Speakers, Banquets and Meeting

Yesterday I got up early to get Clay out the door for his trip to Camp Barstow for OA training and for me to leave out for the GFWC-SC (General Federation of Women's Clubs) Winter Board Meeting. The board meeting was very informative --I learned a lot about GFWC-SC and I am so glad that I joined a group affiliated (Junior Woman's Club of Columbia). I met many new women and was able to spend time getting to know Amye and Leslie from JWC better. After the meeting I headed home to rest before Ron's friend, Bill, came over and we all drove out to Barstow for the Order of the Arrow, Muskogee Lodge, Winter Banquet. Not that they all aren't important, but this one was really important because Clay was being installed to the Lodge Council as Vice Chief of Inductions....quite an honor for anyone, but especially at his age. We had a wonderful dinner, a great speaker ---Rudy Mancke, and awards. We were THRILLED that Clay received a certificate for having received his "brotherhood" during 2007. We didn't think he would get one since he did his at Skyuka and then transferred to Muskogee. The very last certificate they gave out was for Clay and I think Ron and I just about jumped out of our seats! The group also held a silet auction. Clay won two patches that he bid on and Ron won a "legend" for the OA sash. He gave it to Clay at the end of the night as a "we're proud of you" gift. It was a fun evening and even though we got home very late, it was well worth it. BubbleShare: Share photos - Safe Toys e
