JOINHANDS
Join hands day (Jhd) is May 5, 2018! Your court can participate by
partnering with junior members or any community groups
(e.g., American Legion, a grade school or CCD class, Girl Scouts / Boy
Scouts, 4-H Club, etc.) to plan and complete an outreach project.
Together, understanding and appreciation
of our unique God-given gifts are
shared and realized!
JHD Project Ideas that Work!
Here is a sample of ideas to help get you started ...
Complete a Join Hands Day (JHD) summary form for your project
and the Home Offi ce will reimburse your court $30 for expenses and
refreshments. To obtain a summary form, either call the Fraternal
Department at (800) 344-6273, email to fraternal@ncsf.com or visit
www.ncsf.com in 'Philanthropy' under 'Fraternal Benefi ts' to print out
a Join Hands Day summary form. We have included links online to the
American Fraternal Alliance website, and their helpful tools including
brochures and planning guides!
• Collect stuffed bears (and other
animals), write messages to tie or
clip onto the bears and give them
to local police departments to use
in comforting children.
• Assemble "Summer Fun reading
Bags" for children to encourage
reading and learning over the
summer months.
• Take seniors and/or
children fi shing.
• Work with youth programs in your
area to hold an intergenerational
meal. Include a storytelling time
when different generations share
life experiences.
Youth &
adults work
to make a
difference.
