Well, it has been a while since I have updated this but as you know, things have been a little busy. Since last posting, I have been to New Mexico Grand Chapter and was honored to be the emblem bearer for Electa's station for Pamala James, the new Worthy Grand Matron of New Mexico. We had a wonderful time and am already looking forward to next year's session. We have also attended General Grand Chapter in Tulsa and I was please to see that we had close to 50 from Arizona attending. It was truly an education to attend and see how our Order is trying to grow throughout the World!
Offical Visits at Valley of the Sun #70, Golden Rule #1, Mesa Starlight #16, Sun City #66, Arcadia #9 and White Mountain #8 have been completed along with several Friendship nights and honor nights for Grand Esther, Susan Glenn, Grand Martha, Pat Peterson, Grand Warder, Dean Powell, Grand Trustee Barbara Wunder, Grand Conductress Jane Garcia, Grand Sentinel, Earl Wunder, Grand Electa, Patty Dennis, Associate Grand Conductress, Linda Heberling and Grand Organist, Kathy Pierson have been held. Great times where had at all and attendance has been really, really good. I am so grateful for the support and encouragement I have been receiving and will be forever thankful.
As we head into the New Year, we have a very busy schedule for the first three months, so we are all taking a deep breath and charging forward!
My New Year's wish for you, my friends, is not a simple one. For I wish you hope and joy and peace, days filled with warmth and sun. I wish you love and friendship, too, throughout the coming year, Lots of laughter and happiness to fill your world with cheer. May you count your blessings, one by one, and when totaled by the lot, may you find all you've been given to be more than what you sought. May your journeys be short, your burdens light. May your spirit never grow old. May all your clouds have silver linings and your rainbows pots of gold. I wish this all and so much more. May all your dreams come true. May you have the most happy of years, my friends!
