JULY 2025 BUCKEYE BREEZE
 Hello Sisters,
 
What a great day and evening we had at State Convention on Friday. Thanks to Denise Brooks for writing such a great skit to introduce my theme. Loved walking into an Irish Jig with a beautiful bouquet of flowers that were given to me by the Lakeshore/Geneva sisters!
 
Friday night couldn’t have gone better. My whole family was there to see me get installed including my beautiful little granddaughter Kenzi. Many thanks to my escort team, Pat Bowe, Kelly Beech and Cathy Manning, all sisters from Geauga Auxiliary #2261. The installing team was Patricia Rawlins as President, Harriet Luke as Secretary, Stacey Mack as Conductor and Lenny Zuchegno as Chaplain. Great to see so many brothers and sisters come out to see Ralph Freas and myself get installed.
 
I am so proud to be serving as your State Auxiliary President and we will have a great year.
 
My Mother of the Year is Bonnie Fierst, a sister from Geauga Auxiliary #2261 who is a very dear friend of mine. my Father of the Year is Dave Williams, who was unable to attend due to medical appointments, my Grandmother of the Year is Michele Stover who has helped me so much getting ready for my year and is also my Membership Chairman, my Grandfather of the Year is my husband Stan Kovalak, the love of my life and my husband for 50 years.
 
A special thank you to all the sisters that took charities, state appointments, district leaders and zone coordinators.
 
On June 21st I traveled to Wapakoneta that had a fundraiser for Dave Williams to help defray some of his medical cases, please keep him in your prayers. With so many brothers and sisters there to help, we were able to raise over $18,000.00! Dave was over the moon when I presented him as the Father of the Year.
 
On June 28th I traveled to Troy for their annual picnic. They had 50/50’s, raffles, music and great food. Nice to see Ralph and Erica there also. Later that day we went to visit the Covington Eagles. Really beautiful club.
 
I will be heading to the National Convention on July 5th . So honored to be carrying in the Ohio flag! Hope to see some of you there.
 
Until next month, May Your Day Be Touched By a Bit of Irish Luck!
 
Your Leprechaun
State Auxiliary President
