What a busy week it has been for our members! We kicked off the 2026 -2027 league year with our September General Member Meeting! Kris Arizmendi Choinacky, Executive Director of the South Bend Education Alliance, spoke to our members and shared more information about the impact SBEA strives to make in educators and overall experiences to ensure that all South Bend Community School students thrive. In preparation for Find the Good Day on Sept. 17, our League collected 600 yummy treats for our South Bend Community School high school educators! A special member spotlight on Maryori Wesson and Kelly Herriman for all their hard work on Community Council! Of course, we closed out the first GMM with our VPs sharing a few laughs and highlights of their time at the AJLI EDGE conference last month.

Our League ladies had so much fun representing JLSB at the Morris Performing Arts Center’s Murder Mystery fundraiser last night!

We’re so lucky to be able to support and sponsor our community’s arts and enrichment efforts to build a better South Bend. Thank you to the Morris for a wonderful evening!

Now THAT’S how you !

Thanks to everyone who raised a glass with us during our June partnership with South Bend Brew Werks, $1,751 was raised to support the Junior League of South Bend and our work in the community!

What started with dimes donated for pints poured grew into something much bigger thanks to our incredible sponsors, Roundtable Consulting, Penrose Physical Therapy, and an anonymous donor.

We’re so grateful to South Bend Brew Werks for giving local organizations a creative way to connect with the community, and to our sponsors and every single person who stopped in, ordered a pint, joined us for an event, or helped spread the word.

Good beer. Amazing community. Great impact.

Last week our League members were hard at work supporting this year's signature project, South Bend Education Alliance . With South Bend schools starting again soon, members helped SBEA pack & distribute 500 free back-to-school supply kits for South Bend Community School Corporation educators! Shoutout to all our volunteers who were able to make this possible.

We recognize that educators provide so much for our students and we want to thank them by helping start off the school year strong with free supplies. Wishing all educators the best of luck for the 2026 - 2027 school year!

Junior League of South Bend, Inc. is taking over a little corner of South Bend Brew Werks tonight from 6–8 PM, and there are approximately 67 good reasons to stop by.

We’re collecting preschool books for our upcoming community project with South Bend Education Alliance, celebrating our June partnership, supporting The CASIE Center (August’s partner!), and - most importantly - welcoming anyone who’s ever been curious about Junior League.

If you've wondered what League is actually like, what we do, or whether it might be your kind of thing, come have a drink with us. No commitment, no awkward sales pitch. Just meet some people, ask questions, and see what we're about.

See you tonight!
