All others have been accounted for...

MONDAY - is a meeting with our first RITUAL COMPETITION!!!   Are you practicing??? 

Prizes are on the line - and if your name is drawn you WILL stand up and do the part!  Whether you know it or not!  Yes tough love ladies!   But remember its love.  :-)


I have cookie order sheets for those who didn't get it!

AND REMEMBER!!!  Miss S is going to SOUTH AFRICA - and is bringing back PRIZES FOR THE GIRL who sells the most!   I mean seriously - how cool is that?!?!?    (everyone will get something - but top selling get first choice - -- and not the $1 key chain!!)

Are you saving your clothing?!?!   We have until early February to get the amounts we need so gather up!

That is all for now - more later!

Much Rainbow Love,
Mother Advisor.

MEETING TONIGHT!!!

YES - TONIGHT THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 20TH.

 

Dress code is casual.   7:00 PM.  We'll do something fun from the big box that arrived at my house a few weeks ago...

 

We'll talk Cookie orders; We'll make thank you cards to the Lodges for the help sending our girls to Supreme, and we'll talk what's happening in October.

 

Oh yeah - and Grand Officer's retreat next weekend.

 

I hope everyone can make it!   Let's have some fun!!

 

Much Rainbow Love, 

 

Your Mother Advisor.

RSVP -- with preferred date...

Dear all,

I have missed all of you this summer and hope you had a wonderful summer.  I would like to find out how many of you would prefer to have your Uncle Ralph cookies delivered on the 19^th of November (the Monday before Thanksgiving) vs how many of you would like them the 5^th of November (for those that might be traveling on the 19^th)?  I am asking now as I remember last year some of you wanted to deliver your Uncle Ralph orders during your travels around Thanksgiving.

Please let me know no later than Monday the 17^th.

In Rainbow Love and Service,

Miss S
