Junior League of Duluth Leadership Institute
JLD is pleased to announce the 2012 sessions of the Leadership Institute. This series is brought to us by a generous grant from the JLD endowment fund. It is a BENEFIT of membership in JLD and is no cost to our members. If you haven't been able to join us for the first 2 sessions, no problem! Join in the sessions that interest you!
Session info and updates can be found on the JLD Facebook page. For questions or to RSVP, please contact Nicole Widdes at 724-0894 or nicwidd@gmail.com.

Seeds of Success
Members of the JLD helped prepare the 2012 Seeds of Success site for planting, by pulling out rocks and setting up the perimeter for the electric fence on Saturday, April 21, 2012. To see these ladies in action, click here. Seeds of Success will be needing more volunteers throughout the summer. To see a list of dates and their newsletter, please click here.
Annual Dinner
The Annual Dinner will be held at the Kitchi Gammi Club on May 15th. Please be sure to return your reply card before May 5th so the food order is placed properly. You will have a chance to update your membership photo for the yearbook starting at 5:30. If you haven't received your invitations by April 24th, please contact Barbara Carr at Barb@CarrQuote.com or 218-728-0154. We hope to have everyone attend this year!

Community Funding Awards 2010-2011
The recipients of this year's awards have doubled over last year's requests. They have been contacted and have expressed much appreciation. For some it means more participation for children, safety equipment, and for others a safe environment with mentors. Click here to see the list of organizations that the awards went to.
