DONE IN A MEETING

In September 1999, the Junior League of Lansing began collecting items during their monthly business meeting. The Done In A Meeting projects are a way that JLL is able to help meet the needs of the greater Lansing community on a monthly basis. Examples of items collected for distribution to various community projects include chap stick and toothbrushes to Otto Health Center, infant onsies for Haslett Family Learning Center, markers and puzzles for EVE, socks and underwear for VOA, hair products for Haven House, baby wipes and laundry soap for Hannah's House and Beaner’s Gift Certificates for Mother’s Day Gift Bags. |
