Fellow Junior League of Wichita members,
The saying “time flies when you are having fun” sure does apply to this year!
I hope every one of you is having fun and enjoying your placement also.
This time of year is so exciting with the placement process in full swing. It is important that all of us
think about what impact we want to have in the League and our League career path. We are fortunate to
have League members who have devoted a lot of time to developing our career pathing and mentoring
program. The goal of this program is to help our members think through what they want to get out of
their Junior League experience.
AJLI statistics show people join Junior Leagues for many different reasons, but the top three reasons are:
1. To network and meet new people
2. To get valuable training to help them advance in their careers and/or non-profit work
3. To have fun!
As we approach the last three months of this League year, please take a deep breath, set your goals and
finish this year strong. Oftentimes, we can start looking toward our next placement, but the last three
months of our League year are extremely important, and we have a lot left to accomplish. We need
everyone engaged and having fun so we can accomplish all of our strategic goals.
I look forward to seeing you all at our upcoming events, supplemental fundraisers, trainings and the
third annual Kitchen Tours!

#90for90JLWTo celebrate Junior League of Wichita’s 90th
anniversary, members were asked to give 90
minutes of their time, within a 90-hour
timeframe, to organizations that have been
part of the League’s history.
Overall, League members helped 12 different
organizations by working 107 different shifts,
putting in 160.5 hours of time.
The Community Impact Council organized
the 90th anniversary community service blitz
event. Its vision of the celebration evolved
during several brainstorming sessions.
“We had some constraints,” says Community
Impact Council member Laura Roddy.
“Having no funds budgeted, we needed to be
practical within a short timeline.”
The council wanted to incorporate getting
members to donate 90 minutes of time, but
they ran into roadblocks when it came to
logistics.
“If we couldn’t get all of us together in one
location, then we could at least do it virtually,”
says Roddy.
That’s when they decided to incorporate
social media and encouraged members to
share how they were giving their 90 minutes.
By using the hashtag #90for90JLW, League
members were able to see the various ways
their friends were celebrating the League’s
90th anniversary.
Thanks to the members’ dedication and their
active roles on social media, the 90th
anniversary community service blitz event
was “a great success,” according to Roddy.
“League members felt like they were part of
something bigger when they checked in on
Facebook or Instagram and could see their
fellow members out in the community,” she
says. Angela Green

As a way to celebrate Junior League of
Wichita’s 90th Anniversary, the League
hosted a virtual Day of Giving on January 20.
League members were asked to make
donations to the Legacy Endowment in any
denomination that included a nine. The
Legacy Endowment raised $3,706.64 from 44
donations.
“The Day of Giving was not about getting our
members to make large donations, it was
about raising awareness of the Legacy
Endowment,” says Lora Winchell, endow-
ment chair.
In addition to the day for donations, Endow-
ment Committee members visited council,
committee and New Member meetings in
January to educate the general membership
about the Legacy Endowment.
Winchell says contributions to the Legacy
Endowment are an investment in our League.
“The goal is to raise enough money in the
Legacy Endowment so that the investment
earnings will pay for our yearly operating
costs: things like utilities, staff and insur-
ance,” she says.
Current League operating costs are $78,762
per year.
In addition to Day of Giving, the Endowment
Committee is partnering with past presidents
to host parties in their homes with other
sustainers to learn more about the Legacy
Endowment and continuing to invest in
Junior League of Wichita.

