Why did you join the Junior League?
I joined the Junior League of Omaha to learn more about agencies serving the Omaha community and to become an active volunteer.
What was your favorite placement and why?
I have loved both of my committees! I became very involved in A Book of My Own as a new member and continued on that committee for two active years. I love the busy work and the impact it has on individual lives in our community. Now on Done-In-A-Day, it is great to get out in the community and do work! I feel I have been placed right where I belong all of my years in the League so far.
