Application for membership

Welcome New Members. Greg Wood several years ago enrolled first son Kellen, later enrolled son Leland, and for 2008 is adding Brennen.  Now that’s a lot of wood! All boys are active in sports, none yet teenagers.  I wonder, how many chapters can make this claim?   Also joining the crew is student James Spang, active in setting up toy trains at many of our events, and Mark Seibert, introduced  by Lane Plotner. Mark is a new Lincoln County resident, a former fire fighter who likes to work with metal. The best thing you can do for your YPRHS is to mentor a new member.
