(Unofficial Count) 115 people attended the Official Visit of WGM Marge and WGP Dennis and helped Analia Chapter celebrate its 100th birthday. 10 Grand Officers visited with the warm crowd - although not as warm as the last OV. The weather was a little cooler and the breeze off the Sound helped keep the temperature down.
WM Jean Pennington and WP Bob Benish presided over a meeting filled with interesting tidbits about Analia's first 100 years. Did you know that John Rex Thompson was Worthy Grand Patron when Analia was constituted and he was at the ceremony? The officers did a beautiful job of opening the Chapter.
Thirty-eight members of Analia Chapter attended including many 50 year members. As a special treat, Cathy Cook, Analia's Associate Conductress, did the AC lecture to the candidates for us. Cathy was the Ritual Competition winner for that lecture and it's easy to see why. The members of analia were very proud.
WM Jean and WP Bob were proud to introduce Virginia Harvey and Harry Warnock and give their 50 year pins. WGM Marge was delighted to present their certificates. They were given grand honors in the East.
WGM Marge also had the pleasure of presenting Associate Matron Sheila Shreve with her life membership. Afterwards, the Chapter presented a Centennial Tea downstairs with homemade cookies, sandwiches, fresh fruit and cool drinks. It was a wonderful evening.
