New Grand Representative

I traveled to Golden Rod Chapter in Snohomish last night and presented  Anna Thomas  with the Commission of Vermont. Before the meeting  I gave several members tickets. When it was time to make the presentation I passed out envelopes with a small gift inside, to those people with the instructions they couldn't open them yet.  

Then called out a number and had the person with that number open her envelope. Inside was a small gift bag with coins wrapped in tissue paper. I asked how much money she had and the amount matched the last two numbers on her envelope.  Two more people opened envelopes and again the amount matched the last two numbers. The I called for number 200 and Anna proceeded to open her envelope and there was her Vermont pin. She sat there with a stunned look and tears ran down her face. I then introduced her as the new Grand Representative of Vermont. Took her to the East and gave her the Certificate and rest of the paperwork. She was pretty much speechless.  It was fun thing to do.

Marian Whetham, Grand Esther

ANSWER TO CLUE #3

Our kite set sail and landed in Port Angeles.  Calvin and I are delighted to announce our Memory Maker Grand Ruth.

Virginia "Ginny" Elliott will be our Grand Ruth and her Escort is Phyllis Rasler.

It seems that some were stumped by the clue but those who figured it out and were able to attend the meeting in Port Angeles had a Grand time.  Cheri Moll and Tom Schenwerk were there to represent the PGM and PGP's. Current Grand Ruth, Melanie Boss was there and looked lovely in her creamy-pale yellow dress. In the excitement I forgot to count but I think there were 4 past Grand Ruths. Ginny is a bundle of fun and joy and we look forward to her sharing her sunny yellow outlook on life.  Two more clues this week.  Hope you will be able to attend.
