The Purpose of this organization shall be to support the Griffin Spalding Historical Society in its activities and provide opportunities for community service for Guild members.
Junior Guild enables young girls to fully develop as responsible, productive citizens, to learn manners and proper social behavior, develop skills and values, which will prepare them for a richer career, community and family life.
Social events are a reward for having performed community service, - only 12 hours per year is required by each member, and it is hoped that Junior Guild members will be willing to work additional hours beyond the minimum requirement.
In January 1985, Mary Smalley - who was Chairman of T.W.I.G. - Togetherness We Impart Graciousness - a small social organization for high school age girls, and also a Board member of the GSHS, presented a proposal that there be a blending of the TWIG group to become a sub-group of the GSHS. The Board voted with favor on this idea and the Junior Guild of the Historical Society held its first meeting in August 1985.
With the transformation from TWIG to Junior Guild, it was Mary Smalley's and the GSHS board's intention's for Junior Guild to be a Service organization under the umbrella of the Historical Society. The organization's idea is to prepare young girls for their life ahead by teaching them community service and how vital it is.
Membership in the Junior Guild is open to sophomore, Junior and Senior High School daughters of Members in good standing with the GSHS.
