i stay active on here ( 50%) of the time...i may not post a lot , but i do read:

I am and involved with the church:

I have served with my church in California as a Deacon
I have also served with my church in my current location as a Deacon

In my current city where I reside:

I serve with the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Committee and their African American women's breast cancer collaborative.
I was working on the American Heart Association heart walk and their Cultural Health Initiatives
I can easily serve on the Urban League, but I am not feeling that right now.
There is a stronger NAACP in this area
And the local YMCA has a girl's mentorship program
My local university has several opportunities to serve.

As a result, the Faculty Senate is recommending that all matriculating undergraduates must serve a minimum of 300 hours of community service as a graduation requirement. I have not seen the formal language so this is heresay.

And I help with fundraising and/or serve on the Board for a few other organizations including Girls, Inc; The Opera Company; and Art Sanctuary (founded by author Lorene Cary).

Remember to watch Star Jones today on Court TV!

I'm active in my church, too. AlphaFrog, I just love handbells, but my group meets at the same time as our handbell group.

I'm also active in several historical groups, from getting elementary students interested to minor reenacting to volunteering at the library.

Vounteer counseling.

I'm in the process of training to read for the blind.

I did some volunteer work with my niece's Sparks group in Girl Guides (that's Girl "Scouts" for my American cousins )
It was fun at the time.

I wish I was involved in another organization, i'm pretty far from my school, and I tried to help out here at Manhattan, but the local sororities didn't really want to hear what I had to say... I think they were too overwhelmed by what I said they had to do... oh well, their loss not mine.

Activity update: I was asked to help out with the praise band (accoustic guitars/vocals)...and then, after I said I would, the person running it comes to me and says that he can't be involved anymore so I need to take it over. AND the person who was doing the Youth handbells is not able to this year, so she asked me to take that over. Wow...I went from being INVOLVED in church activities to LEADING just about every group I'm in.

I'm a member and I have enjoyed it so far. There is a wide range of volunteer and social opportunities. I've met amazing people and I really feel more connected to my community. As a provisional member, I attended classes to learn about the league, and then our new member group had to organize and execute an activity at a shelter for runaway girls. I felt like I was able to get involved with the volunteer opportunities and membership meetings right away though.

I have thought about becoming Freemasons for a very long while....but I am still on the fence about it.
