TWO NEW JUNIOR CIRCLES

What better way is there to honor special women in our lives, than to name a new Junior Circle after them. That is what our Junior members have done. The Margaret Yarborough Junior Circle in Columbia, Tennessee started in October, 2008 with nine NEW members!

The other new Junior Circle is the Sarah Junior Circle in Charleston, South Carolina which is named for a special lady, Sarah Stroman. This Circle has seven members and started in February, 2009. They already participated in their Branch Convention and received an award for 100% participation!

CONGRATULATIONS to these NEW Junior Circles!

JUNIOR CAMPS

Camp Lookout in Montrose, Iowa, is gearing up for a summer of fun. There are five weekly camping sessions for girls beginning on June 14th. The week of camp for boys begins on July 19th. The girls weeks have a different theme each week which includes Retro, Holiday, Mystery, Wonders of Nature, and Creative Arts. They also have Camp Venture which is shorter and allows younger campers to have the fun camping experience. Check out the camp's website at www.camplookoutiowa.org for more details.

Indiana's Junior Camp, 2008

Indiana's Junior Camp is scheduled for June 21-26 at Camp McCormick at McCormick Creek State Park. The Director and staff are busy preparing for a week of fun activities which include KDS history, devotion writing, swimming, crafts, manners, singing, etc. I will be attending this camp for a couple days and I know I can't wait!
Any Junior interested in attending either one of these camps can e-mail me at ganddhur@who.rr.com during the month of May and I will direct you to the persons in charge.

HAVE FUN JUNIORS!

Cleburne Charters New Junior Circle - the Sunshine Sisters

The Sunshine Sisters Circle was chartered on October 26, 2006. Lend A Hand Circle sponsored the newest junior circle along with Hearts of Gold Circle. The Sunshine Sisters consists of 9 members who are King's Daughters' legacies. This wonderful group of 5th graders are filled with the spirit and ready to work! Their first project was taking snack donations to the Johnson County Child Advocacy Center. They received a wonderful tour of the facility by Tammy King, the director. They are donating gifts to Cleburne City Union's Goodfellows and are helping pack the Goodfellow boxes. They also filled precious Christmas stockings to be included with some of the boxes. We hope that you will attend the State Convention this spring and meet these wonderful young ladies!
