Happy New Year. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that the New Year brings you many blessings. It is time to really crank up our efforts promoting the Illustrating America Contest. All of your promotional materials, rules, and applications can be found in MALTA under Member Resources Youth Program. Please print out new applications as there have been changes to the rules this year. The student’s name, age, and grade level must be printed on the back of the entry and mats are no longer required to be white. March 31 will be here before you know it.
This month’s SWAP is from St. James Wright, VFW Auxiliary 5397. The VFW and Auxiliary jointly hosted a tea entitled Cupcakes and Conversation. The members met with a troop of 16 Girl Scouts. The subject was career goals and educational requirements for different career paths. This is a great example of mentorship for our young people. I’m sure a lot of knowledge was shared and both the adults and the young people benefited from the experience.
Don’t forget the deadline to apply for the Youth Activities National Program Award is March 31. The form can be found under Youth Activities in MALTA.
Please keep emailing your Youth Activities so that I can feature them in our monthly newsletter. My email is . Thank you!
