Girls State Returns to 成人抖阴June 17-22
SALISBURY, MD---From June 17-22, more than 125 high school juniors throughout the state converge on Salisbury University for a hands-on look at what makes government run during the 72nd session of the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) Maryland Girls State.
Sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Maryland, ALA Maryland Girls State is a non-partisan event held at 成人抖阴since 2009. Participants are assigned to represent fictitious cities and counties, learning how local and state governments work, from elections to the passage of legislation.
Students also hold a mock trial, learning about the judicial process and jury duty responsibility, and meet with local and state legislators.
This year they are joined by two participants whose parents are stationed on a military base in Belgium (selected by American Legion Flanders Field Post BE02 in that country and sponsored by the ALA unit in Perryville, MD), as well as officers from the American Legion Department of Maryland family: ALA Department President Alta Glotfelty, past ALA Junior President Laura Eastland, American Legion Commander James Marchinke and Sons of the American Legion Detachment Commander Dave Hullihen.