The often sterile and cold feeling of hospitals
isn’t welcoming to children. Whether those
children are visiting the hospital for their own
treatment or that of a sibling, Children’s
Mercy Hospital – now with a branch in
Wichita – has changed the children’s hospital
experience, and recently, Junior League of
Wichita was a part of that change.
Charged with helping to create a much-need-
ed distraction from illness and sadness, the
League’s New Member class used its fall
project to create special kits filled with
activities to reduce children’s anxiety and pass
the time while visiting Children’s Mercy.
Each year, the New Member class receives
months of training, presentations, Done In A
Day-type projects and community service
activities – including a fall and spring
volunteer project – to learn more about the
League and understand its mission.
Before assembling the kits in November, the
New Member class worked with the League
and the Wichita community to collect
kid-friendly items to fill the Mighty Kids kits,
including stickers, coloring books and
crayons, hand puppets, snacks and water.
The project was no easy task. Working
diligently, the New Member class collected
items and assembled 336 kits that will help
children feel more comfortable during their
stay, says New Member Michele Ballard,
who served as chair of the marketing
committee for the New Member project.
“In such a short time, we all came together
very quickly,” she says. “We identified the key
people, and we ran with it. It took all of us to
make this project successful.”
And the reward extended beyond providing a
type of therapy for children.
“I learned a lot with this project,” Ballard says
of her expanded League knowledge. “There
are so many ins and outs, bylaws and policies
that, as a New Member, you don’t know about.
This has helped me plan my future in the
League.” Cari Westhoff

A trip to Kansas City for nine Junior League
members resulted in new energy and
enthusiasm to make a difference. The
members attended the Organizational
Development Institute, or ODI, hosted by
The Association of Junior Leagues Interna-
tional, Inc. in October. Representing our
League were Actives Patty Armstrong,
Angela Buzard, Kourtney Carson, Anne
Chandler, Kristi Konda, Martha Linsner,
Vicky Rockhill, Kim Trinchet and Jennifer
Wise.
ODI offers members tools and best practices
for fulfilling the League’s mission. Those who
attended were split into five training tracks to
get in-depth knowledge about various aspects
of the League.
“These learning opportunities enhance the
professional and personal development for
League leaders, which ultimately benefits the
entire League,” says President-Elect Martha
Linsner.
She says understanding how the League’s
mission can be achieved through effective
governance means asking the right questions
and seeking members with high-level skills,
talent and experience.
Active Jennifer Wise participated in the
training track focused on fund development.
She says they discussed how membership
dues are something members can be passion-
ate about providing because they help the
League accomplish its mission. It isn’t an
obligation but a gift that creates change. But
Wise says they learned it’s also key to make
sure League members feel valued.
“Treat League members as donors,” Wise says.
“Everyone in the League is a part of the
impact the League has in the community.”
Aside from the training and motivational
speakers, ODI is also a time to get to know
other League members and make memories.
Linsner says every League member should
consider attending an ODI in the future.
“One of the greatest benefits for our future
leaders who have the opportunity to attend
ODI is networking first-hand with members
from other Leagues — learning about their
experiences and the sharing of fresh ideas,”
she says.
Another group of League members attended
ODI in Grapevine, Texas in February. Rachel
Banning, Paige Gade, Amanda Holder,
and Jessica St. Clair-Stong represented the
League. Traci Addington

Why is that number so high? It often comes
down to education. Many people are afraid to
report abuse, or unsure if they can legally do
it. Also, if they’re not around children, it’s
difficult to be aware of warning signs.
This is where mandated reporters come into
play. In Kansas, state law requires certain
professionals to report abuse to the Kansas
Protection Report Center. The list includes
those who closely interact with children, such
as doctors, teachers, social workers, nurses,
law enforcement officials, psychologists,
firefighters and many more.
Actives Annie Dugan, Hollie Dawson-But-
ler and Samantha Jacob experience our
League’s efforts of “awareness, prevention and
intervention” daily through their work.
Jacob, a social worker at Children’s Mercy
Clinic, serves as the primary reporter at her
worksite. Early in her education, she learned
the importance of that role.
“It’s explained to you that you can lose your
license or worse if you do not report abuse or
neglect,” Jacob says.
Dugan, a reading specialist, says she often
doesn’t think about being a mandated
reporter, but her radar is always up.
“If something doesn’t seem right, I might have
a conversation with the student or talk to
administration about my concerns,” she says.
“The well-being of my students is just part of
my work.”
Dawson-Butler, a school psychologist, says
the responsibility has made her more aware of
warning signs as well as the prevalence of
child abuse in the community.
All three women have made reports in their
careers. Jacob says she’s made more than she’d
like to remember, but each time she’s
reminded of the importance of what she’s
doing.
“Every report is difficult, but ultimately you’re
doing what is best for the child,” Jacob says.
Dawson-Butler often reminds teachers she
works with that it is their job to report abuse.
“I always tell them it’s better to report than
not to report,” Dawson-Butler says. “Better
safe than sorry.”
All three agree that the League’s focus on
child abuse is vitally important.
“I’m very excited to be a part of an organiza-
tion that’s working to educate not only
ourselves, but our community and children
on the impact and signs of child abuse,” says
Dugan. “If one life is saved because a child
was impacted by the League’s work, it will be
well worth it.” Sasha Kuchinski
An estimated 85 percent of child abuse goes unreported, according to the Child Advocacy Center of Sedgwick County.

