JA of Abbeville welcomes incoming provisional class

Abbeville, LA – Junior Auxiliary of Abbeville (JA of Abbeville) welcomes its incoming provisional class for the 2015-2016 year.
This group of ladies has shown interest in JA of Abbeville and completed provisional training on Saturday August 8th at Vermilion Oaks.
During training the ladies learned about the history of our chapter and the many projects performed in our community.
These ladies will be trained for six months and attend chapter meetings and projects to determine if they wish to volunteer their time to their community through this organization for the next five years.
