Our first meeting will be Thursday, September 6, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. We will meet at Glenn's Chapel Baptist Church, 778 Glenn Chapel Rd, Gardendale, AL 35071. As a reminder, all of our meetings will be the first Thursday of each month at 10:00 a.m. There may be special meetings at other times and locations if we elect to do service projects. The first meeting will consist of electing new officers.

We will have a fire safety poster contest in October. The 2012 theme is "Have Two Ways Out!" We will recognize a winner from each group; Clover Buds, Juniors, Senior I and Senior II.
