52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2023: Week 30 (IN THE NEWS)
A few weeks ago I wrote about our children growing up to enjoy the great outdoors.
For this week's prompt IN THE NEWS I share a couple of newspaper articles showing some of that foundation.
The first article is from THE GRAND FORKS GAZETTE in Grand Forks, BC, Canada published on January 31st 2004 when our boys were 6 & 10

We had originally joined the Young Naturalists' Club when we lived in a rural area of Langley in 2002 & 2003. When we returned to Grand Forks our boys were saddened to find no YNC in the area.

When we moved to Chilliwack later the local program was seeking a leader, and I agreed to take it over.
I continued to lead the program until our boys developed other interests, and I could no longer justify the volunteer hours needed for the Young Naturalists.
For a long time after stepping down as leader I really missed it.
