Junior League of Oklahoma City members were hosts for the Gallery of Hope Art Show in the home of Cory and David LeNorman. The Gallery of Hope is a community project initiated by the JL 2009-10 provisional class. League members collected artwork from Oklahoma City schools and individuals to be scanned on canvas for the halls and patient rooms on the 8th and 9th floors of the Children’s Hospital at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center.
Rejeana Allgood was the project coordinator.
JL President Ann Cameron told the guests about the bond between the hospital and league members. “The Junior League has had a long relationship with Children’s Hospital…since the 1940’s when Mex Frates first appealed to the hospital and convinced them that Junior League women were responsible volunteers who could be counted on, “ she said. “Early on, JLOC volunteers helped at the information desk and later by putting on puppet shows. Today, we continue to provide volunteers who offer literacy- related programs and activities to patients and their families at The Zone at Children’s Hospital.”
Chelsey Cobbs, Erin Byers, Margaret Creighton were at the party.
Cortney Smith and E’Shaina Harned attended the Gallery of Hope Art Show.
