Currently we have approximately 12 Juniors registered within our Club and have approximately 5 that attend each meeting. They participate within the Club Meetings by:

• Helping with our bi-annual club auctions
• Helping with the slab drawing (This is where members of the club bring in various identified slabs and we sell tickets and call out the numbers for the members to win and pick their winning slab(s), in order to raise money for the club.)

We are in the process of setting up a Youth Program, in the same meeting building, but in a different room at the same time as the general membership meeting takes place. In our past Christmas auction, we raised enough money to do so.
