Junior League of Mobile Celebrates 85 Years of Service with a Bike Fest

We are celebrating our 85th anniversary this year as we continue our efforts in our current focus area of Healthy Children: Hunger, Fitness, and Nutrition. To promote the Fitness aspect of our goals, our provisional members are planning a Family Festival & Bicycle Rodeo to benefit the children in our community.

Our goal is to gather hundreds of bicycles; to identify local children in need of the physical and other benefits those bicycles may provide; and to give those bicycles, along with a bicycle helmet, and a lock for the bicycle to those children at the Festival, which will be held on April 30, 2016, at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley. The Festival will also provide an opportunity for the children to practice and develop skills while riding their bicycle and, at the same time, learn proper bicycle safety in a recreational setting.

We are inviting everyone in the community to attend and bring their bicycles and all children who participate in the Rodeo, whether they bring their own bicycle from home or receive one at the Festival, will receive an event water bottle if they complete all of the stations at the Rodeo.

Junior League of Mobile Celebrates 85 Years of Service with Community-Wide Kindness Challenge

The Junior League of Mobile, a group devoted to community service and developing the potential of women, is celebrating its 85th anniversary on the Gulf Coast with a challenge.

"We are launching the Kindness Project," said Angie Gulledge, 2015-16 Junior League of Mobile president. "We want to challenge everyone in the community to perform 85 acts of kindness between now and November 13, which is World Kindness Day. After all, a city where kindness reigns is a blessing to everyone."

While being kind is rewarding enough, there also will be an incentive for spreading kindness and compassion throughout our corner of the world. Click this link to read more.
