BEVERLY HISLOP
1929-2024
We are saddened to hear of the passing of former JLB member and President, Beverly Hislop.
Beverly was one of the founding members of The Junior League of Bakersfield in 1965 and served as our second President in 1966 and 1967. She led or participated in many of our programs, including the construction of the Community House in 1966, serving as Chair of the Camellia Ball fundraiser, orchestrating the Saturday Adventurers' Program, and the Children's Book Fair which was co-sponsored with the Kern County Library.

Please click here to fill out our membership spotlight form! We'll be featuring members on our social media platforms and at our general meetings.
Help spread the word about how amazing JLB is! Please make sure you follow our social media accounts, and like/share/comment on our posts - the more engagement, the bigger audience we reach, which really helps when promoting our events.
Give a shout out to a member who helped you or went out of her way for your committee.
Submissions should also be sent to your Placement Advisor or to Membership VP at membership@jlbakersfield.org (and let them know if you wish to remain anonymous).
The N&P committee will randomly select a few submissions to read during the general meeting, and all submissions, whether they are read at the GM or not will be sent to the person being recognized by their Placement Advisor.
