Missing Link September 2011 - Junior League of Arlington
Volume XXIV, Issue 1
The Missing Link
SEPTEMBER 2011
From the President’s Desk
It’s September and time to begin
a new JLA year! The year will
be filled with new experiences
as well as our long-standing
traditions.
Various committees have been
hard at work this summer to
ensure a dynamic, engaging and
meaningful year together. The
Admissions Committee organized a social in July at
WineStyles for prospective new
members and kicked off the
Provisional class with a full day
retreat in early August. On
Saturday, August 20th, the Backto-School Fair was held and
ALL of the backpacks went to
children of AISD! All the members of JLA have worked hard
this summer whether on a committee or serving in the community and I want to extend my
thanks.
You may recall we asked for
member’s input on how to make
your JLA experience more
meaningful and we heard you!
In order to be efficient with your
time, there are a few new and
exciting opportunities this year.
Special points of interest:
∗
Learn the new day and
venue for the Tee It Up
For Charity Golf Tournament.
∗
Find out how you can help
the Permanent Endowment
Fund.
∗
Get your calendars ready
for the Journey Through
Fall.
∗
Your work is making a
difference. Read the Community Thank You Letters.
For the General Meetings, we
will incorporate training, business and community service.
For the September General
Meeting, Jacqueline Lambiase,
a professor at TCU will be
showing us how to promote
Junior League in everything we
do. This will count as a training credit and General Meeting
credit. To incorporate community service, the Education
Committee is asking everyone
to bring canned foods to the
meeting in September. The
cans will serve as our centerpieces for the meeting and will
be donated to a local food pantry. Appetizers will be provided at each meeting for everyone at no charge. As you
know, cash donations are always accepted.
The Community Vice-President
(April Ott) and your Member-at
-Large (Mendi Schutte) have
been working this summer to
find meaningful ways we can
serve our community. Some
will be incorporated into the
meetings and others will be
additional opportunities that
can be done in a day.
Whatever you have committed to do this year for Junior
League, whether it’s volunteering in the community,
working on a fundraiser or
providing administrative support, it’s through your dedication that we continue to make
an impact on the Arlington
community.
It is an honor and privilege to
serve YOU, the Junior League
and our community this year.

Back-to-School Fair Helps AISD Students Prepare for New School Year
The 2011 Back-to-School Fair
successfully completed its
mission to provide much
needed backpacks to 1000
students from Arlington Independent School District
(AISD). More than 20 JLA
members, friends, and family
worked shifts to direct families to community resources,
backpack distribution areas,
and AISD provided transportation. AISD Superintendent
Jerry McCullough stopped by
to thank everyone who participated. Six schools benefited in the event: Knox,
Crow, Berry, Rankin, Atherton, and Blanton. A special
thanks to the committee members for another successful
Back-to-School Fair: Chair,
Andrea Chavez. Asst. Chair,
Julie Reinhardt. Sustaining
Advisor, Lauren Tatum.
Members, Rachel Gordon,
Mary Spears, Theresa Austin,
Valerie McDonald, and
Rocky Jones.

What you like about JL or a special experience: The Junior League
has helped me meet new people while giving back to the community and
helping others. What a perfect combination of civic leadership,
professional development and “grown-up” fun. It gives me a sense of pride
to reflect on our efforts over the years and to think about the many new
friends I can always count on.
One of my favorite memories of JLA was my provisional year on Bargain
Barn. I was on the transportation committee which meant that I would
drive around with other provisionals and pick up people's LARGE donations. We laughed and giggled every time we went to someone's house for
a pick up because we definitely did not look like we had the strength to
move some of the items. Fortunately we made every pick up and found a
new home for them all.

Permanent Endowment Fund Has More Than One Way to Give
Established in 1995, the Permanent Endowment Fund (the “Fund”) was created to eventually provide a
perpetual Fund that would produce income for the repair, maintenance, and improvement of the Center
for Community Service, JLA’s largest permanent project.
Generally, permanent endowments for charitable organizations like JLA invest and retain their principle
amount forever and merely spend the income for their given purposes. Individuals usually make
donations to endowment funds BECAUSE they believe the organization is “doing great things and is an
important long-term component of the community”.
Currently, JLA’s Fund is capitalized at $73,000. The capital was raised primarily through the generous
donations of JLA members and the fundraising activities proposed and approved by the Fund trustees.
Any donation to JLA not designated to a specific cause, goes toward the Fund. This year, the Fund’s
committee will be actively raising capital through the following means:
•Dining for PEF Dollars – Quarterly restaurant dining events where the restaurant donates a
portion of net sales proceeds from the event day to JLA.
•Promotion of year end, tax deductible giving to JLA. Check with your employer to see if they match donations.
•Sale of Mother’s Day cards to honor the special mothers in our lives.
•Estate beneficiary – encourage members to consider making a gift through
estate planning or to include JLA as a one of the beneficiaries of their IRA,
401K or life insurance policy.
• Honorary memorials – donations to the Fund made in honor or memory of
someone special. Why spend money on flowers when you can honor their
memory by providing lasting support to our community?
• Become a member of “iGive” when making purchases through Facebook. iGive.com provides
its free services to its members, one or more of whom have listed Junior League of Arlington and
chosen to support JLA by donating up to 26% of their online purchases.
• Link the Junior League of Arlington to your Tom Thumb reward card to have 1% of your
purchases donated to the Fund. Good Neighbor Number 11713.
JLA’s Procedures and Bylaws state that until the annual income on the Fund exceeds 2.5 times the
building operating expenses which are approximately $40,000 each year, the corpus may not be spent.
Therefore, we cannot spend from the Fund until it reaches at least $100,000.