Pinches & Dashes doesn’t just help you
make delicious recipes, it also helps you
make a difference in the community. This
year’s Cookbook Committee has worked
hard to spread this message in order to
reach a broader base of customers and
increase sales.
“We have spent our efforts this year
helping potential cookbook buyers
understand that by purchasing a
cookbook, they are giving back to the
Junior League and our efforts in the
community,” says Cookbook Chair Laura
Fischer. “It's important for people to
understand that purchasing a cookbook
makes a difference.”
League members can continue making a
difference by helping promote Pinches &
Dashes. Fischer says ‘like’ the page on
Facebook and share the posts. You can also
add the cookbook to your cart on Amazon or
write a review of Pinches & Dashes for
Amazon.
Junior League of Wichita has used
cookbooks as a way to raise money to
support its mission since the 1970s. The
League’s expertise in this area dovetailed
into another fundraising opportunity,
Kitchen Tours.
The third annual Kitchen Tours is Sunday,
May 3. Fischer says the featured kitchens are
fabulous and encourages everyone to buy a
ticket. You can buy them now on your
member homepage. Kim Trinchet

The Treehouse
The Treehouse is one of Junior League of
Wichita’s community partners. It’s a place
where many League members volunteer to
help struggling mothers and their children.
The nonprofit formed in 2002 and has
grown into a place that 2,600 women
depend on each year for basic needs and
education.
The Treehouse offers education programs
and a thrift store to new and expectant
mothers. The programs include lessons in
positive parenting, infant and toddler care,
nutrition and other skills that are helpful for
a new mother. With each hour of learning,
mothers earn a “baby buck” that can be used
at the thrift store for anything they may
need for their baby or toddler. Another
educational program the Treehouse offers is
“Earn While You Learn.” This program
requires mothers to watch educational
movies. After watching the movie and
completing worksheets, “baby bucks” are
earned.
“The videos work,” says one mother. “I
learned the baby had a heartbeat at five
weeks old. It’s a child in there, and I want
to know what I’m doing.”
The Treehouse’s mission to educate and
support mothers ties in well with Junior
League of Wichita’s effort to combat child
abuse through awareness, prevention and
intervention. The probability of child
abuse decreases the more a mother
understands positive parenting and feels
like she has support. The Treehouse, its
staff, and volunteers provide that support
and help make a difference.

