A s the holiday season approaches, certain movies
come to mind: It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas
Carol, Elf, and A Christmas Story. Each of these
movies has the main character finding himself in
message from the
a difficult circumstance and he is sure the world
would have been a better place had he never
been there. The characters soon come to learn
how many lives they have impacted in many
ways, both big and small.
So as I dash from work to another Junior League meeting, thinking
about my growing to-do list and hoping I can get everything done, I must
admit I quickly lose sight of the importance of being a JLB member. More
importantly I do not realize that my problems, in hindsight, are nothing
compared to what others face in our community.
As a member, through Junior League of Beaumont's "Done in a Day"
project, I have had the opportunity to pack sack lunches at Some Other
Place for those less fortunate, so they can have some food over the week-
end. I see the benefit of educating children about making healthy eating
choices with our "Kids in the Kitchen" project as well. I reflect on that smile
from teenagers trying on prom dresses at "Simply Cinderella" and teens
from "Transitioning Youth with CASA” riding in a Corvette to prom. I then
think about the young children building with Legos through our "Beau-
mont Children's Museum” program. Though my to-do list seems endless, I
feel so blessed for not having felt what it was like to not have anything to
eat over the weekend or wear to a special event or learn something new.
I can only imagine how difficult it must be for that child. It’s just one of the
many reasons why I feel so driven to help our community.
When I think about those movies, it's not hard to see the correlation. I
see how each one of us, by giving of ourselves impact others, as well as
the Junior League. The Junior League of Beaumont’s community projects
give them something they would not accomplish without assistance. It
gives them a magical memory and better decision-making skills. Even if
it's just a gift of food or time, I'm honored and humbled to be able to do
that for them.
Training women leaders and providing volunteer time at other organi-
zations through “Done in a Day” are just a small percentage of the proj-
ects the Junior League of Beaumont provides to this community. One of
the greatest qualities of the Junior League is that it provides the vehicle
to have that effect throughout the year. Without the hard work and dedi-
cation of every member of the JLB and the Main Street Market commit-
tee, the League wouldn't have the money to provide these community
assistance funds. So in the craziness of responding to that last impor-
tant email, that phone call message, or that letter, it's easy to forget the
tremendous impact each one of us makes. Not just for our community
today, but also for the future of our community. Think of the impact each
and every one of those dollars can make.
All around this nation volunteerism is declining. However, it's my hope
that the JLB continues to grow, devote more hours, and recognize the
benefit of helping others.
I often hear people complain about their problems. It reminds me of
when my husband grabs a shopping cart in the back of the parking lot at
any store and begins to push it to the entrance. I ask, "What are you do-
ing with that cart"? He states while grinning, "Do you want to be part of
the problem or part of the solution"? We often pull into a store and com-
plain about the cluttered parking lot, but how many try to fix it? Could
you do more to help out in this community? Simply ask, "What's my first
step"? No matter how small, we can all “Make a Difference One at a
Time”. What would this community look like without a Junior League of
Beaumont? I personally hope we NEVER find out.
So this holiday season, help us do more for our community by sup-
porting our Main Street Market, Dec. 5-7, 2013 at Beaumont Civic
Center. Talk about the things we are doing for those around us, and be
proud of all that we've accomplished.
“God bless us, every one!”

Here are some ways our fellow Junior League members will be
managing Holiday
spending the holiday and ways they will cope with holiday stress:
Dawn Katz (provisional):
What are your plans for the holiday?
I will be going home to Chicago for the holidays to be with my family.
How do you handle holiday stress?
I’m lucky because I work for LIT and I’m off for the holidays. In
some ways it makes the holiday season less stressful and more
like a vacation. To cope with the stress that does come my way
during this season I make list. I’m a BIG list person... it keeps me
calm and distressed.
Cyndi Edwards (Meeting Arrangement Co-Chair):
What are your plans for the holiday?
I’m planning to go to New Orleans with my family. It is our tradition
every Christmas. We ride the Amtrak train there and back.

I go home to friends and family in Oklahoma and Georgia. On
December 14th, my dog rescue friends and I have a “blow-out”
party that is always fun.
How do you handle holiday stress?
I exercise for stress management.
Monica Boucher (Meeting Arrangement Chair):
What are your plans for the holiday?
We try to spend as much time with family as possible having gath-
erings. We usually go on a vacation together instead of doing pres-
ents. Then on Christmas day, we always like to going to the movies.
How do you handle holiday stress?
I try to keep things simple and take it easy. I try to decorate with
simple plants that are beautiful like the Poinsettia, and I keep a
scheme of only one or two colors. The gift part can be stressful
so I shop for gifts year-round and make delicious, edible gifts for
friends and family.
Jenny Theriot (CASA):
What are your plans for the holiday?
For Christmas, we will be traveling to see all of our extended fami-
lies in Louisiana. It is a lot of fun but can be exhausting with all of
the driving and eating!
How do you handle holiday stress?
I handle stress by shopping and preparing ahead of time and re-
laxing when possible – as well as drinking wine!december 2013 11
We cannot stop the holidays from coming nor prevent all of the stress that comes along with the season. While
each of us will have our own unique plans for the holidays and we all will experience stress differently, here are
some additional tips from About.com that may assist you with the stress you may experience this year:
Acknowledge your feelings. Take a breather.

