There is such great momentum with our Mercedes Raffle Ticket Sales. We have increased from $9,000 to $22,000 in sales. It's exciting to think about how much we will be able to use on community projects and our activities in the league. If you have not dropped off your tickets, please do so at the league office. This will also allow us to plan for our marketing push over the next few weeks.
Don't forget to use the Hollydays toolkit to help you sell your raffle tickets. The toolkit includes email templates and social media graphics that highlight how the money we raise goes back into our work supporting the community. Click here to download.

The Training and Organizational Development Council has responded to our leadership team and our members’ requests to expand our training program. Our Civic Leadership Training Program encompasses a curriculum that will cultivate competency in five domains such as JLBR Leadership, Community Leadership, Personal and Professional Development, and Social Networking. We encourage members to engage in training via experiential learning through your placements, relationship building in small group meetings, networking in special interest groups, and sessions with nationally recognized facilitators.
A multichannel approach with webinars, town hall meetings, books/articles, virtual sessions, and engaging experiences are elements of our new delivery model. Register on your member homepage to join us as we learn and lead.
