TEAM JLE 2014 Takes the Field
-by Vicki McDonald
The Junior League of Evansville kicked off its 54th year
at the August 19th General Membership Meeting at the
Evansville Country Club. President-Elect, Lisa Vaughan,
welcomed everyone to the new League year on behalf of
President Jamie Scales, who was on maternity leave.
The first meeting was full of the great stuff you can expect
from JLE, including the presentation of the Done-In-A-Day
$1,000 Grant to Ruth’s House.
JLE Marketing committee
Throughout the year, JLE gives out grants and partners
with many people, community organizations and businesses
to help our community get healthier, more empowered and
to give help when and where it is needed most. To emphasize
that idea, President Jamie Scales has deemed this year Team
JLE. “Our goal is to work together as League members with
our community and corporate partners to make Evansville
the best place it can be,” Jamie said. “We want to encourage
everyone to join our ‘team’. Whether you are a member of
JLE or not, the only requirement to join is a desire to help
your neighbors and your community.”
At the meeting, all members sat with their new 2014-2015
advisors. Advisors are a critical aspect of Team JLE. They
help members throughout the year, by answering questions,
being a shoulder of support and being a confidant for
members struggling either inside or outside the League.

Part of the fun of the first GM included the introduction of
the hashtag #JLE2014. Many members got immediately into
the spirit of Team JLE by taking team selfies!

In Her Own Words...
New Beginnings.
As my husband and I welcome our first
child into the world, it’s something I think
about a lot. Life is full of new opportunities
and chances to make the world a better place
for future generations. The Junior League
of Evansville provides us with an avenue to
make these opportunities into realities. This
year is already full of new ideas and some
traditional favorites.
Jamie Scales, President
In August, we welcomed 25 new

Provisionals to our League. These fabulous
women will spend the next few months
learning about Junior League, our traditions
and history. We also had the opportunity to work with Women’s Closet Exchange
on a successful new fundraiser: Confessions of a Shopaholic dinner and designer
style and trunk show. We are excited to continue a tradition re-started last year by
hosting our General Membership meetings at the Evansville Country Club. We were
fortunate to be able to partner with 14 WFIE to record a commercial about JLE that
will air periodically on the station. This is a great way to remind the city of our past
and future impact and also a way for us to recruit new women to help in furthering
our mission.
October will bring our annual “Show Us What You Got” showcase at the general
membership meeting. This showcase allows our members to display their local
businesses, giving all of us an opportunity to support them. September also brings
us one step closer to our annual River City Rummage Sale, held October 24 -25. We
are excited to announce a new location for the sale this year, inside a storefront in
the Lawndale shopping complex on South Green River Road. The hard working
rummage sale committee is collecting rummage now.
As we begin this new league year, I’m excited to see what wonderful opportunities
it will bring for our community. Whether it’s new ideas or tried and true traditions,
one thing is certain… this year will be spectacular!
Sincerely,
Jamie Scales

SUMMER FUN
– by Amber Combs
Summer “break” was anything but for the ladies of JLE! With many
committees off and running for the new league year; this summer
kept the local leaguers busy from recruiting, to DIADs, and the big
“Confessions of a Shopaholic” style show with collaboration from the
Women’s Closet Exchange of St Louis.
Stars from the show “Retail Royalty” were on hand, and many JLE
ladies modeled their wares. See full story on page 6.
Confessions of a Shopaholic models and co-chairs at the Women’s
Closet Exchange in St. Louis, MO
The summer kicked off with the first “GLOW Run,” and was met with
much excitement from the community. This summer also provided
many fun opportunities for DIAD hours, which included “Trucks and
Heroes,” SMILE on Down Syndrome, “Frog Follies,” and more. Thank
you to all who completed DIAD hours this summer, along with those
who volunteered for “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and continue
to support the various organizations and events in our community
through volunteerism.
The recruitment committee is one that never stops. These ladies
are always looking to boost JLE by educating and onboarding new
members. Their summer was busy hosting recruitment parties in June
and July at the Reitz Home and area libraries, leading to the wonderful
group of ladies making up the 2014 Provisional class. Welcome ladies!
The summer closed with the first General Membership meeting on
August 19th. The first Project of the Month for the 2014 league year
was United Caring Shelters Inc.’s Ruth’s House. Also highlighted at
the meeting was the new hashtag #JLE2014, and many ladies had fun
trending the hashtag with tagged selfies from the meeting.

