Moving
from New York City to John’s Creek, GA was a HUGE change for me! Not only was I
recently married, buying my first home and starting a new job, I did not have
many friends (or any family) in the greater Atlanta area.
I had a very basic understanding of The Association of
Junior Leagues International Inc. I had friends that were in different chapters
(New York City, Montclair, NJ, etc.). My original perception of Junior League
was that it was for stay-at-home moms who baked pies and wore pearls and heels
(which was NOT me)! So, I never joined.

After moving to
John’s Creek, I wanted to get involved in my new community, meet new friends
and learn more about my town. My friends (in other AJLI chapters) encouraged me
to seek out the local Junior League chapter. This is how I found The Junior
League of Gwinnett and North Fulton Counties.
