Junior Auxiliary Week observed

The Junior Auxiliary of McMinnville, a member chapter of the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries, Inc., is joining forces with over 13,500 women in 102 chapters throughout the south to spotlight local efforts to carry out the organization?s national motto, ?Care Today ? Character Tomorrow? during National Junior Auxiliary Week.

Members will be working with area youth with their Pencil Pals program, where they distribute needed school supplies to area schools; participating in the Healthy Family Fair April 8, where they will be offering children?s fingerprinting and will be involved in the Child Advocacy?s booth at an art show at The Station-Pure Art April 7.

Other auxiliary activities planned during upcoming months include their annual Junior Miss Warren County Pageant scheduled for April 22 and the Nursery Capital Pageant planned for June 10. Their Coats for the Community project will start again in May. Members urge everyone to consider them when doing their spring cleaning. Coats of all sizes are needed for the project.

Incoming president, Danielle Sliger said, ?We are so proud to be involved in these activities in our community. The auxiliary strives to be an influence in the character building of our youth.?
