Many of ourmembers, as they complete their active years in theLeague, choose to take their skills and experience intoa number of both non-profit and professionalorganizations in the community. Edie Cabaniss is awonderful example of the lasting impact Leaguetraining and support can have on its members.

Eda “Edie” Hofstead Cabaniss transferred to the JuniorLeague of Richmond in 1971 after moving fromNashville, TN. As an active member, Edi served invarious placements including the Clothes RackCommittee, Testing Assistant with the Women’sResource Center, Docent at the VirginiaMuseum of Fine Arts, Assistant Chair ofthe Advocacy Center and Chair of HumanServices of Community Affairs.

Going Aboveand Beyond

Much like the Robinson Theater, the Junior Leagueuses the power of its history to engage, inspire andtransform the lives of its members and thecommunities it serves. The community GMM set thestage for the work to be done over the 2011-2012league year in serving families and nonprofit partnersin the East End while continuing to celebrate theLeague’s 85 year legacy.The Scope of Voluntarism

The Junior League of Richmond makes an impact inthe community in many ways, one being on-goingrelationships with the following Richmondorganizations to deliver programs that enhance thelives of children and families. The League is a regularpresence at these agencies, offering much-neededsupport for staff and the families they serve. Nearly1,000 Junior League of Richmond members served theRichmond community and contributed over 30,000hours of service.

In putting the League’s mission into action, the firstGeneral Membership Meeting (GMM) of the yearkicked-off with a community fair at the RobinsonTheater Community Arts Center that brought togethercommunity agencies and partners to provide familiesin the East End with an evening of fellowship and funactivities. Jennifer Pitts, 2011-2012 President, chosethe Community GMM as the setting for sharing hervision, Engage. Inspire. Transform., for the year’swork. “It’s a continual process we will work on duringthe course of the year,” Jennifer explains, “in whichwe’ll engage in new placements that will inspire changewithin ourselves and allow us to transform not justwho we are as volunteers but also to transform ourcommunity.”

Members from the East End community participatingin the fair included the Richmond Fire Department(Station 5), Communities in Schools, Bon Secours,Blue Sky Fund, the YWCA, YMCA, and Peter PaulDevelopment Center. Volunteers from the League’sFamilies First, Kids in the Kitchen, Literacy ThroughArts Outreach, and Good Sports committees providedhands-on activities, games and healthy snacks for theneighborhood children. This was one of the most well-attended membership meetings on record, which onlyconfirmed our members’ commitment to the East EndCommunity!

Built in 1937, the Robinson Theater is a staple in theEast End community and was named for Bill“Bojangles” Robinson, a native son of Richmond whogrew up to be one of the most famous of all AfricanAmerican tap dancers to headline Broadway and toappear in Hollywood films. The theater’s glowingmarquee was removed and the doors were boarded upin the mid-1980s after a period of unsuccessful uses asa disco, pool hall, and restaurant. In 2008, the theaterunderwent another reinvention – a return to its rootsas an “icon of the transformation of this section ofChurch Hill”. The theater once again is looked to as aplace for community life.


General Membership Meeting CelebratesJLR’s Commitment

The Bright Beginnings committee seeks volunteer and donor support to provide a backpack of educationalsupplies and a "back-to-school" shopping experience for children often involved in League program sites. InAugust, League members served 125 children over 4 nights of back-to-school shopping through JLR’spartnership with YMCA Bright Beginnings.

The Done in a Day Committee collaborated with local community organizations to provide volunteers for half-day projects across the Richmond Metro Area. This year, 62 Done in a Day events were held with at least one inthe East End each month. DIADs afford all JLR members the opportunity for hands on community involvementwith projects benefitting partners such as St. Joseph’s Villa, Hospitality House, Swansboro Elementary School,Meals on Wheels and Central Virginia Food Bank.

The Families First Committees provided programs and special events to 200 children and families at SouthsideChild Development Center and Woodville Elementary School. Interactive children programs focused onactivities related to healthy eating, dental care, arts and crafts, and educational games. Adult programs focusedon health care options, education and positive parenting.

Good Sports promotes character development through athletics for elementary school-aged youth at Peter PaulDevelopment Center. Members worked with approximately 50 boys and girls on trying a variety of sports whilefocusing on the six Pillars of Character as defined by the Character Counts!Program: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, andCitizenship. Lessons were delivered in partnership with groups like FirstTee Golf and Richmond Kickers.

The Kids in the Kitchen committee conducted nutritional outreach eventsat Woodville Elementary School to fight childhood obesity by promotinghealthy eating habits and lifestyles. The events taught approximately 50children the importance of nutrition through healthy snack and mealpreparation. Read more in the following feature!

Literacy Through Art Outreach provides workshops at WoodvilleElementary School. Committee members provided a story and related artproject to 250 children and 250 adults while providing over 220 books toparticipants. The programs were designed to inspire children’s artisticdevelopment as well as help families guide children’s creative play.


2011-2012 CommunityPrograms

“Food is symbolic and represents care, love, and familyand friends,” shares Katherine Jones, 2011-2012 KITKChair. “So much of what we do in everyday life iscentered around food…in the buying, preparing,eating, and even the cleaning up process. As we cookwith the students, we talk, learn, and work togetherwhich makes Kids in the Kitchen a great way for theLeague to respond to the need for promoting goodhealth.”

Through sponsorship from BonSecours and a grant from Kashi,KITK committee volunteers workwith third grade students atWoodville Elementary School duringevening one hour sessions heldconcurrently with PTA meetings. The sessions includeage-appropriate recipe preparation, cooking themedactivities, and take-home items including snack bagsand nutrition tips for the whole family. Highlightsfrom the pilot year include an apron decoratingproject; herb tasting and salad station; healthy snacksampler featuring baked chips, pretzels and guacamole;cheese exploration with cheddar, blue cheese andparmesan; hummus station with carrots and crackers;smoothie tasting; and learning to read product labels.

Kids in the Kitchen Goes Monthly

The Junior League of Richmond’s Kids in the Kitchenprogram has operated for the past three years as a fun-filled one-day event designed to provide educationalinformation and hands on demonstrations to increasestudents’ awareness of the need for healthy habits.During that time, approximately 600 children and theirfamilies from elementary schools and after schoolprograms in Richmond attended the annual events.

Today, the Center for Disease Control reports thatabout one in three American kids and teens isoverweight or obese, nearly triple the rate in 1963.Excess weight at young ages has been linked to highblood pressure, type 2 diabetes and elevated bloodcholesterol levels. There are also psychological effectsresulting from low self-esteem, negative body imageand depression. All of these alarming findings haveescalated childhood obesity to the top of the charts asthe No. 1 health concern among parents in the UnitedStates, surpassing drug abuse and smoking.

In acknowledging this national epidemic, the JuniorLeague of Richmond determined a more active role ineducating children and families about nutrition andhealthy meal preparation was needed. Building on thesuccess and engagement from the annual Kids in theKitchen events, JLR made the exciting decision to pilotKids in the Kitchen on a monthly basis during the2011-2012 League year. By regularly interacting withthose who most need nutritional support, KITK seeksto make a lasting change on the future of area childrenand families.
