Doug Dunaway American Legion Post 790 celebrates our very own Elisha Kenniv on her most recent adventure as she participated in Buckeye Girls State (BGS) from June 12-18 at the University of Mount Union, Alliance, Ohio. It has been our privilege to sponsor Ms. Kenniv for this opportunity (pictured to the right in the image above).
For those who do not know, Buckeye Girls State welcomes young women around Ohio who are eager to learn more about our government. As these young women present to the University of Mount Union’s campus they start an intensive week learning about city, county, and state government. As BGS delegates they are educated in the duties, privileges, rights, and responsibilities of good citizenship. BGS’s boasts that these young women learn more about government in a week than they could in an entire semester of high school.
Ms. Kenniv presided as the BSG senate chaplain with a prayer that caught my attention as she praised our Lord
As one Nation under God, you are the King over our government, the Judge over all judges, and the Law-maker over all legislators. We thank You and praise You.
Ms. Elisha Kenniv (6/16/2022)
