Saturday, June 20th was the Orange County Girls State Tea where delegates from Orange County came together to meet each other before attending Empire Girls State, June 30th to July 6th at SUNY Brockport. This year the delegates from our ALA George Smith Unit 1607 are Jilliana Renna and Charlotte Curabba. The guest speaker was Malunga Kinzonzi, our 2025 Girls State delegate, who shared her experiences of attending Girls State and being elected NYS Empire Girls State Senator and spending a week in Washington, D.C. We are proud of these young ladies. Thank you to our members, Fran Solimando, Kim Williams and Becky Olah for representing our auxiliary at the event. We also want to thank our Girls State Chairperson, Heather Post, for her hard work in chairing this committee and selecting wonderful candidates.
