WHO WE ARE AND WHERE TO FIND US
WHO ARE THE KING'S DAUGHTERS AND SONS?
"Being
a member [of The King's Daughters and Sons] has introduced me to many
industrious, creative men and women, some of whom have become life-long
friends. Membership has given me an opportunity to put my religious philosophy
into action, because I believe we are here to do the Lord's work on earth
and membership offers plenty of opportunities for that. It has provided
chances for leadership development as well as spiritual development, has
introduced me to an enchanting place called Chautauqua, and has made it
possible for me and my daughter's family to work together in an organization
we all admire and respect."
Nancy Barret, Chairperson, Membership Extension Committee.
