Focus Areas
The Junior League of Stamford-Norwalk is committed to responding to the needs of the community. A recent survey of our membership coupled with thorough research in the community has identified our present key focus areas as being:
JLSN members Elaine Hamilton and Catherine Garvin holding twins who are residing at Malta House in Norwalk.
On Saturday, May 3rd the Done in a Day Committee hosted a Mother’s Day luncheon for the mother’s of Malta House, a residential facility for homeless mothers and their babies in Norwalk. The mother’s were treated to a catered lunch and a professional massage. While the mothers were busy eating and relaxing, the JLSN volunteers did some much appreciated baby sitting. The day ended with the delighted mother's receiving gift bags. Thanks to all who helped to make the day such a success!

JLSN 85th Anniversary Celebration

Special guest speaker Sandi Kemmish, President of the Association of Junior Leagues International (AJLI), gave an inspiring speech on what motivates women to become, and continue as, Junior League members.
