Our History
A story of determination, service, leadership, and a commitment to enriching the lives of children across the northeastern suburbs of Dallas.
The Northeast Dallas Provisional Chapter was born of pure determination. The journey began in 2009 with one mother, Danielle Wesley, whose goal was to continue to enrich the lives of children in the northeastern suburbs of Dallas, Texas.
An invitational and awareness campaign were launched, informing other mothers of how Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated could serve as a cultural bridge to expose the northeastern suburban children to opportunities and experiences in preparation for today’s global society.
Mothers represented Murphy, Wylie, Sachse, Garland, Plano, Rowlett, Rockwall, and parts of Allen, Texas. An interest group was formed because they saw the opportunity to develop a systematic approach to service and leadership excellence for their own children and wanted to reach and reproduce in our own backyards.
After meeting requirements of a year-long program and periodic evaluations, the Northeast Dallas Provisional Group was approved to proceed to the 2012 National Convention to receive a formal vote from the National body of mothers of Jack and Jill.
Continuing the legacy of Jack and Jill.
From provisional chapter to a thriving community of mothers and children, the Northeast Dallas Chapter continues to build on a legacy of service, scholarship, and leadership.
The journey began with Danielle Wesley and a vision to enrich the lives of children in Northeast Dallas communities.
The chapter received a unanimous vote and was installed as the 227th Chapter of Jack and Jill and the 29th Chapter of the South Central Region.
The chapter celebrated its 10th anniversary with more than 350 guests at A Night of Elegance gala.
Now in its 12th year, the chapter has grown to 114 children and 80 mothers.
Service, scholarship, and community impact.
We have invested in our community by building a Reading Corner to teach financial literacy to children in underserved areas in Garland, and we have provided more than $100,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors representing school districts across our chapter’s boundaries.
