My Gleaners Experience

My Gleaner’s Experience I am a member of the Eastern Star, my branch is the Pride of the East 524. We sponsor a group of young ladies from the age of eight to eighteen. These young in our care are been taught how to become responsible grown women. Our motto is good behavior is always in style. I am one of the supervisor that teaches the girls the responsibility of giving back to their community. In the spring we work at the food bank, we pack, sort and help citizens take their things to their cars. We teach the young ladies to have compassion for their neighbors. The holidays we take gifts, play bingo and sing Christmas carols to seniors citizens in nursing homes. I set up meeting and contact each Gleaner of the next meeting and sometimes responsible for getting them to these meeting. I am responsible for setting up activities for our young ladies, so we have district day in our region where I set up competition for our girls to compete in dance, singing, poetry, oratorical and track and field against other girls in the district. I must find a venue for the competition to happen. If our girls wins, they get to compete in regional. In regional we compete with girls from across the eastern region of North Carolina. In July, we attend the Annual Assemblage where Gleaners and Knights assemble to pick their king and queen for the year. They also pick who would lead them in the following year. My role as supervisor is to help these young ladies in every possible way that I can to excel in school and at home. We expect so much of our youth that we must put our time in to get so much more from them.
