Junior League announces 12 new members

SYRACUSE — The Junior League of Syracuse, Inc., a nonprofit organization, announced that this spring it welcomed a new membership class of 12 people. 

The new members, from across Central New York, come from a variety of backgrounds and will be joining committees across the Junior League for the upcoming year. 

This year’s new members are: Jalyn Burnett of Liverpool, Karen Fejta of Jamesville, Karen Gell of Baldwinsville, Nicole Hurley of Syracuse, Lauren Kerr of West Monroe, Maeve Lanning of East Syracuse, Sydney Miller of Syracuse, Francesca Neiley of Liverpool, Malissa Nicolini of Syracuse, Sarah Potter of Cicero, Season Seferyn of Syracuse, and Dessa Tampio of Jamesville.

The new members spent their provisional year engaging in activities that fit into the framework of “Our History, Our League, Our Language, Our Community, Our Structure, and Our Requirements,” the organization said in a news release. Under the heading of Our Community, they participated in volunteerism by visiting residents at Elderwood, making cards for the military, and preparing boxes for the mobile food pantry at the Food Bank of Central New York. The members also took part in regular Junior League volunteer activities including serving turkey and sides at the Blodgett Thanksgiving Dinner and playing bingo with the residents at Junior League partner, Chadwick House. They also worked at the two Junior League fundraising events: Holiday Shoppes and Corks and Forks, Brews and Chews.

The Junior League of Syracuse was founded in 1920 and is part of an international organization that promotes local volunteerism and strives to develop the skills and talents of its members. The Junior League says it will be holding an informational event on Aug. 25 at the CNY Philanthropy Center at 10 a.m. for women who are interested in joining.
