JLT's Historical Timeline
Since 1923, JLT has been instrumental in the success of many notable community projects-Children's Medical Center, Leadership Tulsa, DVIS, Ronald McDonald House, Mayfest and Oxley Nature Center to name just a few. Early on, League members worked in the famous Tea Room and hosted variety shows to raise money to fund its efforts. Today, each member continues to give her time, talent and treasure to support the mission of the League.
