New Grand Representative of Pennsylvania

Paul Cooley of Centralia Chapter was announced last night as Grand Representative of Pennsylvania. Paul and his wife Gen were both very pleased as they are originally from PA.

There were 53 members in attendance, 1 GGC Committee member, 1 Grand Officer, 4 Grand Representatives, 2 Deputy Instructors and 3 visiting Worthy Matrons and a host of friends and well wishers.

Paul was in the East being honored as the Jr. Past Patron so I had him and first time WP Ray Berrian help her build an Easter basket.

The audience by applause or boo determined if an item was a good thing or not for a child's basket. There were Hershey bars, eggs with money and eggs with candy, a slinky (the state toy) a rubber firefly and lady bug mask (the state insects) and some Philadelphia cream cheese.

Finally, Paul opened an egg with a Grand Representative's pin inside, to his surprise and the energetic applause of the membership.
