MissionThe Junior League of Richmond, founded in 1926, is an organizationof women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing thepotential of women, and improving communities througheffective action and leadership of trained volunteers.

VisionThe Junior League of Richmond empowers, educates, and enhances the quality

of life for women, youth, and families, with an emphasis in the East Endcommunity, through effective programming and collaboration demonstrated

by quality mentorship and family programs that build skills to reach educationalgoals, plan for the next phase of life, and generate pride in the community.

From Our 2010-2011 PresidentDear Members, Donors, and Friends,

Every day, since its beginning in 1926, the Junior League of Richmond has inspired positive change throughout the Richmondcommunity. Though the work that we do has evolved through the years, our commitment to at-risk children and families hasremained steadfast. Not only are we dedicated to those most in need today, but we are grounded in the idea that our members willuse their League experiences to foster a lifetime of volunteer leadership. I have been honored as our 85th President, to be a part ofthis phenomenal legacy of service, and am so very proud of all that we have been able to accomplish throughout the past year.

Some highlights from our 85th year:

• We have officially begun to transition our primary focus impact area to the underserved east end of Richmond. We are so proud to be a part of acommunity-wide effort to strengthen this vital Richmond region.

• 1,114 Junior League of Richmond members served the Richmond community and contributed over 30,000 hours of service through our communityprograms, which included Done in a Day, Families First, Literacy Through Art Outreach, Good Sports, Bright Beginnings, and Kids in the Kitchen.

• Thousands participated in the Junior League of Richmond’s innovative fundraising events, which include the 66th Book & Author Dinner, the 7th JuniorBook & Author, and the 2010 Touch a Truck. These events raised more than $90,000 to support the Junior League of Richmond’s volunteer efforts inthe community.

• Our two Clothes Rack stores combined (Cary Street and Stratford Hills) provided quality, affordable merchandise to over 38,000 customers, selling over154,000 items. The combined revenue increased 10% from FY 2010 which was our best year of growth ever for the Clothes Rack store and helped todrive the overall financial success of the Junior League of Richmond.

• In addition, the Clothes Rack partnered with Richmond Public Schools in the Work Experience Program, providing vocational education to students withintellectual disabilities, as well as re-donating thousands of unsold items to other organizations in need.

• Finally, we had one of our strongest financial performances since 2003, setting the course to ensure financial sustainability for the future. We could not havedone this without the support of our members through cost containment and reduction efforts in spending across all of the Junior League. We are proudthat our hard work and efforts more than paid off!

Every day this work continues and our impact grows. Thank you for all that you do on behalf of the Junior League of Richmond to make these effortspossible. We are so grateful to our membership, donors, supporters, and partners and look forward to all that we can achieve together.

Sincerely,

Rikki DodsonPresident, 2010-2011 1
