Perspective
"With age comes perspective." I really admired the way in which Ms. Tomlinson presented her lecture. She had a very distinct before-and-after situation with easy-to-follow transition in between. During the first part of her lecture, she spoke about the limited perspective of the Junior Leagues with which she was associated and then how she made her own contribution in helping to widen that perspective and improve their system.
She said that purpose of the Junior Leagues is "exclusively educational and charitable." In order to include More volunteers, she backed up, found out what her perspective was by setting some goals, and did what she could to reach those goals. One goal she set was to help bring to light the needs of the volunteers. A second goal was to make the Leagues more open and transparent as well as mobile.
She ended by letting us know about various local events associated with the Junior Leagues and how they have impacted our community. I've never really noticed anyone wearing red tights the first week of November before I heard about Apple Annie Day from Ms. Tomlinson.
I'm glad to have had the opportunity to gain this new perspective on what Junior Leagues are and what they do!