Sustainer
Happenings
It’s time for another fun-filled year!
Our Fall party will be held at the home of
Brandee Kelley on Thursday, September
22nd at 1300 Canterbury Court, Arlington,
76013. Time: 6pm - 8pm. Invites will be
sent via email, snail mail & Facebook.
RSVP by September 15. We are striving to
utilize a variety of communication tools to
ensure everyone is made aware of our
upcoming events. With the exception of
Bookworms, all other fun group gathering
dates are still being finalized, and more
information will be coming to you soon.
Nickey Gilbert says that in September the
Bookworms group will read “Cutting for
Stone” by Abraham Verghese and the
reviewer will be Sue Lavender. Come and
join them at the JLA Center for Community Service, at 12:30 p.m. on September
21. Lunch will be provided. If you have
any questions, please contact Nickey at
gilbertnwg@att.net.
Jane Hatton is staying on as the Bunko
Coordinator, and she will be surveying
interested Sustainers to determine best
times/dates for Bunko events.
We are looking for additional host homes
for upcoming JLA Sustainer events. If you
are interested, please let me know. We
will probably need some locations for both
large and small gatherings.
This year one of my goals is to increase
our support to JLA – to really put more
focus on the “Sustain” part of our title:
“Sustainer.” Soon I will be providing
details on various ways you can plug in to
help out.
In addition, another goal is to increase
attendance and participation at our JLA
Sustainer events.
I’m also hoping to have some Provisional
Class Reunions, so if you are interested in
helping out with that please let me know
ASAP.
If you’re interested in reviving the Tour
and Travel group, let me know. It would
be awesome if someone would volunteer
to head that up again.
I am looking forward to an amazing and
memorable year with you!

Admissions News
On June 19, 2011, the Admissions Committee
held a summer social at WineStyles in
Arlington. The social provided a fun environment
for Provisionals to meet each other,
committee members and President Paulette Tutor. The
event was a great success and
the Admissions Committee would like to
thank everyone who was involved.
The Admissions Committee held the Annual
Retreat for the Provisional Class Saturday,
Aug. 6. The retreat kicked off with a breakfast
provided by committee members and a
welcome speech by President Paulette Tutor.
The morning also included an icebreaker
activity and a bus tour around the
city of Arlington. After lunch, the provisional
members completed the retreat with teambuilding
activities. The Admissions Committee
would like to thank all the participants
who made the retreat a huge success and all
League members who are sponsoring new
Provisionals.

women’s shelter….and the list goes on. Stay tuned each month for an update
on how the money we raise gives back to those in need.
You have given us feedback over the last several years regarding more opportunities to serve in the community. The Community Council and I are committed to providing more Done in a Day/Done in a Meeting opportunities this
year. Mark your calendars for Friday, October 7th as we volunteer to work the
After Dark in the Park hosted by the River Legacy Foundation.

Community Partner Spotlight: Immunization Collaboration of Tarrant County
For many children, the need for the
necessary immunizations before the
beginning of the school year can
easily turn into an issue that can
cause them to miss the first day,
sometimes multiple days, of school.
The Immunization Collaboration of
Tarrant County (ICTC) has worked
since 1991 to provide children with
immunizations needed for school.
Junior League of Arlington volunteers partnered with the ICTC this
summer at their low cost immunization clinics serving as assistants who
helped to check in and assist families
who needed immunizations for their
children.
Photo Courtesy of Immunization Collaboration of Tarrant County
Junior League of Arlington members were assistants during the
immunization clinic held at Everest College in Arlington this summer.

WHAT IS A QUORUM?
The number of voting members who must be present in order that business can be legally transacted.
In order to determine quorum requirements for Councils and Committees you should consult JLA’s Policies Approved by the Board of Directors in Section II. Councils (particularly subsection D. Meetings),
Section III. Standing Committees, and Section XIV. Terminology, A. Committee Members articulate
information regarding what constitutes a quorum, and who is qualified to vote and be counted toward a
quorum. These must be read together in order to determine specifics for each council and committee.
In order to determine a quorum necessary for our General Meetings, you should consult the JLA's Bylaws (Article VIII. Meetings, Section 6), which states that "One Fourth (1/4) of the voting members shall
constitute a quorum at general membership meetings."
