The Junior Leaguers of Dallas are hunkering down to do a double celebration next year. Not only will they be hitting the 95-year mark for their organization, but they’ll be holding the 55th Junior League gala. That latter one has come a long way from the days when it was called the Junior League Follies and the membership would do all types of skits and such.
Chairing the 55th anniversary gala will be Isabell Novakov, whose mom Lydia Novakov was JLD president a decade or two ago, as well as ball chair.
While Isabell isn’t sharing details about the fundraiser until June, she did report that it would take place at the Hilton Anatole on Saturday, March 4.
This is gonna be a big, old hoopla to celebrate the Dallas JLD that has 5,000 members and provides (wo)manpower and money for area nonprofits. And just look around. You’ll see loads of Dallas leadership positions being filled by “grads” of the JLD.
Don’t bother going to the website to get tickets, because it’s not up yet. Stay tuned.
