Boys/Girls Seminar
District 14D is conducting their annual Youth seminars and is asking the club to sponsor a Junior Boy and a Junior Girl to attend each one of these seminars. The Boys Seminar is scheduled for March 28th to 30th, while the Girl Seminar is scheduled for April 4th to 6th. These seminars, which are held at Beacon Lodge Camp, are in the form of a weekend retreat and include speakers on many interesting subjects, discussion groups with topics where the Boys and Girls are encouraged to share their own ideas and a time to improve their leadership skills. Other activities, along with recreation are also planned for the weekend. There is no cost to the Boy or Girl that attend these seminars. The only requirement is that the Boy and Girl should be a junior in High School. Please, talk to your Sons and Daughters, Grandchildren, neighbors and friends and let them know of this opportunity for a great weekend. If you know of anyone that might be interested in going to these Seminars or you have any questions please see Lion Bruce Carpenter.
