Have No Fear, the Junior League is Here!

By Judy Ma, Charter Member

Established in 2010, Wa Sung's Junior League is a promising and upcoming place for all young adults, ages 18 to 26. Our main purpose of this program is to provide support and resources for the young adults in this age group that is often neglected when it comes to specific age-oriented clubs and organizations within our communities. It is within this age group that many individuals are beginning to embark into the both frightening and exciting path of life and the real world. No longer are parents holding our hands to our first day of school each year; rather we are walking to the overcrowded lecture halls of colleges and universities with nothing in our hands but the anxiety of graduation day and the mystery of what are we faced with once we step off the stage. While many of us are still living at home, others are leaving the nest and looking for new places to start a life of their own. Working, earning a living, looking for jobs and building possible careers; having to learn how to cook real meals, paying bills, student loans, starting a family, supporting your family; these are just a few of the many things that young adults face today. Life may be stressful, but we at the Junior League understand this and are here to help you each step of the way!

On behalf of the Junior League, I would like to invite you to join this amazing group of individuals and embark on a journey of networking, leadership, and community service. As a junior league member, you will be able to gain many beneficial skills through volunteerism and workshops that we as a group would be organizing and leading. Events such as job fairs and career days, leadership retreats, social events, and much, much more! We would also be helping out the already established events of Wa Sung such as the annual Easter Pancake Breakfast and delicious Crab Feed fundraiser. As a new Junior League member you will receive $100.00 Wa Sung Bucks to be used at 5 General Meetings, where dinner is provided, a $10.00 gift card for food or coffee, an official membership shirt, name badge and Wa Sung pin. Annual membership fees for Junior League members are $25 which is significantly less than what the general Wa Sung membership has to pay. Junior League meetings are optional and are on dates which are most convenient to the members. Want more information or an application to apply right away? Simply contact any Wa Sung member, write to us at P.O. Box 1561, Oakland, CA 94604, or e-mail us at wasung2001@hotmail.com! I look forward to meeting and getting to know each and every one of you!
