We have two new beginnings in our Junior Department. Congratulations to our newest Junior Circles: Gerry Riley Junior Circle in Madison, Indiana and the Willing Workers Junior Circle in Mexico, Missouri!!!! Way to go Juniors!! I am so proud of each of you.
To those existing Circles, let's see if you can increase your membership this year. I would love to report new members for 007. Won't you help me with this?

As Junior Members, you can work with the Senior Members to help those who need help, visit those in nursing homes, make Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes all year, recycle pop tabs for Ronald McDonald Houses, etc. Together we can accomplish so much. Together we can reach for the stars!

THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH

" Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look at what they can do when they stick together." -- Vesta M. Kelly

CRAFT FOR THE MONTH

My niece, Ashley, an Ohio Junior Member, made us a beautiful candle for Christmas and she gave me permission to share it with you.
Take a glass jar (Mason jars work well). Fill it 1/3 full with sand. Place a pillar candle in the sand. Place a few colored, decorative stones on top of the sand around the candle. On the outside of the jar, hot glue cinnamon sticks and tie with twine. This is the perfect gift to make for someone special!!! Have fun.
