The Young Adult Conference concluded Sunday, June 14th, with the Slovenian Consulate General in Cleveland, Susana Cesarek speaking to the delegates about life in Slovenia. She took a Q&A session at the end. Thank you Susana for coming to our conference!

Congratulations to Madison Sinan (782) on being elected the YAC Chair for next year's conference and to Erin Lawrence (138) on being elected to attend the SNPJ Convention in August along with Madison.

Next year's Young Adult Conference will be June 11-13, 2027.

🌿🔨 Our Young Adult Conference attendees rolled up their sleeves today and made a big impact around the campground with several beautification projects!
From pulling weeds around the rock beds at the Main Building, to painting the upper Slovenefest gate booth and wishing well, and trimming the S.N.P.J. hedges, these young adults tackled every task with enthusiasm and pride.

Their biggest project was refreshing the Main Entrance sign. Each letter was carefully removed, sanded, repainted, and reinstalled after the sign board itself received a fresh coat of paint. The attention to detail and teamwork that went into this project was truly impressive!

A huge thank you to all of these hardworking young adults for helping keep our Recreation Center looking its best. Your dedication, teamwork, and willingness to give back are what SNPJ is all about. The results look fantastic! 👏💚💛
