Melody enrolled in the workshop on creating and maintaining a local chapter website.
Food at the Celebration Luncheon is always so beautiful and so delicious. . .
. . . topped only by the gorgeous birthday dessert.
The centerpieces were comprised of materials for educators, new to the profession. We took enough materials to create the centerpieces and then some. Three people at each table got to take them back to a new educator in her community.
Melody has enjoyed singing in the state chorus the past couple of years. This is before the final rehearsal.
The chorus is singing at the Saturday night banquet.
Phyllis, Barbara, and Melody enjoyed the Saturday night banquet. Barbara participated in the procession as our chapter president and received a red rose.
At the Celebration of Life Service on Sunday morning, candles were lit for those members we lost in the past year. Barbara lit one for Lois Crummie.
At the Sunday morning breakfast, the chorus split up to lead the blessing, sung by all in a round - twice (it was so beautiful).
At the Sunday morning assembly, the scholarships and enrichment grants were presented. Three of our members were worthy recipients. Phyllis put her grant toward a trip to Hawaii with her family.
Terry is applying her grant to her river cruise in Portugal.
And Barbara is spending hers on her cross-country road trip in her RV.
The Alpha Alpha State Convention was so good this year. Join us in 2014 at The Nittany Lion Inn!
