Public Affairs Team and New Board Members Attend Luncheon With Members of the South Carolina Women's Caucus

Thanks to Emily Brady, the Public Affairs and a few new board members recently enjoyed lunch with hundreds of philanthropic women at the General Assembly Women’s Caucus Jean Laney Harris Luncheon. Similar to the diverse cities and towns represented, the women in attendance came from various backgrounds including stay at home moms, working moms, etc. and they were all there to celebrate philanthropic women.

Darla Moore—who more than lived up to her reputation as a dynamic personality—was the key note speaker. She told us “three stories.” The moral of these personal experiences also came in a set of three:

1) being from rural South Carolina is not a hindrance to getting
ahead in life,

2) do not spray money around and pray it solves the problem, and

3) put your boots on the ground and make a difference.


So, Junior League of Columbia, let’s get those boots on the ground for Healthy Children! We will be in more places serving more faces than ever before with our targeted issues under Healthy Children. The year ahead is full of promise as this year comes to a close with several community events and a fundraiser left to go. Please support the upcoming events. And, as placement dawns upon us, give meaningful thought to where you want to put your boots on the ground during the 2012-2013 League year.
