OV Report - Martha Washington & Lackamas, Aug 8, 2009

(Unofficial Count) 86 members from Washington and Oregon attended the Official Visit of Martha Washington and Lackamas Chapers on Saturday, August 8th in Vancouver. Eleven members of the American Emerald Grand Family were present.

WM Robin Patty and WP Cliff Bedell and the members of Martha Washington did long form opening and introductions. WM Robin provided some interesting and little known facts about the flag during introductions. The work was done by Lackamas Chapter lead by WM Barbara Runyan and WP Russel Baily. This was the second OV where the chairman of the examining committee has memorized the test oath and WGM Marge noted in her response, that while this is not necessary, it is wonderful that Brother Willie Winstead put forth the effort to do that.

Prior to the meeting the two Chapters served a delicious pot luck luncheon and everyone enjoyed sharing the meal and spending time with friends.

After the meeting everyone enjoyed delicious refreshments in the dining room. They have great cooks in the Southwest part of our state.
