| Abstract: |
The Lebanese Syrian American Junior League was founded in 1929 through the Young Women's Christian Association in Cleveland,
Ohio, as a social and charitable organization. The League has provided scholarships for students of Syrian or Lebanese descent
since the 1970's. Additionally, the League donates to Cleveland welfare organizations and overseas children's institutions.
Debutante balls, a Mother's Day banquet, and other annual events provide opportunities for members to celebrate cultural unity
and pride. The collection consists of newspaper clippings, newsletters, correspondence, financial reports, meeting minutes,
event programs, and scrapbooks.
