The Done In A Day
(DIAD) committee offers League members and their families an opportunity to
work together on special events for community agencies that might not
otherwise be served by the Junior League through one time, one-day events
designed for the agency or to benefit the agency in some manner. Agencies would need to serve women and/or
children or have education and/or health & wellness missions.
|
|
|
The project gives
assistance and visibility to community not for profit agencies. The committee responds to special requests
both to and from the Junior League of Omaha (JLO) and may be called upon to
respond to area emergencies.
