The camps . meet once a month and dues are set by each camp but include $4.50 which goes to the Central DUP Camp in Salt Lake City and $1 to the County Camp. A nominal charge is added to help keep each local camp with expenses. "We find that most of the students touring the DUP Museum here do not know about the Pioneers or the heritage of the state, and we want to help perpetuate this history and not let it be forgotten," she said.

"About 73 percent of the members of the Utah Daughters of Pioneers are over 75 years of age. We need new young members," she said. She invited anyone interested in joining -- or becoming active - in the DUP organization to contact her at 756-5342, Jean Butler or Mariam park, all in American Fork, and officers of the North Utah County Company, or any DUP member to find out more information. |
