To celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Junior League of Greater Princeton, a committee of current and sustaining members of the League chose two special ongoing community projects to initiate in our 90th year and continue into the future.

Capital Health Partnership, Capital Health, Hopewell, NJ
In the new hospital, there is a pediatric wing with a dedicated room for children’s books and activities.  The JLGP was thrilled to be invited to decorate this area for the holidays, as well as provide books, toys, and games for the library/activity room along with patient rooms.

On December 3, 2011, members of the League held a General Membership Meeting at the Hospital, decorated in the pediatric wing, and brought crafts and books to share with the children there. We look forward to bringing small groups of volunteers into the hospital next year to continue visiting and entertaining the children there.

The Children’s Initiative continues to organize volunteers to return to the hospital on the first Saturday in December to decorate and offer crafts and books for the patients. We hope to continue this partnership into our 100th year!

Our thanks to the JLGP 90th Anniversary Committee, Arline Stephan, Executive Director of the Capital Health Foundation, Jessie Bessler, Director of Development and Heather A. Keller, Nurse Manager Pediatric Services, for making this wonderful opportunity possible!
