New Grand Representative

It was a great joy to be able to present the Grand Representative Commission for Ohio to brother Gil Carroll at Laurel Chapter on June 11th. After giving a few clues to as to the jurisdiction, the members figured out it was Ohio. I then asked sister Irene Jacobs to escort our newest Grand Representative to the East. She wandered around the room and came to the East where she picked up Gil (he was pro teming as Worthy Patron) and escorted him around the room and back to the East. Thank you PGM Sandy McAmmond for playing Beautiful Ohio the state song for Gil and PGM Marge Ramsdell for teaching us an Ohio cheer.. Gil was very surprised and pleased and cheers were heard from the chapter.  Gil and Jeannette plan to travel to Ohio.

We had 2 PGM's, 1 PGP and 14 former Grand Representatives in attendance. 

Thank you WGM Mary Ann for allowing me this privilege.

New Grand Representative

I went to Tacoma chapter to present Suzanne Martin, the Oklahoma Grand Representative commission.  I passed out 10 envelopes with answers in them.  As we asked the question trying to discover which state I was looking for, the envelopes were opened to get correct answer.  When we got to the 10th question,( this was when I wished I could sing), name the state song.  Well John Langlow had figured it out and started playing "OKLAHOMA".......then Suzanne opened her envelope which said,"Oklahoma......Suzanne Martin you are the new Grand Representative of Oklahoma".......she was stunned.  We got her to the East where I presented her certificate and pin and an Oklahoma state stone.....a red rose rock! There were lots of G. R., Grand Secretary, Grand Conductress and Grand Ruth in attendance!

Answer to Clue #9

We did it!  We traveled to Waitsburg and could hardly wait to announce that Marilyn Wilson will be Grand Warder of the Memory Makers Grand Family. Her escort is Gerry Stinnett. This chapter really knows how to turn up the heat. We had 2 PGP, 3 current grand officers, 4 GR, 2DI (Oh by the way Mary Ann, they are your DI and they will be GO for us ...) & 4 WM & WP.  Current grand warder Leslie Green was there with 4 past Grand Warders. Thank you Dottie Hardenbrook for coming all the way from Arizona and others from near and far.  A great time was had by all.  They did a wonderful initiation prior to the announcement. We congratulate all the members for their outstanding work. Newest member Skip is ready and able and thinks that all their meetings should be a full house. Stay tuned....meet us in Spokane Wednesday if you don't have another meeting scheduled.

Star love and tons of hugs. Calvin Mary Helen and Kristine
