The New York Junior League is a women's organization dedicated to community service. Founded in 1901, the New York chapter of the Junior League is the original chapter of the Junior League. Today some 3,000 NYJL volunteers devote their time to causes ranging from domestic violence prevention to health education to cultural enrichment. Several of the NYJL's committees serve the Upper East Side Community: assisting the New York Center for Children with abuse case tracking, providing instruction on infant care and child safety at The Grace House, and volunteering at the Stanley M. Isaacs Center. In order to fund its community-changing efforts, the NYJL hosts a number of fantastic fundraisers that are open to the public.
On Friday, October 15, the Junior League rolled out the red carpet for attendees at its Hollywood-style homecoming, "A Night with the Stars." The halls of the stately East 80th Street townhome the New York Junior League calls its headquarters were adorned with stars, balloons, and of course, a red carpet. Three floors of the headquarters offered different spaces to socialize and relax, each with different drinks- from a rum room to a wine room to a vodka room- and accompanying hors d'oeuvres A DJ kept the dance floor of the ballroom moving. After the main event, guests continued the festivities on the UES with an afterparty at Stir on First Avenue at 73rd Street. The evening's proceeds benefited the charitable activities of New York Junior League. As always with the Junior League, the event was well-attended and offered attendees the opportunity to socialize with a purpose.