Welcome 2014-15 Provisionals!
-by Vicki McDonald
On Saturday, August 2, at Wesselman Nature Society, the
Junior League of Evansville welcomed 25 women to its 20142015 Provisional Class.
Decked out in matching referee shirts, the Membership
Development co-chairs, Stephanie Norrick and Cheryl Martin,
perfectly executed the playbook of Team JLE with megaphones,
pompoms and a few cheers throughout the day!
The day opened with a breakfast straight from the pages of the
official Junior League of Evansville’s Once Upon A Time awardwinning cookbook provided by Cookbook Chair, Tiffany Boyd,
and her committee.
The formal part of the day began with pep talks from Coach
(aka President) Jamie Scales and Assistant Coach (aka PresidentElect) Lisa Vaughn. Membership Development Committee
members Ashley Dunn, Natalie O’Daniel, Mary Rokicki and
Angie Schaffstein along with the co-chairs Norrick and Martin,
educated the new Provisionals on the Junior League of Evansville
and its history.

Women Around the World
– by Stephanie Gerhardt
The Association of Junior Leagues International’s Global
Continuum is a work in progress by the AJLI board to explore
“what women around the world mean to The Junior League”. A few
years ago the board formed the Global Continuum Committee to
further explore the possibilities of global expansion. They sent a
survey to 10,000 random League members to find out more about
their international experiences and interest in global issues. The
results of the survey indicated that Junior League members had
a strong interest in expanding the League internationally, and
looking for volunteer opportunities outside its current borders.
Currently there are only eight leagues outside the United States.
According to AJLI board member Deann Cook, the committee
came up with three questions: How do they go about expanding
The Junior League globally? How can they strengthen
relationships with other women’s organizations that do similar
work? How do they provide opportunities for members to
volunteer internationally?
The focus on her talk at the 2014 AJLI Annual Conference
in St. Louis focused on the third question-How to provide
opportunities for members to volunteer internationally? The
outcome of this question is a partnership with the nonprofit
organization, Cross-Cultural Solutions. This organization
“offers Junior Leagues and their members the opportunity to
5
volunteer internationally, and connect with global communities.
The first trip has already been set to Guatemala in January 2015.
For more information about this trip, you can visit www.ajli.
org/?nd=benefits_ccs.
Cross-Cultural Solutions will help any League plan a trip for its
members. From their page-“they will help you customize a trip
for your League. You and your League can volunteer together,
grow together, learn together, and raise funds all while changing
your lives and those of others. You can choose from one of
ten countries around the world to immerse yourself and your
League members in, learn the culture, and customize speakers
and programs just for your team.”

JLE Struts its Stuff at the
Confessions of a Shopaholic
Runway Event and Trunk Show
-by Vicki McDonald
On August 7, almost 200 “shopaholics” descended on the
Holiday Inn Ballroom for the Confessions of a Shopaholic
Designer Runway Event and Trunk Show. This event was a
partnership between the Junior League of Evansville and the
Women’s Closet Exchange Designer Resale Boutique in St.
Louis, MO.
After dinner of chicken Picatta, JLE members strutted their
stuff down the catwalk wearing items from designers such
as, Gucci, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and more. Attendees were
dancing in their seats to the upbeat music while taking note of
the items the models were wearing from the Women’s Closet
Exchange that would be available for purchase afterwards.
Once the lights came up, the racks were rolled out and the
shopping frenzy began. Lucky shoppers picked up Dolce &
Gabbana shoes, Coach bags, Chanel jackets and much more
all at a fraction of the original designer prices.
The idea for this event started back in December of 2013
when several JLE members attended the December minimeeting shopping trip to St. Louis. While there, the ladies
visited the Women’s Closet Exchange Designer Resale
Boutique owned by the stars of the reality TV show “Resale
Royalty.” Sue McCarthy and daughters, Diana and Laura, lead
one of the best resale boutiques in the country specializing in
brands like Louis Vuitton, Manolo Blahnik, Chanel and Marc
Jacobs, all in pristine condition.
Always making new friends and brimming with new ideas,
the ladies posed the question, “Could we convince these ladies
to come to Evansville, put on a Designer Runway Show and
get Tri-State ladies out to shop all while raising money for
a worthy nonprofit organization?” The answer to all was a
resounding, YES!
Before the Runway portion began, co-chair of the event, Lisa
Vaughn, reminded everyone that while the fashions were hot
and the bargains were big, the effect that all those shoppers
ultimately had was to help our community be better fed,
clothed and housed through the proceeds of their dinner ticket
– a definite win, win for the attendees and our community.
An extra special thank you to the event sponsors, Women’s
Closet Exchange, Bauer’s Tents and Party Rentals, Dillard’s
Department Store, Holiday Inn, Natalie Martin, St. Mary’s
Medical Center and Superior Entertainment.

