“When I was recruited to NJ (from California) 20 years ago, I knew no one in NJ. I contacted the Junior League to see if they had an active sustainer group. I'll never forget that first sustainer lunch I attended and how very welcoming so many were to me. It made such a difference in my transition - I'll forever be grateful.”
-Paulette Roberts
Member of the Junior League since 1976
Retired President of Meridian Health Affiliated Foundations
