(JLP) is holding two open houses for prospective members on Saturday, Aug. 18 from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. and on Saturday, Sept. 8 from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. at the League’s headquarters. Ladies from the Pasadena area and beyond interested in learning more about the League’s over 85 years of leadership and service in the community are welcome to attend.

Prospective members will learn about the League’s mission: to develop the potential of women, improve communities and promote voluntarism and the opportunity to meet with current members about the League’s exciting service projects and why it’s named as one of Pasadena’s “50 Inspiring Charities” by THE Magazine in 2011.

“The Junior League of Pasadena gives women an opportunity through mission centered volunteer efforts to make immediate impact to better the community while carrying on the 87 year legacy of our League,” stated Robyn Grandy, JLP 2011 Provisional Committee Chair.

In addition to a hands-on experience in contributing to community causes, League members receive training in leadership and advocacy skills, management, marketing and communication skills. The Junior League of Pasadena encourages all women who are interested in joining to attend the open houses to learn more about becoming a part of its community.

The open houses will be held at the League’s headquarters located at 149 South Madison Ave. in Pasadena.
