Supreme Session 2008 - Interest Survey
Fellow 66ers....
I'm conducting an interest survey regarding Supreme Session 2008 in Madison, Wisconsin. We will be able to make hotel reservations for next year's session starting September 1st. I am happy to book a block of rooms based on approximate total interest from our group. If you are interested in attending next year and would like to be part of the room block, please let me know by August 31st by replying to this post or emailing me. I promise it will be fun!

Calling All Petitions! Prospective Member Event the 9th
Okay, now's the time to step up! We are hosting an initiation on September 24th, and we're going to need several things in order to make this happen.
1. We need PETITIONS! I spoke with Gwen and Gina today and am happy to report that we have petition #1 coming our way as soon as Gina returns from her summer break. I know that there are at least 4 more petitions out there. The sooner we get them in, the easier it is for us to get AG John to check with the Lodge and validate the petition. So please help your Associate Guardian and get them to him or me ASAP
2. We need OFFICERS! I have spoken with the adults from Bethels #10, #19, and #20 and they would like to bring other daughters to help fill in the empty chairs. But if you ladies would personally call your friends at those Bethels and invite them, I am sure they would be much more interested in coming to help out. If you talk to someone who would like to help, please check with Kaaren about which stations we still need assistance with. Kaaren and Keely are in charge of allocating stations.
3. We need to have an INVESTIGATIVE Party! I propose that we host a pool party at my house on the 9th of September (time TBD). Please invite any future members to come (and bring their petition, if they have not already) as well as any other interested friends that you have. I will have a special prize from Supreme Session for each daughter from our Bethel that signs a petition for an initiate joining on the 24th. The 9th will be the last day to turn in petitions because we need to vote on the petitions at our council meeting (the 9th) and at our regular meeting (the 10th) prior to the 24th.
Call or email with questions. See you on the 9th!
