    The Vergennes American Legion Auxiliary have selected three junior girls from Vergennes Union High School to attend Green Mountain Girls’ State this year. The Auxiliary will sponsor Marissa Jochum, Casey Jones, and Mary Langworthy, as they spend the week of  June 17 at Vermont Technical College in Randolph, Vermont.

    The purpose of Girls’ State is to provide citizenship training for girls of high school age; to afford them an opportunity to live together as self-governing citizens; and to inform them about the duties, privileges, rights and responsibilities of American citizenship, in order that they may understand and participate in the functioning of their government.

    Thank you to the members of the Vergennes American Legion Auxiliary for their generous support in this educational program.
