We are most grateful for the creative talent and time dedicated by Ginny Lawrence,
JLR Member, on the design of this year’s Annual Report. Additionally, we would like
to thank Natalie May, Iris Holliday, Alexis Fisher-Rizk, Katherine Jones, Katrina
Amos, and Sibyl FaJohn for their contributions.
Dear Friends,
What a wonderful year it has been for the Junior League of Richmond!
We kicked off the fall with an inspirational and energizing visit from Toni
Freeman, President of The Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc.,
who shared with us her passion for being a Leaguer for Life. Toni’s message
was the perfect complement to kicking off our Annual Fund campaign theme of
“Be a JLR Anchor,” recognizing that an anchor is vital to providing stability and
support.
The momentum continued as over 3,200 participants attended our interactive
Touch a Truck event, celebrating the personnel who protect, serve, and build
our community, and then as we rebranded our Book & Author Event with a logo that will stand the test of time. We
were delighted this year to bring Book & Author to our East End partner families with a “Taste of New Orleans”
program featuring world-renowned chef and cookbook author, Lolis Eric Elie.
Whether from an event ticket purchaser or a corporate sponsor, support received from our annual fundraisers plays
a critical role in funding our community programs that serve the children and families of Richmond and beyond. We
are extremely grateful for living in such a generous community that enables our training and community programs.
I am particularly proud of the community focus at this year’s General Membership Meetings and the correlated
record attendance. By featuring East End partners at each gathering, we educated our entire membership on the
magnitude of need in our local neighborhoods and on the various ways we can individually and collectively use our
talents to make a difference. Our guest speakers broadened our perspectives and demonstrated our shared
commitment to the city’s underserved population.
The Board of Directors and Strategic Planning Committee have my heartfelt thanks for taking the time to ensure a
collaborative and thorough planning process. The thoughtful work they performed is reflected in our new Strategic
Plan and will allow us to move forward as the most effective possible organization.
It has been a true privilege to serve as the President of the Junior League of Richmond, and I take pride in being a
member alongside such remarkable women. The League has made me feel a part of the local community and has
positioned me to continue serving Richmond and beyond. For that, I am tremendously thankful!
I invite you to learn more about the Junior League of Richmond by going to our newly redesigned website -www.jlrichmond.org. We welcome new members to join our volunteer efforts in local neighborhoods and new
partners to support our mission of building better communities!
Michelle Barthelemy Miller
2013-2014 President
The Junior League Ripple Effect
Nearly 90 years of experience has taught the Junior League of Richmond that strong leaders make strong
communities. By training women to be effective collaborators and committed volunteers, the League equips
members to go out and serve their communities. We are grateful for the women who not only serve the needs
of our League, but also provide service to other local organizations.

The General Membership Meetings were
focused on bringing the local community
to Junior League members. Special
guest speaker Heidi Abbott shared her
passion for the Creighton Court
community. Councilwoman Cynthia Newbille
moderated a community panel featuring
Communities in Schools, Blue Sky Fund,
and ChildSavers that provided insights
on the needs and challenges they face
everyday and ways JLR members can
help. We also heard the emotional
personal story of a high school student in
an unstable housing situation until
Change the World RVA provided support.

The Training Institute for Leadership
Impact (TILI) provided 11 classes to JLR
members, promoted live AJLI webinars,
and organized a roundtable of community
experts at the February General
Membership Meeting focusing on
pertinent social issues that impact
community volunteerism.
Members
participated in courses that supported
personal, professional, and volunteer
growth, including Personal Finance and
an exploration of the women’s leadership
book, Lean In.
Property improvements and building staff
capacity were the focus for The Clothes
Rack as it entered its 66th year. Nearly
40,000 customers were welcomed by the
new artistic window displays at Cary
Street and reorganized sales floors at
both store locations. Anna Vanneman
joined the team as Assistant Director of
Retail Operations and Sunday hours
were added at Stratford Hills.
The
Clothes Rack was proud to complete its
7th year of partnership with Richmond
Public Schools in providing merchandise
processing and preparation training to
students with learning disabilities.
“Community support sends an astounding message to our students that
the community cares about them.” Natalie May, Change the World RVA
Twenty up and coming JLR members
attended “Leadership Day” in April,
where they not only learned about
effective leadership skills but also heard
from three “seasoned” leaders. Carrie
Roth, CEO of the Virginia Biotechnology
Research Park, Jessica Ronky Haddad,
the new managing editor of Richmond
magazine’s R•Home, and Jayne D.
Shaw, Director of Development at the
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, shared
their stories and experiences.
This
valuable day is provided annually by TILI.
The Community Advisory Board (CAB)
provides a two-way communication link
between the League and our community.
CAB members offered valuable input this
past year during the strategic planning
process. CAB members provided insights
on new and changing needs in the East
End. One area of focus recommended
was resident engagement, which has
been incorporated into the new plan as
the League explores opportunities to
work alongside community residents on
volunteer projects.

