MEMBERSHIP SPOTLIGHT: LEORI BOLIVAR

Why Did You Join the Junior League (JL)?

I joined the Junior League because I wanted to become a part of my community. I was new to the area and I felt that the League aligned with my beliefs in giving back to the community. I recently transferred into the Junior League of Clearwater-Dunedin from the Tallahassee League.

What Is Your Favorite JL Memory?
My favorite Junior League memory was last year while I was on the “Operation Prom Dress” committee. We were able to distribute dresses to over 100 young ladies within the Tallahassee community. The best part of that was that we were also able to help about 15 young ladies for the Night of 1,000 Stars and allowed them to come in and get a full experience of being styled by the Leaguers to find the perfect dress. Watching these ladies as they walked down the runway in their dresses renewed my reasoning for wanting to join. I am very proud to be a part of the League and even more proud to be a part of the Clearwater-Dunedin League.

What Do You Do Outside of JL?:
Work. I am a District Leader in the Tampa Bay Area, so when I’m not volunteering, I’m working. Outside of that I spend time with my amazing husband and 2 dogs.
