Representatives from organizations including Jericho Road, the Tournament of Roses, Ten Thousand Villages, and many more connected with current Junior League leaders and past presidents to reflect on the League’s lasting impact on Pasadena and the surrounding community.

“This luncheon was a wonderful opportunity for local supporters of the Jr. League of Pasadena to be reminded of our community impact, while meeting the Community Partners who are the recipients of our efforts,” said Rebecca Bird, centennial committee chair. “The room was filled with compelling connection and conversation, inspiring all of us for the next 100 years of service.”