Done in a Day (DIAD) had a great year
organizing over 50 events and
continuing to work with some of our
favorite partners - Hospital Hospitality
House (HHH), Peter Paul Development
Center, and Woodville Elementary. DIAD
worked for the first time with Richmond
Promise Neighborhood to organize
volunteer support for Info Feast programs
serving East End families. Volunteers
prepared meals for HHH, went caroling at
Lakewood Manor, planted a garden at
the Evelyn D. Reinhart Guest House,
decorated SCAN’s waiting room, and
celebrated Thanksgiving with Anna Julia
Cooper Episcopal School students.

We are thrilled that last year included the
start of a new partnership with RPN, which
has been valuable to the League’s work on
supporting residents of the East End. It was
a busy first year as the League participated
in Family Engagement Research Based
Action Team meetings and provided
volunteers for two Community Field Days
and four Info Feast programs that
collectively served 1,750 residents. With a
shared vision for improving educational and
developmental needs of children, we look
forward to continuing our collaboration with
Richmond Promise Neighborhood and to
building on last year’s successes.

Teaming up with Peter Paul Development
Center, our 5th year of providing Good
Sports to students in 3rd and 4th grades
was a home run! Good Sports brought in
area athletic teams to teach the students a
variety of fun and challenging sports while
modeling the characteristics of honesty,
courage, compassion, generosity, fidelity,
integrity, fairness and self-control. One of
the year’s highlights was a visit from the
Richard Bland Community College men‘s
basketball team. It brought big smiles to
the kids’ faces when the entire team
walked into the gymnasium for our
program night!
This year we partnered with Anna Julia
Cooper Episcopal School to bring Kids in
the Kitchen to a group of 7th grade girls.
The goal of the Kids in the Kitchen
initiative is to prevent obesity and its
associated health risks by empowering
children and youth to make healthy
lifestyle choices. Students rolled up their
sleeves alongside Junior League
members to prepare four healthy dinners
and participate in educational activities.
The program year culminated with a
healthy dinner at a local hibachi
restaurant.
“The Junior League of Richmond is making good on the mission of ‘building a better
Richmond’ through its infrastructure & skilled workers.”

Literacy
Through
Arts
Outreach
Committee (LTAO) strives to instill a love
of reading through art by hosting monthly
events for children and their families.
One of the monthly programs was a
Family Fun Night held at the Northside
YMCA. Volunteers read “The Story of
Ferdinand” and children made masks
related to the characters with help from
their family members. Families also
received a copy of the book to take home.
The 2013-2014 League year was full of
heartfelt relationship building for the
Mentoring Committee. Ten dedicated
women committed an hour each week
from October through May to spend time
with a child at Martin Luther King, Jr.
Middle School in the East End. Much of
the time was devoted to learning more
about the child's home life so that
mentors could more adequately enhance
their mentee’s experience while at
school. The group had an end-of-year
celebration at Jumpology, and fun was
had by all!
Literacy
Through
Arts
Mentoring
The Families First program held six
monthly events during the school year for
3rd and 4th graders and their families at
Woodville Elementary. Each program,
serving between 50 and 60 people,
consisted of dinner and an interactive
seminar focusing on topics such as study
skills, health and nutrition, and cultural
awareness. Students received takeaway
materials and books. The committee also
helped sponsor a "book tasting" program
during the school day for the entire 3rd
grade, as well as breakfast for the
teachers of Woodville during Teacher
Appreciation week.

“As our community outreach evolves and expands, we will continue to see
exciting progress in the communities and organizations we serve.”
Katherine Jones, Community Vice-President
Cherry Peters, a member of the Junior League of Richmond for 46 years,
started volunteering in grade school, and she hasn’t stopped since. She
admits that there is no better feeling than making a difference in people’s lives.
Cherry was recognized for her commitment with her selection as the 2014
YWCA Outstanding Women Awards Honoree in Volunteerism. She received
this distinguished award “for her ability to take a group of diverse individuals
with different interests and organize them into a team that utilizes everyone’s
strengths to work toward a common goal.” This award specifically honors her
work with FRIENDS Association for Children, an organization that prepares
children for success in school and life. Her resume of volunteer work includes
the FRIENDS Association, the Junior League of Richmond, United Way, the YWCA, and the Visual Arts Center. In the past,
she has received JLR’s prestigious Barbara Ransome Andrews Award in celebration of her exceptional volunteer service
to the JLR and the Richmond community. She has been a servant leader in her church, Second Presbyterian, for 40 years.
Cherry’s leadership, selflessness, and commitment to volunteerism have made a significant impact on the Richmond
community for more than four decades.
Barbara Ransome Andrews Award
The Barbara Ransome Andrews Award, named for one of our most esteemed and beloved members, honors a Sustainer
member’s outstanding community service. This award is the highest and most prestigious award presented by the JLR, and is
given to a Sustainer who has distinguished herself by service to her community and the Junior League through extensive and
exemplary volunteer activities. This year’s recipient, Jane Helfrich, joined the JLR in 1982 and served in many leadership
capacities, including President. She went on to be JLR’s first Executive Director. Outside of the League, she helped found Court
Appointed Special Advocates, Communities in Schools, and the Sacred Heart Center. Jane has served in leadership positions
with Historic Richmond Foundation, Fan Free Clinic, and United Way. She currently is the CEO of Richmond Metropolitan Habitat
for Humanity. Jane demonstrates true servant leadership and continues to work to make her community a better place.
Pinkie W. Smith Award
The Pinkie W. Smith Award, established in 1998, commemorates the exemplary service and dedication to volunteering that was
evident in the life of Pinkie Smith. This award for excellence in volunteerism was awarded to Heidi Vaiksnoras, an “unsung hero”
who consistently performs above average League requirements and demonstrates excellence in volunteer work, dedication, and
loyalty to the JLR. Heidi has served on the Board of Directors as Finance Vice President and Assistant to the President, as well
as in Community, Membership, and Events Councils. It is not her specific placements or level of leadership that define her as a
recipient of this award; it is her character, leadership style, and integrity that truly elevate her to this high honor.
Community Volunteerism Award
Sara Shelton received the Community Volunteerism Award, which recognizes a member who has contributed significant,
outstanding volunteer time and effort to improve the quality of life in the Richmond community. Sara has served on committees in
both the Membership and Community Councils, as Vice President of Community, the Director of Communications and as a TILI
faculty member. Her selfless devotion and infectious passion for the League and community are why she is so deserving of this
recognition and award.
Sustainers are women who
have volunteered for a
minimum of 10 years in the
Junior League, and continue
to play a vital role in the
organization. These life long
members continue hands on
service in the community,
participate in educational
programs, give back to the
League by serving on
boards and committees, and
work with Actives in an
advisory capacity. Many
Sustainers continue service
as “Sustainer Doers” and
work on community minded
projects throughout the year.
Sustainers helped to welcome

