Miller says that during that charter year, which was her final year as Junior Woman’s Club of Arlington’s president, one of the members volunteered to serve as adviser and got the club organized and on track planning projects and programs. “We all know that many hands make light work, no matter the size of the hands doing the work.” “All GFWC affiliated clubs around the work do work relevant to their own community needs through volunteer service in the arts, education, conservation, international outreach, public issues, home life and so much more,” Miller said. In that timeframe, Miller has been very active with the girls.
With this idea in mind, in 2017 the Junior Woman’s Club of Arlington voted to sponsor this new service organization for young women ages 12 to 18, and the Arlington Juniorettes and were officially re-chartered by the General Federation of Women’s Clubs.” “In late 2016, a particularly active group of student volunteers, all daughters of members, approached our club leadership with the idea of starting an affiliate club to encourage their peers to volunteer outside of their schools, sports, scouting, etc. “The Juniorettes were originally chartered in Kearny in the 1960s under the Woman’s Club of Arlington and have been through several incarnations, being both formally and informally organized over the years since then,” Miller said. Miller gave us an education about what the Juniorettes are all about. And it’s our hope that perhaps there are more civic- and volunteer-minded girls out there who would consider joining the club.
Their work is tremendous - but we thought, how much does the public know about what the Juniorettes do during the course of the year? So we decide to highlight what they do, thanks to their fearless leader Brandi-Leigh Miller. Last week, we brought you the story about how the Arlington Juniorettes were spearheading a project to collect feminine products for young women who are unable to afford them and who are thus often forced to miss many days of school during the year.
