About the Junior League of Lubbock
The Junior League of Lubbock was organized September 8, 1935, as the Junior Welfare League of Lubbock. Its purpose was "to foster interest among its members in the social, economic, educational, cultural, and civic conditions of the community and to make efficient use of their volunteer service." Early volunteer efforts were concentrated on the Mrs. W. T. Milam’s Home for Orphans. In 1939, the JWL initiated its first project, the Well Baby Clinic, which provided medical care for underprivileged children. During World War II, JWL members were permitted to count hours "doing worthwhile war work," in addition to volunteer hours at the Well Baby Clinic and Red Cross to meet required volunteer hours. On March 15, 1954, the JWL officially became the 183rd member of the Association of Junior Leagues.
Early fundraisers for the League included a tea room, style shows, bridge tournaments, annual charity balls, milk fund dances, rummage sales, speakers, and a play. Follies were held intermittently until 1976.
In the fall of 1979, the first Holiday Happening was held. The Repeat Boutique, first opened in 1985, is currently located at 3403 -34th St in Lubbock.
