Three from area to attend Girls State
Faith American Legion Unit 327 Auxiliary has selected three area citizens to attend the 72nd Session of Tar Heel Girls State June 12-18 at Catawba College.
This year’s rising seniors are Nanci Rose Lefko of East Rowan High School; Emily Lauren Marohn of Carson High School; and Jan Moffit Sitterson of Carson High School.
Attendees at Girls State are addressed by top North Carolina government leaders; participate in development of two fictitious political parties including party platforms, campaigns and conventions, culminating with statewide election of a slate of state officers; and use parliamentary procedure to conduct all sessions, including legislative assemblies where bills and resolutions are drafted for General Assembly.
Highlights of the week include installation of state officers, a talent show and Girls State Chorus.
Girls State is sponsored by American Legion Auxiliary Department of North Carolina.
