About Me
- PJSL
- The League relies solely on the support and generosity of local citizens and businesses to fund these projects. The league hosts two annual fundraisers, The Nutcracker Tea, which takes place during the holiday season; and their annual fundraising Gala. The Palestine Junior Service League allocates a generous portion of its annual funds to many local charities and organizations in Anderson County. As the league grew it begin to organize community based projects of its own, which to date include: Reagan Park Project: For the past 6 years the League has partnered with the City of Palestine to improve Reagan Park. With the help and generosity of the community we have completed the first two phases of our long term plan. Back to School Fair: League members pass out backpacks, filled with school supplies, to qualifying students in Anderson County. Arts: The Palestine Junior Service League hosts an annual theater production for schools in Anderson County, in an effort to promote the arts. Spread the Warmth: The Palestine Junior Service League communicates with area school teachers and counselors to target children in need to provide them with a new or gently used coat.

EXPRESS CHILDREN'S THEATRE'S "DREAM OF DOORS"- THIS FRIDAY 28TH
The Palestine Junior Service League is excited to present Express Children’s Theatre’s “Dream of Doors.” We will host 2 showings of the show at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on Friday, February 28, 2014. At the Palestine Civic Center. This musical, written by Thomas Meloncon, is a Black History Month production which focuses on the struggle of some of the most iconic figures from the Civil Rights era who are engaged in opening doors of opportunity for everyone. Doors on stage symbolize equality, justice, education, and jobs. The story is the journey to open each door, which will test their endurance and self-determination. Grades K-6 are encouraged to attend.
The Palestine Junior Service League is happy to provide these performances, free of charge, through funds raised throughout the year by members of the league. We are excited to volunteer our time and energy to bring this play to our area. We look forward to communicating with you to provide your students outstanding examples of theatrical arts.
Open seating is available to the public at the 11:00am showing
Limited seating available for the 9:00am showing
Please contact if you have a large group planning to attend so we can reserve seating for you