standing if others get upset or distressed when something goes
awry. Chances are they are feeling the effects of holiday stress
and depression, too.
Stick to a budget.
Before you go gift and food shopping, decide how much money
you can afford to spend. Then stick to your budget. Do not try to
buy happiness with an avalanche of gifts. Try these alternatives:
Donate to a charity in someone's name, give homemade gifts or
start a family gift exchange.
*See November Spinnings for tips.
Plan ahead.
Set aside specific days for shopping, baking, visiting friends and
other activities. Plan your menus and then make your shopping
list. That will help prevent last minute scrambling to buy forgotten
ingredients. Make sure to line up help for party prep and cleanup.
Learn to say no.
Saying yes when you should say no can leave you feeling resentful
and overwhelmed. Friends and colleagues will understand if you
cannot participate in every project or activity. If it is not possible to
say no when your boss asks you to work overtime, try to remove
something else from your agenda to make up for the lost time.
Do not abandon healthy habits.
Do not let the holidays become a free-for-all. Overindulgence only
adds to your stress and guilt. Have a healthy snack before holiday
parties so that you do not go overboard on sweets, cheese or
drinks. Continue to get plenty of sleep and physical activity.12 december 2013
Bright Smiles, Bright Futures:
The Junior League partners with Colgate-Palmolive
to provide free dental care to kids in need
Reflecting a decades-long commitment to children’s health
and welfare, The Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc.
is launching a partnership with Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Fu-
tures® to connect the program, one of the most successful chil-
dren's oral health initiatives in the world, with 293 independent
Junior Leagues in four countries.
BSBF provides free dental screenings, oral health education and
treatment referrals to children ages 1-12 through its fleet of mo-
bile dental vans. These vans travel to underserved rural and urban
communities, reaching over 1,000 towns and more than 10 million
children each year.
Susan Danish, AJLI’s Executive Director, said, “We look forward to
working with Colgate to educate children far and wide about the
importance of oral health. Because of its commitment to oral health
for at-risk children and their families, Colgate is a great partner for
our Leagues, which are committed to creating lasting community
impact on important issues just like this. So Colgate will provide the
vans, and our Leagues will provide the community connections!”
“One of the keys to our success has been the community part-
nerships that we have formed with dynamic, dedicated service or-
ganizations like the Junior Leagues,” said Dawna Michelle Fields,
National Program Manager, Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures.
“For many families, finding access to affordable dental care and oral
health information continues to be a challenge. Partnering with the
Junior Leagues will enhance our efforts to reach children in need.”
Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® is among the most far-
reaching, successful children's oral health initiatives in the world.
Through long-standing partnerships with governments, schools
and communities, Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® has
reached more than 650 million children and their families across
80 countries with free dental screenings and oral health education.december 2013 13

Christmas
Crafts
for Kids
The holidays are upon us. We all want to enjoy this time
with our children. However, we often find ourselves so
busy shopping for gifts and making holiday treats that we
do not slow down to enjoy some of the smaller things.
This year, why not put the little elves to work? You can do
the following activities with your children and check some
things off your list at the same time. Use these items as
teacher gifts and class treats, or just make them together
for fun. Either way, you’ll enjoy some time with your little
ones this Christmas season.

Instructions:
For each snowman, fill one jar with hot choco-
late powder, one with peppermints, and one
with marshmallows. Place lids on the jars. Cut
a circle out of the black fabric large enough
to go on top of the marshmallow jar as a hat.
Place over the jar and secure with a rubber
band. Place sticky velcro on top of the pep-
permint jar, bottom of the hot chocolate jar,
top of the hot chocolate jar, and bottom of
the marshmallow jar. Stack the jars in that
order. Decorate the body and face of the
snowman using the black paint pen for the
dots and the orange one to make a nose.
Cut a long thin piece of the gingham fabric
to use as a scarf. Tie the scarf around the
snowman’s “neck,” and cut fringe at the
ends of the fabric to finish it off.16 december 2013

Sally Bundy became a member of the Junior League in 1964 in
Cleveland, Ohio. After many years of service there she transferred
to the Junior League of New Orleans and in 1970 she transferred
to Beaumont where she remained a great volunteer and support-
er for the rest of her life. While a member of the JLB, Sally worked
business on the Texas Tennis Tournament of the Stars, the Horse Show, the
Environmental Concern Committee, Lagniappe and the Beaumont
owner Art Museum (known today as AMSET). She also served in many
leadership roles. Throughout the 1970s Mrs. Bundy was Commu-
of the month nity Research Chairman, Education Chairman, Nominating Chair-
man, and was a member of the Ways and Means committee and
Advisory committee.
JLB Recognizes Sally Bundy as After becoming a sustainer in 1977, Sally continued her service
Small Business Owner of the Month both inside and outside of the Junior League. Sally was Sustainer
of the Year in 2009 for her continued involvement within the JLB
and her service in the community. She was active in her sorority
Pi Beta Phi, Neches River Festival, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church,
and the Beaumont Art Museum.
During all these years of service, Sally was also building her ca-
reer as a realtor. In 1988 Sally, along with 5 other women, founded
Remax Beaumont. Sally received many awards for her work as a
real estate agent; the Beaumont Board of Realtor's Salesman of
the Year award in 1982, the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000,
the Capital Club award for 2002 and also the Platinum Award for
the years 2003, 2004, 2005, & 2006. Sally was inducted into the
coveted RE/MAX Hall of Fame in 1994.
Sally was totally focused on her life and extremely committed
to the things that were important to her. She was able to balance
family and friends, her work, her volunteering, and her favorite
hobby, golf, because they were all important to her. She had so
many friends in Beaumont and was well known throughout our
community. She had a wonderful life and we are thankful for her
presence in our organization.
Thank you for your years
of service to the League...
