The Junior League of Boca Raton (JLBR) celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the Vegso Community Resource Center (VCRC) at the Countess DeHoernle Building on February 13. The Center, which serves as the organization’s headquarters, is a resource for community non-profits to hold meetings.
The VCRC also houses the Newman/Craske Family Foundation Center grant resource library and is a venue for non-profit training sessions hosted by the Junior League. The VCRC serves as a resource for a number of organizations, including Impact 100, Diaper Bank Covering South Florida and Nonprofits First.
“We were delighted to celebrate this milestone,” said Nikki Stelzer, President of the Junior League of Boca Raton. “The building has been such an incredible asset over the years to both the League and other non-profits in the community.
Anne and Peter Vegso were honored at the event for having named the building. Pattie Damron was recognized for chairing Funding the Future, a capital campaign for the VCRC.
Event co-chairs were Nicole Mugavero and Lisa Warren.
Many members of the Junior League and the community at large have contributed over the years to the building’s maintenance through the Junior League of Boca Raton Endowment.
“Maintaining this community resource over the years has been our mission,” said Lisa Bariso, Endowment Board President. “We were so delighted to celebrate 20 years of making a difference in the community.”
