Happy new beginnings and resolutions to all of you. Personally, I don’t make New Years’ resolutions since I don’t want to add guilt to my life (I can never keep a resolution). Usually it is to lose weight and that just doesn’t happen without some effort.

Wednesday’s session, January 7, is our traditional “Flannel formal” meeting. We started this tradition in 2019 when we met on January 1. It turned out to be a lot of fun and have continued since that time. Officers, you can wear pajamas if you care to. I will have a flannel formal (my angel nightgown) since I wear a crown, but for this meeting only I am not asking you to wear a long dress.

Lunch for our January session will be prepared and served by the Chorus. The entree is Mexican food. Session will be the abbreviated format.

To those of you who haven’t already heard, our Pr. Zenobia MaryAnn Dougherty passed away just after Christmas. She had requested no services and the family is honoring her wishes. Please keep the family in her prayers.

Winter Ceremonial will be held January 18, 1pm. If you have someone you would like to propose, that proposal must be presented at the Jan. 7 meeting in order to join the Jan. 18 ceremonial (yes, it can be done). Practice for officers will be Friday, Jan. 16 at 10am.

Our Supreme Queen, Kathy Walliker, is back on the road again today, having been home for the holidays. Her Homecoming will be February 19, 20, 21, based out of the Shrine Center in Wilsonville. The Committee is busily completing the planning. Registration forms are now available.
