Fellow Officers and Ladies of the Household,
I hope this message finds everyone well and enjoying their summer. Supreme Session held in Indianapolis, Indiana, was enjoyed by many of our members. I would like to thank all the Past Queens, Line Officers, Delegates, Egyptian Band Members, Patrol Members, and Ladies of the Household that attended with me. My special thanks go to my escorts from the Egyptian Band, our designated unit and banner bearers from the Patrol. Extra thanks for all my lovely gifts, thoughts, laughs, “experiences” (Egyptian Band), stories, and songs!
The week was full of laughs, great food, bonding with counterparts and line officers,
developing new relationships, discussion of new legislation, and wonderful unit
performances. Cathy Carol Rose was installed as Supreme Queen. She arrived for
installation carried by her bare-chested “slaves”, and with her Slave Girls keeping her cool using Isis Temple’s Slave Girl fans. Thank you Sandy Shafer and Gay Graper for mending our fans and making sure they made it to Supreme! Supreme Princess Royal , Karen Keuther from Buffalo, NY, Supreme Princess Tirzah, Shirley Henley from Cincinnati, OH, and Supreme Princess Badoura, Dale Obernolte from Fresno, CA were also installed. Supreme Princess Badoura, Dale will hold her Supreme Session in Reno, NV.
There were a total of 1008 voting delegates, including 1 Supreme Queen and 20 Past
Supreme Queens. The legislative discussions were productive and handled very well.
I was so humbled and honored to represent Isis Temple No. 41. I have heard how different it is to stand as Queen as our units are performing and I believe that wholeheartedly! I was moved to tears with pride and love for our beautiful group of ladies! We are so fortunate to have such dedicated units! The Egyptian Band looked stunning in their new uniforms - that blue just sparkled! Their music was on point! The Isis Patrol marched so professionally to one of my favorite songs! They also served by clearing chairs, escorting, and acting as Honor Guards. We missed seeing our Dancers & Pageantry, but are so thankful Sharon is recovering nicely! All Daughters of the Nile Temples contributed upwards of 3 million dollars to the Shriners Hospital for Children. Our Temple was recognized for initiating 10 new princesses last year. We were also honored for our contributions to the Daughters of the Nile Foundation. Isis Temple gave $28,141.59 to the Foundation last year. We were treated to a reception where we enjoyed sweet and salty treats, beverages, and time to sit and relax! We also received a plaque with our temple name and year in recognition for our donations. And, we had our picture taken with the Imperial Sir, Jerry Gantt. We are now a founding member of the Foundation Club, which includes temples giving $10,000+. I walked around the whole day with a lump in my throat, so full of love and gratitude for our ladies! Amazing job, JPQ Tina Dobbs! The plaque will be displayed in the display case at Hadi on the 2nd floor. I will also present it at our Stated Session in September.
Special congratulations to Past Supreme Queen Sue Layman on again being Appointed Chair of the Supreme Temple Finance Committee and a director on the Daughters of the Nile Foundation Board of Directors. We were also honored to have 6 Supreme Appointments: By-Laws of Subordinate Temples Committee - Margaret Coomer, PQ, Membership Committee and Public Relations - Nancy Markham, PQ, Supreme Goodwill
Ambassador to the Central Area - Kathy Widick, PQ, Supreme Temple American Flag Escort - Sharon Norvell, PQ, Supreme Escort to the Canadian Flag - Jean Rickard, PQ, Supreme Temple Banner Escort - Gay Graper, PQ.
