The Junior League of McAllen, Inc.

SUSTAINERS

     The 300 Sustaining Members of the Junior League of McAllen play a vital role in the fulfillment of the organization's Vision Statement.  Through financial support and countless hours of volunteerism, Sustaining Members insure that community projects and cultural events exceed expectations.  The building of RioScape at the International Museum of Arts & Science would not have been possible without the overwhelming contributions of time and effort by this dedicated group of remarkable women.  

     In September, these ladies bake for the hospitality room at the Children's Arts & Literacy Festival.  Each December, Dias Festivos is a success because Sustaining Members shop at the Marketplace and support the Preview Party - through their attendance and their active participation in the auctions.  Sustaining Members also continue to support the Junior League of McAllen with annual sponsorships and by serving in advisory positions on the Board of Directors. 

     Sustaining Members have given anywhere from five to fifty years of service to the Junior League of McAllen.  Grateful for the education and training received from the league, these ladies put their skills to use by volunteering as dedicated members of churches, the synagogue, and organizations such as Palmer Drug Abuse Program, the Boy Scouts, the Museum of South Texas History, the International Museum of Art & Science, the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, and the McAllen Economic Development Corporation.  Each year, a number of the Sustaining Members are honored with a Lifetime Volunteer Achievement Award.
