We have a challenge out to our community for the summer! We're asking everyone to collectively reach a goal of 3 million minutes read from June 1 to July 31. We're excited and know that they can do it. If we get 5,000 people to each read 10 minutes a day (10 hours total) then we'll reach our goal. If we can get 6,000 people to read that many minutes (600 total), then we'll crush our goal with 3,600,000 minutes! Take the Imagine Summer Reading Challenge.

Challenge your friends! See who can read more minutes. Group and organizations can get involved as well. We want to hear who reads the most minutes. Light reading helps us to travel without leaving home, fosters our imagination, and helps us retain reading skills. It gives us something to do as a community.

The market scheduled for Saturday, June 6 is canceled. We have not received approval from the Fire Marshal to open given size of facility and attendance. We will update the status of the August 1 market if and when we receive approval to open.

Seafood is a big part of our way of life, so I'm asking you to buy Louisiana Seafood. Whether it is at a restaurant, in the grocery store, or through direct purchase websites like louisianadirectseafood.com, the Louisiana seafood industry needs our support so we can stay Louisiana Strong.

Junior League of Lafayette’s Collaborative Opportunity Grant Application is now accepting grant applications. The Collaborative Opportunity Grant enables Junior League of Lafayette to offer local nonprofit organizations funding for short-term projects. In addition to monetary funding, Junior League of Lafayette volunteers are provided to assist in the planning, execution and completion of the selected project.

In the 2019-2020 League year, Junior League of Lafayette’s Collaborative Opportunity Grants Committee awarded $17,000 in grants and hundreds of volunteer hours to 13 local nonprofit organizations.

These annual grants are funded through Junior League of Lafayette fundraising activities such as Tinsel & Treasures, Kitchen Tour and sales of the League’s four member-written cookbooks. Junior League of Lafayette President, Angelle Adams, expresses the importance of these grants, “By awarding the Collaborative Opportunity Grants, Junior League of Lafayette is able to expand upon the impact that these nonprofit agencies make in the community. Our collective efforts combined are so valuable in improving the lives of women and children in Acadiana.”

This year’s deadline for grant applications is 12 p.m. on Wednesday, July 15, 2020. All grant applications are to be submitted electronically to grants@juniorleagueoflafayette.com AND a printed copy must arrive via postal carrier or be hand-delivered to Junior League of Lafayette Headquarters, located at 504 Richland Avenue, by the deadline. Any application that is received after the deadline will not be considered.

For more information, visit https://www.juniorleagueoflafayette.com/collaborative-opportunity-grants/grant-application/. Please direct all questions to Adrianne Reed, 2020-2021 Collaborative Opportunity Grants Chair, by email at grants@juniorleagueoflafayette.com.
