Junior Leaders Give Service!
On Friday December 16, Our Junior Leader members attended the Cameron Council on Aging Christmas Party. Here, they had the opportunity to visit with seniors in our community, play a few games of bingo, and assist in serving them lunch. It is so important for our youth to connect and learn from this older generation. They loved visiting with the kids and we are excited about future partnership opportunities!
