Text Message Reminders and Updates for Members

In addition to emails and this blog, reminder texts have become yet another way for members to stay connected between meetings and stay informed about club & community events. If you have questions or if you would like to receive these text message reminders, please contact the Inter-club Chair. This is a great way for Associate & Life members to stay connected and to know about club activities when they are happening!

Pencil Pals

Local schools are always in need of new or (gently) used backpacks, calculators, 1 subject folders, black ink pens, pencils and graph paper to donate to local schools. If you can donate any of these items, bring them to the next general meeting. For making a donation to this project, members may earn service hours & for the public,it is a tax-deductable donation.

Junior Auxiliary Prayer

Send us, O God, as Thy messengers to the hearts without a home, to lives without love, to the crowds without a guide. Send us to the children whom none have blessed, to the famished whom none have visited, to the fallen whom none have lifted, to the bereaved whom none have comforted.Kindle Thy flame on the altars of our hearts, that others may be warmed thereby; cause Thy light to shine in our souls, that others may see the way; keep our sympathies and insight ready, our wills keen, our hands quick to help others in their need.Grant us clear vision, true judgement, with great daring as we seek to right the wrong; and so endow us with cheerful love that we may minister to the suffering and forlorn even as Thou wouldst. May the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, rest upon us and upon all our work. May He give us light to guide us, courage to support us, and love to unite us now and forever more. Amen
