New Grand Representative

I traveled to Maple Chapter on Feb. 14 to give the Grand Representative of Kansas commission to Dian Breece. She was very excited and thrilled to receive the commission and looks forward to visiting Kansas as soon as possible. She hopes to attend Grand Chapter there this year.

Sad News

The Golden Chain of our Grand Chapter has again been broken by the passing of Sylvia Palmer, PGM yesterday morning, Feb 8th.  Sylvia was a gracious wonderful lady with a radiant smile and a friend to all.  She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Prayers Needed

Past Grand Matron Sylvia Palmer has had a stroke, affecting her left side. She is at Swedish Hospital in "comfort care." She apparently cannot speak, but does recognize folks and can squeeze their hands. Her daughters are with her and have asked for no visitors at this time, but cards will be appreciated. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Pill Bottle Information

Dear Sister & Brothers,

  Thank you for participating in the pill bottle program this year.  After speaking with WGM Jean I have set a cut-off date of May 1st for you to turn in your label free, glue free, washed inside and outside, dried and caps replaced bottles to either a Grand Officer or me (you can always bring them to Poulsbo Chapter on the 2nd Wednesday).  This cut-off date will allow me time to check every bottle, package them up and send them off to Ohio in time to give a full report at Grand Chapter.  If you, as individuals, still wish to participate in this program I will be glad to give you the name and address for Matthew 25 Ministries so you can mail them directly to them.

  Again, thank you for your support of this program.

         Sharon Spudich, Poulsbo Chapter, Pill Bottle Chair
