We salute the Junior
League of Miami (a volunteer organization of close to 1,000 women) and its new
leadership for the coming year. From their annual
Women Who Make a Difference awards banquet and the yearly Golf Tournament, the
Junior League of Miami’s memorable fundraising activities directly benefit
their community ventures. Their projects focus on families at risk of
homelessness, violence, children's and women's health, early childhood
education and foster care. The JLM’s mission is to promote volunteerism,
developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the
leadership of volunteers. At the JLM Annual Meeting on May 8, 2012 at the
University of Miami, Past President Dana Martorella announced the new 2012-13
executive board. Pictured: Past President Dana Martorella with
