Each

You

pioneers
by making sure your ancestors are all represented in our history
collection.
You will be expected to make contributions to the Lesson Committee by

any appropriate history you may have. Lesson outlines, which name in
advance
the subjects to be published, are sent to each camp yearly. The lesson
editor
reserves the right to make selections for publication and to edit that
which is
published.
You
may
be
elected
to
one
of
the
camp
offices,
or
