It's been an exciting time already!  I'm still getting used to the idea that I'm Queen.  It's different from anything else I've ever done.

We welcomed Pr. Pattie Goodrich into our Household last month; I hope she had an enjoyable time of the ceremonial and will enjoy her time in Temple.  She's been helping us with the circuses the past couple of years, and she's really been enjoying that.

Supreme Session is coming up fast.  I'm going with the following ladies: Elizabeth Hussey, PQ (Pr. Recorder); Pr. Ellen Fisher (Pr. Royal); and PQ Ellen Zirkle (Pr. Tirzah).  We're going to have fun in Tampa.  There's plenty of business to work on, and there will be two break-out sessions, as well as all of the performances in the evening.  If you haven't been to a Supreme Session before, I highly recommend it.  We always have fun.  I look forward to it.

I'm bringing back the Annual Nile Picnic.  We're set for July 16th at 4 PM at Pr. Ellen Fisher's house.  Please bring a dish to pass that will serve between eight and ten people and your own table service.  The temple will be providing hot dogs, bratwurst, and buns.  There will be iced tea, water, and coffee provided; if you want something else to drink, please bring it with you.  The pool will be open and Steve will be running trains.  If you have questions or need to get directions, please call Pr. Ellen at 989.777.3024.

The Supreme Queen's visit will be on August 10th (unless there's a change in the schedule).  The dinner will be at 5:30 PM with the Ceremonial following (if you are coming to just the Ceremonial, please be to the Temple by 7 PM).  We'll be having a rehearsal at 7:30 PM with the Unit practice beforehand.

We are still looking for some officers.  If you are able to serve as Pr. Chaplin, Pr. Badoura, Pr. Zenobia, or Princess Zora, please contact the Queen, Pr. Recorder, or Pr. Royal.

Sickness and Distress:

I would like to extend my thoughts and prayers to everyone who have been sick or in the hospital.  I hope everyone gets better soon.
