Did they ever have the reunion? That was an interesting thing to see come up. It seems to me the programs of the church changed the year or so after I had been in the program to the end, the Laurals and the other changes came as I went out of Beehives and so on. I was living in Salt Lake when I was going through ages 21-30 and we had a Ward there called the Thirteenth Ward of the University West Stake I think. We had a lot of that age group in that Ward but there were elderly people who were there also and we were very active. When I came back to be in the Idaho Falls 7th Ward there were very few of us and I was grouped with the 17-18 year olds because there were only a small group of people over the age of 30. Does any one remember the 13th Ward inSalt Lake?

Could Maurine give a discription of the pin as detailed as possible? I would like to have a copy of it made so my daughter in law could give it to who father who earned it but never recieved it because the discontinued the program a few days before he got his paper work in. That you very much and God Bless you. Diane

Jenny, this question comes up surprisingly frequently. The pins haven’t been made for decades and are no longer available through the Church. Your best bet, so far as I know, is to check with antiques shops if you live in traditional Mormon areas, and to search regularly on eBay. I have to say, though, that I have haunted eBay for Mormon memorabilia for years now and have never seen a Gleaner or M-Man pin come up for auction.

(Before anyone else suggests this, as has been done in the past in comments that have not been posted: It would be inappropriate to ask another commenter to sell his own pin to you, and equally inappropriate to post bids or contact information here on the off chance that some future commenter wants to sell one.)

Can you share the information about the gathering, and then maybe we can help advertise it in a variety of ways?

We are getting more and more excited about the reunion for the Golden Gleaners. Our numbers aren’t all that high yet, but we shall continue to make the reunion public. Please, spread the word! Let’s keep our memory alive!
Some have asked about bringing husbands or other escorters. As long as we have room and food, ok! The more the merrier!
