The Junior League of Birmingham will join SOAP, a nonprofit run by Birmingham native and human trafficking survivor Theresa Flores, during the 2013 North American International Auto Show.
When Theresa Flores was a teenager in Birmingham in the early 1980's, she was pretty, blond and ran on the track team during the day.

The Junior League will be working with Flores' nonprofit SOAP, or Save Our Adolecents from Prostitution. Volunteers will fan out across the city this Saturday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. to distribute bars of soap to dozens of motels and hotels — places where pimps and traffickers often take their…

At the Junior League's Pumpkin Patch and Halloween Parade on Sunday, participants will be able to visit a "make your own cookbook" station and peruse dozens of healthful fall recipes. Here are a few.
The Junior League of Birmingham's 18th annual Pumpkin Patch happens this weekend on the terrace of The Community House, bringing Halloween early to downtown Birmingham. The day includes bounce houses, crafting, photo session and games for children, not to mention a children's parade of Halloween costumes at 4 p.m., sponsored by the Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce.
