OV Report - Fern & Tacoma - Aug. 5, 2009

(Unofficial count) 90 members attended the official visit of WGM Marge and WGP Dennis to Fern and Tacoma Chapters. Ten members of the American Emerald Grand Family were there to support the 2 Chapters.

Prior to the meeting, they provided a wonderful "Dinner for a Donation" taco salad bar. It was delicious and much appreciated by those who came a long way for the meeting. The dinner raised $202.04 for the WGM and WGP projects.
WM Kim Williams and WP Ken Ellingson and the members of Fern Chapter opened the meeting and conducted the introductions. Then WM Robin Erickson and WP John Langlow and the members of Tacoma Chapter took over for the work (Examination of a Visitor) and closing. Tacoma Chapter also put on 2 delightful skits with audience participation - one about nurses for WGM Marge and one about WGP Dennis's "ancestor" Buffalo Dennis Okicich and his encounter with the meanest, nastiest, foulest, most vicious buffalo that ever lived. Make sure you ask the WGP how his ancestor stopped that buffalo!

After the meeting we enjoyed cookies and refreshments and lots of camraderie in the dining room.


Next up - Martha Washington and Lackamas in Vancouver, WA on Saturday, August 8th at 1:30 pm.
