MAY 2025 BUCKEYE BREEZE
Hello, Sisters!
 
Where did the year go? Here it is May, elections are upon us, and State Convention is just around the corner. Fulfill your duty by voting for the best candidate to serve your Auxiliary Sisters and Aerie.
 
State RESCARE Chairman Betsy Sherrick, Central Zone Chairman Melissa Birman, and I visited the Barnesville Residential Home on April 5. We really enjoyed ourselves as we were able to have more one on one conversations with the staff and residents. One resident was so proud to show us his room and really didn’t want us to leave. They received a new resident within the past couple of months. She came only with the clothes she was wearing. The funds we donated to these homes used part of that money to purchase clothing and other personal items for her. Betsy gave the residents puzzle books and other books for them to enjoy. The staff and residents thanked us for all the support we have provided over the years.
 
Zone Conferences finished up this past weekend. I hope you all had a great time socializing with friends, new and old, and informative meetings. I know I did! I attended the Southwest Zone, Southeast Zone and Central Zone Conferences with all three doing a great job from the decorations, food, Tea, friendship and hospitality shown. State Officers, Zone Coordinators, Ritual Teams, and the local Auxiliary officers did excellent jobs in their respective areas. I was very impressed with the speeches given by the
District Leaders, Charity Chairmen, and State Officers. Did you all get a perfect score on the Questions? Past Madam Presidents and State Officers provided the correct answers and answered additional questions from the members. I truly hope that each of you learned something new.
 
On April 23, Worthy President Walt and I attended Medina 2224 Auxiliary’s Anniversary. A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to the Medina Auxiliary for 85 years providing dedicated support to your aerie, auxiliary and local community! Others attending included PSP Harriet Luke and State Madam 3rd Vice President Agnes Smith.
 
It would be a pleasure to see many of our Sisters and Brothers attending the State Finals for God, Flag, and Country Oratorical Competition on May 3, 12:00 Noon, and showing the contestants how proud of them we are. And, later that same day, the Joint Testimonial starts with Hospitality Hour at 5:00 and Dinner at 6:00. Both activities are at Canton McKinley Aerie 2370.
Let’s show our Grand Madam Mary Gutierrez our love and support by attending your Zone’s scheduled visits. Zone visits are scheduled to be made May 8 through May 14.
 
As we celebrate Mother’s Day this year, let us reflect on just how special our mothers are. Mothers give us their unconditional love along with protecting, sacrificing, mentoring, forgiving, sharing, etc. I lost my mom 17 years ago this month and there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of her. For those of you who are fortunate enough to still have yours, give her a big hug or a phone call and make it an extra special Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is a proud milestone for the F.O.E. which was started by PGWP Frank Hering on February 7, 1904, with a public plea to recognize mothers everywhere. A decade later, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation making it a reality. May 10, 1914, was the first official Mother’s Day.
 
Please show your support to your local community’s Memorial Day events honoring the men and women who gave their life for our country while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
