Community Projects   The Junior League of Douglas County is currently involved with many community projects.  For many years the focus of JLDC was the children in the Douglas County Community.  It was only a couple of years ago that we decided to add Senior Adults to our focus.  Members of JLDC have had the privilege of going to the Douglas County Senior Citizens Center to decorate for holiday seasons, have holiday parties and spend time with Seniors making arts and crafts.  What a joy this has been! The children of Douglas County remain the other focus of the Junior League of Douglas County.  Listed below are  the current Placements available to members of the Junior League of Douglas County.      Members can volunteer to coordinate these placements or they can just show up on the day of the project and give as much time as they can.  This year, the placements for the Junior League of Douglas County are: 1.     Book Brigade Coordination - This placement of 3 to 4 people will coordinate the distribution of a free book to Douglas County 3rd Graders.