12 JUNIOR LEAGUE OF WICHITA
Katie Lynn was a woman whose passion for service was an inspiration to many.
Headquarters Kitchen
Dedicated to Longstanding League Leader
Katie Lynn was a member of Junior League
of Wichita for 29 years. She served as
president in 1994-95, chaired the first Race
for the Cure in 1989-90, was Sustainer
co-chair for Holiday Galleria in 2009 and
chaired the Headquarters renovation in
2010. She also served on both the Nominat-
ing Committee and the Board of Directors
of The Association of Junior Leagues
International, Inc.
After her death in November following a
battle with kidney cancer, League members
searched for a way to honor Lynn’s legacy of
dedicated service.
“She took every opportunity to help others,”
Sustainer Dana Hensley says. “She was so
valuable to the League because she was a
true servant leader.”
Hensley and Lynn were long-time friends.
When their daughters were in preschool,
Hensley and Lynn joined the League
together.
Cynthia Schmucker, president, says Lynn
was an inspiration to her in service to the
League as well as her personal life.
“She made me push myself and made me
really realize what kind of leader I wanted to
be and what kind of legacy I wanted to leave
for myself in the League and in my life in
general,” Schmucker says. “In everything
Katie did she made an impact, and she
improved people’s lives.”
Sustainer Jan Deering, who met Lynn at
project early in her League career, says Lynn
had both a drive and a sense of humor that
were catching.
“Katie had lots of energy, and was very
creative and never reluctant to investigate or
start a new project,” Deering says. “She
seemed so aware of needs in our community
and what to do about them, often before
anyone else was.”
Katie Lynn
others,” Deering says. “Oh, her pies — food
for the gods!”
Lynn’s friends and fellow League members
say they’re happy to see Lynn’s memory
honored in the kitchen.
“Katie was a fun, funny, organized and
caring friend. The operative word being
friend,” Callen says. “We all loved her dearly
and are so glad she will be remembered at
League Headquarters for many, many years
to come.” Katelynn Powell
13SPRING 2015 • PROPELLER
Outside of her League work, Lynn was
involved with numerous community
organizations. Those close to Lynn say she
was also an impressive cook and hostess.
Her meals and baked goods were frequent
items at charitable auctions. Sustainer Kelly
Callen says Lynn was famous for her Greek
food and for her toffee, which were often in
high demand.
Hensley says she fondly
remembers a cookbook for their
daughters’ preschool that Lynn
helped organize and sell and
contributed many recipes to. “I
still have that 30-year-old tattered,
stained book and cherish every
one of her recipes,” Hensley says.
In November, the League named the kitchen
at Headquarters in Lynn’s honor and
installed a plaque recognizing the Katie
Lynn Kitchen.
“It just made sense, with Katie’s commit-
ment to the Headquarters renovation and
her love of cooking, that we name the
kitchen in Katie’s honor,” Schmucker says.
Other League members agreed.
“The kitchen is a fitting place to honor
Katie’s memory because she was a fabulous
cook and loved to share that talent with
Sustainers Katie Lynn, Sue Crockett, Terry Burnett and Peggy Johnson.

“She took every opportunity to help others.”
More than 40 women gathered on a
Saturday morning in February to explore
diversity and have some tough conversa-
tions.
President Cynthia Schmucker challenged
League members to venture outside of their
comfort zone to tackle the issue of diversity,
even if it meant not always being politically
correct. She said an open and honest
dialogue is needed to help the League
achieve its mission.
The Diversity & Inclusion Committee
invited expert facilitator Juan Johnson to
help the group understand the meaning of
diversity. He says diversity is more than
race, gender or visual traits in a person. It
also includes things like family background,
where someone grew up or other life
experiences.
“If you don’t have different ways of thinking,
perspectives, experiences and capabilities,
then your organization misses the opportu-
nity to leverage performance at a higher
level and achieve greater community
impact,” Johnson told the group.
He helped League members look at what he
calls blind spots. Johnson says diversity
blind spots are the inability or unwillingness
to see or consider others’ points of view
when we make decisions. To become more
self-aware means reflecting on the natural
tendency that we all have to make decisions
based on our life experiences and what we
have been taught, or our particular point of
view.
However, Johnson says once you accept your
blind spots, it’s essential to not just have
different perspectives at the table, but to
also be confident and assertive enough to
share your thoughts despite what others
may think
Diversity & Inclusion Chair Prisca Barnes
says the committee plans to build on what
Johnson brought to the group. She says to
watch for a Diversity & Inclusion calendar of
events in the near future, including a book
club, community events and Diversity Dine
Outs to explore new cultures and cuisines.
