Y's Menettes share the warm fellowship of an international organization by:
-
Participation
-
Enjoying social activities which often involve the whole family
-
Attending Regional, Area and International Conventions
-
Learning of our friends and fellow members in other countries through the "Sister Club program"
This involvement contributes to our individual personal development.
