As we begin a new League year, I am both honored and so very grateful to have the opportunity to serve as the President of the Junior League of Lubbock.  This year, we are celebrating an extraordinary milestone-90 years ago the seeds of what later became our Junior League were planted when the Junior Welfare League of Lubbock was founded by a group of women committed to making their community a better place to live.  Since September 8, 1935, our organization has been a driving force for a positive change in our community, and this year we proudly celebrate nine decades of impact, dedication and leadership here on the South Plains.

Our legacy is strong, and our future is even better.  This year, we will reflect on our history while looking boldly ahead-committed to advancing voluntarism, developing the potential of our members, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of our trained volunteers.

Our league remains steadfast in its mission to provide our members with meaninful opportunities to grow, lead and serve. Whether it’s through hands-on community service, targeted training opportunities, or leadership development initiatives, we are investing in the future-not only of our League, but of the Lubbock community at large.

I invite every member to embrace this celebratory year with enthusiasm, purpose, and pride.  Let us honor the remarkable women who came before us by continuing to build a legacy of strength and service.  Together, we will write the next chapter in the story of the Junior League of Lubbock.

Cheers to 90 years- and the many more to come.

With gratitude and excitement,

Ginny Simpson
