“The club is about enjoying childhood and not growing up too fast,” said Margaret Dixon, leader. “I feel like our girls need an alternative view of what it means to be a girl–the importance of who they are inside–not what they are told by their friends, society and the media.”

The club meets from 4‑5:30 p.m. at Vineyard Church, 42105 N. 41st Dr. Club dues are $3 per meeting and parents are welcome to observe.
