organization

With 48 days until Cubes & Crayons officially opens it doors and 41 days until our preview party, the pressure is on. I would be nowhere without my to do lists. Each day starts with one, often with many items from the previous day. The goal is not necessarily to get through every item each day, but to always have a picture of all the items that need to get done.

Women who aren’t familiar with the Junior League often ask me to describe it when they find out I am a member. If they have any knowledge of our organization, they have the “pumps and pearls” picture of well-to-do homemakers sipping tea together and writing checks to worthy causes. In reality, the Junior League of San Jose (JLSJ) is an organization of dynamic, motivated women from all sorts of backgrounds, many of whom are juggling work, marriage, children and multiple volunteer activities.
