The Motto of this club: “We believe in the sanctity of the home. We believe the home is a place where love, faith, trust, and devotion must be lived each day; where obedience and reverence grow; and where God is known. We believe those within its walls should be taught to work, to play, and have compassion for those less fortunate. We believe sharing responsibilities is necessary, and that from the fireside will come the citizens who will uphold the best way of life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