2014 Executive Board Spotlight
– Lori Samples
-by MaNissa Onstott-Lemon
I learned about the Junior League of Evansville through my
friend, Lisa Vaughan. I was looking for a volunteer opportunity
to serve our community. Little did I know that the Junior
League of Evansville was more than that! I knew I wanted to
join a group that’s purpose was service, and that’s what I found
in the Junior League. I have always had a desire to help people,
and volunteering has allowed me to continue to do just that.
The volunteer hours I have done through the JLE have brought
tears to my eyes and also laughter in my heart. Volunteering
has made me a better person and a servant to others. Not only
have I been blessed to be a part of the process in helping others,
I have started to set an example for my 2 ½ year old son. My
desire is that he will want to volunteer when he gets older.
Throughout my four years in the League, I learned more
about Evansville and other nonprofits than I ever knew
existed, and I have lived in Evansville most of my life. I have
gained continued life skills that have helped me personally
and professionally. These skills have allowed me to grow in
my career and create a great network of supportive women.
Most importantly, I have gained friendships! These friends are
women that I have ran a marathon with, who have thrown a
baby shower for me, have a glass of wine with, cheer on my
successes and can count on during a time of need. I can’t
imagine the last four years without these amazing women!
Lori Samples
My love and passion for the League drove me to decide to
pursue a JLE Board position. I felt like I could use my passion
for what JLE’s mission is and become a part of the process in
building and training future leaders of the league. I cannot
wait to see what this year will bring and the greatness and
leadership that will flourish in our members. And just as
my JLE friends have done for me in the past, I will be there
for the future members of JLE cheering and celebrating in
their successes.

JLE Endowment Fund: The Gift that Keeps Growing
by Katie Sims
Last year the Junior League of Evansville launched the JLE
Endowment Fund – an investment aimed at providing the
League with a perpetual source of revenue. Through this fund,
League supporters have the opportunity to give a gift that will
preserve, protect and widen our philanthropic footprint in the
community for years to come.
How Does it Work?
Donations to the Endowment Fund become principal that
is invested to create interest income. Once the fund reaches a
$100,000 level for four consecutive quarters, a percentage of the
interest will become available for the League to use in support
of its projects and programs, operating expenses and capital
projects. This approach will help ensure the long-term financial
security of JLE.
Why Does JLE need an Endowment Fund?
The League raises most of its funds for community programs
from yearly fundraisers such as the Rockin River City Rummage
Sale, Rockin River City Bike Ride and the JLE Cookbook.
While these fundraisers are the primary source of income, the
revenue generated varies from year to year – but the needs in
our community continue to grow. The JLE Endowment Fund
will sustain the future of the League and its ability to meet these
community needs.
What is the Benefit of Donating?
There are many reasons to donate to the JLE Endowment Fund:
• To honor family, friends, events and remembrances
• Flexible donation options:
– Multi-year pledges or one-time gift (cash, checks or
credit card contributions)
– Stocks and bonds
– Bequests, estates, wills and trusts
• Tax deductible, in whole or in part; please check with your
accountant for specific details related to your donation.
How do I Give?
Call the League office at (812) 434-6710 or mail your
contribution to: Junior League of Evansville, 123 NW
Fourth Street, Suite 422, Evansville, IN 47708. For additional
information, contact Office Manager, Melissa Wagner at
jleoffice@courtbuilding.com.
Contributions to the JLE Endowment Fund are considered
contributions to a charitable and educational organization
under the IRS Code 501(c)(3) and, as such, are tax deductible
to the donor.
