It's high time for the public to see all of the milestones this charitable organization has accomplished over its many decades of service.

The charitable organization has been a part of SWLA since 1933, beginning with 11 members. Today, the Junior League of Lake Charles has expanded to 600 women! Come out and share in the fun, and take a walk down memory lane as the Guess Historic City Hall Arts & Cultural Center showcases the Junior League's extraordinary history with a 'Pop Up' Exhibit.

 “We are excited to spend this time celebrating our 90-year history and all that we have accomplished in the community. This reflection of our past accomplishments ensures that we can map out our future impact and mission in SWLA for many more years to come.”
