National Junior Pledge

I pledge my loyalty to the Junior Club women
By doing better than ever before
What work I have to do;
By being prompt, honest, courteous;
By living each day trying to accomplish something,
Not merely to exist.
 

Collect of Club Women of Florida

Keep us, O God, from pettiness; 
let us be large in thought, in word, in deed;
Let us be done with fault finding 
and leave off self-seeking.
May we put aside all pretense 
and meet each other face to face- 
without self-pity and without prejudice. 
May we never be hasty in judgment 
and always be generous. 
Let us make time for all things; 
make us to grow calm, serene, gentle. 
Teach us to put into action our better impulses, 
straightforward and unafraid. 
Grant that we may realize it is the little things 
that create differences;
that in the big things in life we are as one. 
And may we strive to touch and to know 
the great common human heart of us all. 
And, Oh Lord God, 
let us forget not to be kind. 
- Mary Stewart
