2025 Summer Bucket List

Posted on July 6, 2025 by mlenoach

I had so much fun creating a bucket list last year that I knew I wanted to do it again this year. Aiming for a blackout, let’s go summer!

Lunch with Marc Happel

Posted on January 30, 2025 by mlenoach

At the beginning of January, I had the pleasure of attending a luncheon featuring Marc Happel, the Costume Director for the New York City Ballet at the New York Junior League.

Marc discussed his process of creating costumes for new ballets and his visually stunning book NEW YORK CITY BALLET: CHOREOGRAPHY & COUTURE.

I had an amazing time, enjoying lunch by Liz King of Kings Carriage House, and meeting new friends at the League.

Here are pictures from the event.

Honoring Martin Luther King Jr.

Posted on January 27, 2025 by mlenoach

Last week, I participated in two service projects in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Last Monday, I created cards for Senior Citizens with my daughter. We decorated them with hearts for Valentine’s Day and we made 20 of them.

Last Wednesday, I helped create HomeNow kits for families moving from shelters into permanent housing with the NYJL’s Women of Color Affinity Group and DIAD-OD committee. These kits include home essentials like cookware, bed sheets, and cleaning supplies. We unboxed boxes, sorted supplies and put the kit together. We were able to put together approx. 40 kits.

I had so much fun with my Summer bingo card last year that I made one for my goals this year. Let the games begin!

Outstanding Volunteer

Posted on December 3, 2024 by mlenoach

On November 22nd, I was officially announced as one of five Outstanding Volunteers for the New York Junior League. The League is a women-powered volunteer organization that focuses on improving the health and well-being of women, children, and families in NYC. Each year, the nonprofit chooses five members and honors them as Outstanding Volunteers, and I am honored to be part of this year’s Outstanding class.

The soiree was a fun, memorable night, and I’m so proud to be part of such an impactful organization. Here are pictures of the night!

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

This year, I was invited to watch the parade at my friend’s apartment. She has an amazing view of Sixth Avenue.

Here are some pictures of the parade.

Goodbye Summer

Posted on September 21, 2024 by mlenoach

At the beginning of summer, I created a bucket list of things I wanted to do and created a bingo card. As fall officially starts tomorrow, I took the time to reflect on everything I accomplished.

Here is my summer bingo card.

Not a blackout, but I definitely got a bingo!

This summer was filled with great moments!

We were also so lucky to travel this summer. We visited my family’s beach house in Shirley (which I already wrote about), the Great Wolf Lodge in Pennsylvania, and the beautiful island of St. Thomas.

We visited the Great Wolf Lodge for our wedding anniversary. Maxi loved the water park and all the activities on-site.
