Community Corner

Make Friends and Make a Difference with the Junior League of the Oranges and Short Hills

Women interested in making a

difference in their communities, meeting new friends and having fun are invited

to attend an informational coffee with the Junior League of the Oranges and Short Hills

(JLOSH).




The organization, which has served

the community for 100 years, brings together volunteers to tackle critical

needs of women and children in our area. 

Recent JLOSH projects include a day of service when over 100 volunteers

worked with 13 community groups to complete service projects, making over

Isaish House, a young women’s shelter in East

Orange, hosting an Information Fair for teenagers who

are aging out of the foster care system, conducting book drives and assembling

and donating Thanksgiving meal baskets.



Sara D’Andrea, President of JLOSH,

explains: “The Junior League is a wonderful way to get involved in our

community.  We have several projects


planned where members can really make a significant community impact.

“Besides hands-on volunteer

opportunities, we also offer leadership and voluntarism training to our

members. Involvement in JLOSH is also a wonderful way to develop friendships,

and promises to be fun and fulfilling.



The Junior League of the Oranges and Short Hills is

hosting two morning coffees and an evening coffee for prospective new members


throughout October.  Children are welcome

and the events are free.