Their numerous projects
have included hosting meals

stocking the food closet at
the Fan Free Clinic, and
landscaping projects at the
Southside Child Development

After years of hard work and
dedication to serving the
community, the Junior League
of Richmond’s Sustainers
know how to have a good
time together and enjoy
social programs, such as
book groups and trips. Also,
monthly Dining Divas outings
are a fun way to try new
restaurants and to engage
new Sustainer members. In
September, a Fall Sustainer
Luncheon is held where
League
friendships
are
renewed and annual program
plans are shared.
Sustainers also enjoy meeting
sustaining members from other
Leagues who have recently
relocated to the Richmond
area. They plan activities
that allow members to get to
know each other while
exploring the Richmond
community. They have been
on canal boat rides, museum
outings, and dined at local
restaurants. Additionally, a fall
and a spring cocktail party is
held at the Mayo Carter House.
Sustainers are a valuable
source of support and
inspiration to the League as
a whole. They frequently
attend General Membership
Meetings and JLR events,
demonstrating their support
of Active members and the
League mission. Sustainers
also provide historical input
and expereince on important
decisions that help drive the

Active members can look
forward to being a part of a

League, and the good work
that Sustainers continue to
do makes a valuable

Sustainers volunteer their time to
serve as drivers for authors in

Author Event.
Touch a Truck
Over 3,200 attendees came out to Richmond International Raceway for the 8th
Annual Touch a Truck on October 5, 2013. We are amazed year after year by
the generous support of Liesfeld Contractors, Inc. and all of our dedicated
sponsors. We’re thrilled by Touch a Truck’s growing attendance, making it one
of Richmond’s premier family events! This unique and interactive day allows
children to see, touch, and safely explore their favorite big trucks and heavy
machinery, as well as to meet the personnel who protect, serve, and build the
Richmond community. Net proceeds of more than $35,000 were raised for the
JLR’s training and community programs. Additionally, members of the League
and our community donated nearly $700 to the Classroom Sponsorship
campaign, which provides underserved children and their families participating
in the JLR’s community programs with complimentary admission. Over 100
children and family members from Peter Paul Development Center, Southside
Child Development Center, and Woodville Elementary School redeemed
sponsored tickets and enjoyed the day of fun and learning.
Book & Author
This year the JLR welcomed seven nationally-acclaimed authors to the 69th Book
& Author Event, including Corban Addison, Lolis Eric Elie, Dan Harris, Daniel
Jones, and James Swanson. Athough Carol Wall’s health prevented her from
attending, we were treated to her story through husband, Richard Wall. While in
Richmond, the authors met with media, visited a variety of schools, and attended
the Luncheon at the Country Club of Virginia and Dinner at the Greater Richmond
Convention Center. New this year was the opportunity to work with Richmond
Promise Neighborhood and Healthy U 7th District Health and Wellness Initiative to
organize a program for families in the East End to meet cookbook author and chef
Lolis Elie. Elie shared his love for maintaining old recipes and community traditions
and provided a tasting of his red beans and rice recipe from cookbook, Treme. We
are grateful for Dominion Resources’ continued Presenting Sponsorship and for all
of the support that generated $49,000 in net proceeds for the JLR’s mission.
The Junior League of Richmond focuses on developing community programs that combat childhood obesity and illiteracy,
promote nutrition, exercise and healthy life style choices, and build strong and stable families to support children’s scholastic
