PARK RIDGE—The motion carries: On Wednesday, Oct. 9, delegates from American Legion Boys State and Girls State were invited to speak at the monthly meeting of American Legion Post 153. Several delegates who attended Jersey Boys State at Rider University in June shared their experiences during the program. Although Auxiliary Unit 153 had sent one delegate to Jersey Girls State, she was unable to attend the meeting.
Each participant received a framed “Good Citizenship Citation” from the post, and the attendees enjoyed the students’ presentations. The event will be replayed on PKRG-TV.
High school juniors interested in the 2025 program can apply through their guidance offices in January and February. The post and auxiliary look forward to reviewing applications for next year’s session.
