Hello, Sisters!
Welcome to rainy April with spring flowers starting to bloom! Hopefully, you weren’t taken in by anyone playing April Fool’s Day tricks!!
Visit your local library during National Library Week April 6-12 and thank your Librarians. Learn some new words while playing a game of Scrabble on April 13. Research your family history during National Ellis Island Family History Day, April 17. April is National Poetry Month! Not only that, but this year on April 18 is National Poem in Your Pocket Day. Select a poem, print or write a poem, and carry copies in your pocket to share with others on that day. It’s also National Columnists’ Day. What’s your favorite column to read in your daily newspaper? World Book and Copyright Day is a celebration to promote the enjoyment of books and reading. Each year on April 23, celebrations take place all over the world to recognize the scope of books - a link between the past and the future, a bridge between generations across cultures. April 23 is a symbolic date in world literature. It is the date on which several prominent authors, William Shakespeare being one of them, died. This date was a natural choice to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors, encouraging everyone to stand up for creativity, diversity and equal access to knowledge. Books, in all their forms, allow us to learn and to keep ourselves informed. They also entertain us and help us to understand the world. Support your favorite Independent Bookstore on the last Saturday of the month, April 26. Time to tell a story on April 27.
I want to thank each one of you for volunteering your talents and time for our great organization. April 20 is National Volunteer Recognition Day and a great time to give your volunteers the honor they deserve. April 20-26 also recognizes Administrative Professionals. I’d like to thank our Madam State Secretary Stacey Mack for her dedication keeping Ohio State Auxiliary in line on all ceremonial, administrative and financial matters and helping our local auxiliaries do the same. Our Madam State Treasurer Barb Horrall also keeps our books in balance and wears out her hand writing all those checks! THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALL!!!
On March 15, Worthy President Walt and I attended Wapakoneta 691 Aerie and Auxiliary’s Anniversary and Hall of Fame Banquet. Congratulations go out to the Hall of Fame Awardees; it takes members like you to keep our aeries and auxiliaries going. A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to the Aerie for 121 years and Auxiliary for 85 years providing dedicated support to your aerie, auxiliary and local community! Wapok Sisters and Brothers did a wonderful job with the program, food, and entertainment. It was a joy to see
the younger family members and their friends out on the dance floor! Gretel (State Mother) and our Bookworm Zora Griffith along with everyone else had a terrific time! Thank you, Wapakoneta Aerie and Auxiliary, for the lovely evening, charity donations, and as a safe haven to wait out the storm and till power was restored at our hotel!!
Zone Conferences are this month!! Please encourage all members to attend and bring along a new Sister so she can learn what goes on for District, State and National. You can renew old friendships; you both can create new ones; learn how to gain and keep members; and hear how other aeries and auxiliaries raise funds for charities, operating and maintenance expenses, and aerie, auxiliary, or club activities. There is always something new to learn!! You’ll never know what you’re missing or understanding what we’re really about unless you take an interest in promoting our great Sisterhood and Eagledom!
Happy Easter! Keep A Poem in Your Pocket, by Beatrice de Regniers
Your Storyteller, Keep a poem in your pocket The little poem will sing to you
Kathy Jennings And a picture in your head The little poem will bring to you
Madam State President And you’ll never feel lonely A dozen dreams to dance to you
At night when you’re in bed. At night when you’re in bed.
