The Junior Members of our Order are members who are ages birth through 17 years of age. These youth are an important part of our future.
International dues for Junior Members, age birth through 17 years of age, are only $2.00 per year. Juniors may become Junior Members of Senior Circles, or, with the support of Senior Members, start their own Circles with as few as three members.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
Wow! Here it is 2008 already. Where did 2007 go? I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you the best in 2008. Usually we think of making resolutions as the New Year enters. Have you made yours yet? A resolution is sort of like a promise of something that you want to accomplish in the New Year. I have a wonderful set of resolutions for you.
Exercise daily! This
can be accomplished in various ways but here are my suggestions.
1) Walk with the Lord.
2) Stretch your arms towards Him.
3) Cross your legs and meditate quietly.
4) Run and tell others about our Order.
Do good deeds! Again
here are my suggestions for this one.
1) Help around the house more.
2) Visit residents at nursing homes.
3) Read to younger and older people - books are fun!
4) Invite others to join the King's Daughters & Sons.
With these things accomplished we will all have a great year together. Have fun and remember to exercise daily and do good deeds! It is going to be great in 2008!
Idea for the Month
I challenge each of
you to READ or DONATE books to someone at least once a month in 2008.
This will help support our Literacy program and it will help others as
well. And imagine how good you will feel if you can put a smile on someone
else's face. Good luck with this challenge. I want to hear how you are
doing with it!

NEWS FROM "THE BRANCH" NEWSLETTER - TEXAS
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!
