In your opinion, why do you think women should join JA of Abbeville?:
""The Junior Auxiliary is a place where women can let their light shine & share their talents with the community.

ADMINISTRATIVE: Treasurer (2 years)
In your opinion, why do you think women should join JA of Abbeville?:
"To put our wishes for the world we live in and the world of future generations into action versus only a dream in our heart. Volunteering reminds us each day the simple things we take for granted, and how easy it is to inspire and lift others up by giving your time. The reward is seeing the meaningful change you make in the community and the priceless smile on the faces of each child who receives a dream come true through the blessing of the Chapters time."

BRITTANY GUIDRY: Recording Secretary

Leadership Roles: PROJECTS: Faith House Liaison
ADMINISTRATIVE: Secretary
In your opinion, why do you think women should join JA of Abbeville?:
I have always felt we have a responsibility to think beyond ourselves and work to help others achieve a better tomorrow. JA fulfills this responsibility. It cultivates a renewed sense of compassion and camaraderie in community service. A favorite quote of mine is "service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth"...JA helps 'pay the rent'!
