...pale person from Florida. Shocking, yes. Coming from a family with few traditions, I cling to my paleness as my only link with my Irish heritage. During high school, I was comfortable enough with my complexion to wear shorts every day (except for those few weeks in January when the temperature plummeted into the frigid 50s). But now, as a Cantabridgian, I spend eight months of the year hibernating inside a wardrobe consisting only of pants and parkas.

Today many of these same people, now married with children, are signing up. Though Jack and Jill still carries an elitist image, these people see a need for the group. In search of better jobs, dream homes and superior schools, many black families have taken root in pale places, far from their old neighborhoods and extended families. "When I got into Jack and Jill 18 years ago, most black families lived in the same part of town," says Karen Clark, an Oklahoma City mother.
