Happy Halloween from the Junior League of Kingston! 🎃 Yesterday we hosted a trunk or treat for families who can’t easily get across town to trick-or-treat. Candy, balloons, and co****le and ring toss games the kids loved. Thank you to every member who showed up.

✨ “Having my home featured on the Holly Berry Trail made the holidays even brighter for me.”

We love hearing from homeowners who have been part of this special holiday tradition! ❤️

We’re still seeking a couple of homes in or around Kingston for this year’s Holly Berry Trail. If you love decorating for the holidays and would like to learn what participating involves, please send us a DM or email [email protected] for more information. 🏡🎄

Boo at the Zoo 2026 🎃

Our Junior League of Kingston tent was the place to be for the littlest goblins this year. Bowling, bobbing for apples, sensory bins and plenty of costume spotting kept the early crowd busy before the big kids settled in for the movie in the park.

We’re proud to help put on this event every year with the Friends of Forsyth Nature Center and Kingston Parks and Recreation. Completely free and open to the whole community, which is exactly what Halloween in Kingston should feel like.

Thank you to every family who came out, and to our members who built, staffed and cleaned up the tent. See you next year! 👻

Our 2026–2027 One-Ask letter just went out to the local businesses who supported us last year. 💌

One donation funds our whole year of work across Ulster County: the Turkey Trot, the Holly Berry Trail, the Annual Egg Hunt, the Play It Forward Fund, our two scholarships, and our Spring 2027 Community Project, an accessible outdoor space for kids experiencing housing insecurity.

Didn’t receive a letter? You can still be part of it. Gifts of any size make a difference.

👉 Donate at the link in our bio or stories.

Thank you for helping us build a better Kingston. ❤️

Scarecrow Day at Forsyth Park was the best kind of fall Saturday in Kingston. Our scarecrow was inspired by women doing it all, because that’s who fills our membership: the moms, founders, volunteers and neighbors who keep showing up for this community.

We loved spending the day alongside so many great local organizations and talking with everyone who stopped by our table about what the Junior League of Kingston does. We’re women building better communities, with a focus on causes that support women and children right here in Ulster County.

A few ways to find us this season:
🎃 Boo at the Zoo at Forsyth this Friday, where we’re helping out
🦃 The Turkey Trot
🎄 Holly Berry

Come say hi, and if you’ve been curious about joining, our DMs are open.

Hello, Kingston! I’m Sharon Pickett, and I’m honored to be serving on the Membership Nominating Committee for the Junior League of Kingston this year. By day, I’m an advanced practice nurse working on AI solutions to help address the growing shortage of nurses and primary care providers. At home in Rosendale, I’m kept busy (and grounded) by my husband Michael, our sons Christopher and Rian, and our dog Ozzie.

I’ve been a JLK member for over six years, having previously served as Treasurer and President, and I’m proud to continue serving as our League’s Membership Nominating Chair. Being part of this committee means I get to help welcome the next wave of women who will shape this organization’s future. It’s been one of the most meaningful parts of my life — the friendships, the impact, the shared purpose. I’m passionate about helping women in our community build the confidence and leadership skills to grow both personally and professionally. Grateful every day to be part of an organization that means so much to me.

No Kingston kid should sit out a season because of cost.

Ms. Polacco’s Play It Forward Fund was created in memory of our Past-President and friend, Maryelizabeth Polacco, who showed up for her students in the classroom and on every field and court where they played.

The fund helps Kingston City School District students in grades 5 to 12 with athletic equipment, registration, camp fees and other costs of playing.

Winter sports sign-ups are coming up. If you know a student who could use support, email [email protected].

To donate, visit kingston.jl.org. Every gift keeps Maryelizabeth’s belief in Kingston kids in play.

No sponsor. No invitation. No “who do you know?.” That may have been true in 1952, it is not true in Kingston in 2026.

If you are new to the Hudson Valley, working from home, or just realized all your friends live inside your phone, this is the fastest way we know to meet women who actually show up.

One email starts it: [email protected].
