The
beginning of the 1980's decade saw a focus on development and civic
involvement encompassing a threefold approach: professional development,
personal enrichment and community service. Junior Chamber Committees
included business affairs, environmental affairs, management development,
governmental affairs, world affairs, and corporate sponsorship of
membership. The interest in world affairs from the 70's also spilled
into the 80's with the "Century of the Pacific" initiative
which enabled the Junior Chamber to develop long-term relationships
with Pacific Rim countries and dignitaries throughout the decade.
Cultural
enrichment, education and civic responsibility were also a highlight
of this decade: the proceeds of the first LA Marathon were used
to refurbish Fire Station 23, an historical museum; art, music and
dance activities included a Dance Kaleidoscope project, Musical
Encounters project with the Young Musicians Foundations, and the
Future Masters Art Program. Efforts were also focused on education
and senior projects such as "Adopt-A-School" Programs,
partnership with Belmont Community Adult School, English As A Second
Language Program and Senior Companions Program.
