Spotlight on a JLC member
Alston Robertson has been an active member of the Junior League for ten years! She began with the Junior League of Washington, in Washington, D.C. in 2003, and transferred to the JLC in 2006.

The Woman in Pink
As a provisional I felt that going to a parlor-style meeting really appealed to me. The idea of going to some place intimate and cozy, while listening to something I’m interested in just speaks to me. Call me crazy, or call me maybe as Carly Rae would say. Anyway, this month I had the opportunity to educate myself about “The Woman…
Flywheel — Firsthand Experience
If you’re looking for a super intense workout, then Flywheel spinning is for you. I joined some fellow Junior League members at the free class on earlier this month.

Recipe: Junior League of St. Louis Cinnamon Rolls
Long before I was a member of the JLC, I associated the Junior League of my hometown, St. Louis, with one thing: the best cinnamon rolls I’d ever had. I was too young to give much thought to what the Junior League was or why they made those delicious rolls, I was just content to scurry into the kitchen and…
Thoughts from a new member
Is all that glitters really gold? I joined the Junior League of Charlotte as a provisional last fall with high hopes. I have several close friends in the league so had seen it as a way to give back to the community and to make new friendships. It seemed like a really fun group where something was always going on…
