Jorja Warembourg, Cady

Eaton and McKayla Eaton of Pinedale High

School have been selected to attend the 77th

session of American Legion Auxiliary Wyoming

Girls State on the campus of Laramie

County Community College in Cheyenne,

June 9 through June 15.

American Legion Auxiliary Girls State

was established in 1941 and is an annual program

designed as a practical experience in

self-government, based on Wyoming State

Government. Wyoming Girls State was not

held in 1944 and 1945 due to World War II.

Girls State is non-partisan and non-political in

that no existing party is promoted.

The program emphasizes the importance

of government in modern life and educates

young women in the duties, privileges, rights

and responsibilities of American citizenship.

It awakens a sincere conviction that a well-informed,

intelligent, participating citizenry is

vital to protect and preserve our American

institutions and democracy. These goals are

achieved by actual participation in a simulation

of the political and governmental process.

The three high school juniors were selected

to Resource Advisory Council

Agency seeks broad spectrum of

nominees to help improve public

lands management nationwide

WYOMING  – The Bureau of Land Management

is seeking public nominations for

positions on 31 resource advisory councils

nationwide. These citizen-based committees

assist in the development of recommendations

that address public land management

issues.

The BLM maintains 38 such advisory

committees formally chartered under the Federal

Advisory Committee Act and the Federal

Policy and Land Management Act across the

West. Of those committees, 31 are RACs and

the remainder site or subject-specific advisory

councils. Each RAC consists of 10 to 15

members from diverse interests in local communities,

and they assist in the development

of recommendations that address public land

management issues.

“Input from local communities and stakeholders

is crucial towards improving our

management of public lands. Our Wyoming

Resource Advisory Council is designed to

enable local leaders to provide us feedback

on current issues, concerns and proposals,”

within their school and community.

They are sponsored by Phillips Edwards

Post 47 Auxiliary of Pinedale.
