Girls State 2023

Our club is again sponsoring local high school girls to attend the Bluebonnet Girls State program.   Two girls who have just completed their junior year at St. John Paul II Catholic High School have been selected for our sponsorship.   An orientation session was held by the American Legion Auxiliary of the Walton F. Hoffmann Memorial Unit 179  on Saturday 27 May, and was an opportunity to meet these girls and their parents.  The Auxiliary also recognized this years sponsors and presented each with a certificate of appreciation.

The Bluebonnet Girls State is held at Texas Lutheran University from June 18th to the 24th, 2023.  The program “develops leadership, educates on our system of government, instills a great sense of patriotism and Americanism, and stimulates a desire to maintain the democratic governmental processes within our republic.”
