Here is a quick glance back at some of the eventful moments that took place during our 2024. Some of our featured personal stories on Instagram with more to come in 2025 … ! @junketnyc
Brooklyn Botanical Garden, outings throughout the year. Family picnic night in the Spring, summer brunch with Mama & Papa Hupalo to Lightscape in December (sorry it was so cold that night for pictures!)
Brunch, A monthly brunch for those busy during the week, where we can connect and catch up. Each get-together will always feature a different cuisine in order to travel the world.
Our New board members who are kindly assisting us on this new journey. Thankful for the support and excited for the years ahead! We will announce the Junior Advisory Board in a few weeks!
Our New volunteers who are absolutely a pleasure to have on our team. We are always looking for more volunteers so please reach out of you are throwing around the possibility in your head!
Giving Back! We played Santa through a great organization that lets volunteers buy gifts from wish lists and deliver wrapped presents to parents, so they can surprise their kids on Christmas morning.
Office Meetings, and sometimes we improvise on the balcony.
Trevor Noah’s book launch, “Into the Uncut Grass”, at Kings Theatre, Brooklyn reminding us to be the fierce individuals we are meant to be and always stay determined. Zamari was the youngest audience member and celebrated by all as the best audience member. He LOVES the book!
Thank you, 2024! It has given us challenges, gracious moments that allowed us to take a pause while encouraging us to grow and mature. Each experience has shaped us, and we are grateful for all of them.
As we begin 2025, we feel ready to tackle the wins and challenges that come our way, moving forward one purposeful step at a time.
Thank you for the support as we step into the new year with buckets of hope!
Warmly,
the Junket Family
