❗️Fun Fact! Did you know that the Junior League of Pasadena was involved in the 1984 Olympics?⁠
JLP formed a Visitor Relations Committee to help out with the Olympics which was held in Los Angeles that year. The committee was chaired by Barbara Smith and members included Nancy Cole, Susan Lambert, Mary Anne Borovicka, Catherine Elliis, Patricia Ellison, Jane Huntoon, Pat Moreland and Petite Morrison. JLP sponsored a free seminar to help the public deal with the influx of guests from all over the world 🌍️. Petite Morrison even pitched a tent in her backyard to accommodate international guests! JLP also sponsored the Breakfast with Champions event with over 400 people in attendance to discuss plans for the Olympics. In addition, the committee worked with a few local groups in welcoming each troupe at the airport. 🎉🏅🌟
