Think of all the groups you belong to over the years? Your grade school years? Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4H, brownies. Your high school year? FFA, fcla, fbla, Honor Society, team sports.
Your college years? A fraternity or sorority, Your older adult years? Masons, daughters of the American Revolution, quilt club, Lions Club, Optimist Club, Elk’s Lodge
