Outgoing officers, Jan (Recording Secretary) & Donna (Vice President) received lovely jewelry designed by a member.
Hokus-Pokus Ceremony. Since we are a fun-loving bunch of ladies, Jan Suppok decided to install the new officiers with a "Magican Show". Shown above is the "Great Jan-dinni" with her cape, top hat & magic wand! The words, "Hokus-Pokus look at the crocus" were said and the magic wand dubbed each newly elected officer as offically installed.
For the Treasurer, Jan pulled some "gifts" out of a green bag symbolizing the color or money. She received some gold coins to use in case she was ever short of funds or if the treasurer's report didn't balance. Also a bottle of extra strength Excedrin for any headaches associated with her job.
Corresponding Secretary, Tamara Johnson, received some satationery & pens to use while writing any correspondence concerning the club. These were tucked into a blue bag which represents the colored ink she will be using. Also some hand cream to use after typing the yearbook.
New Recording Secretary, Kim Schaab-Ozier was handed a red bag to remind her that whatever she records will be the "heart" of our club history for years to come. Inside her goody bad were some pencils with large erasers for taking minutes; a large comb for combing through past minutes to find any needed information & a large pair of glasses for deciphering her note taking.
For the new Vice President, Cheryl Zindars, Jan had a white bag to represent the loyalty & support she will give to our President. She was given a bag of "lifesaver candies" since she may be called on to be a lifesaver for the President in assisting her or relieving her of some of her duties & lightening her burden. Also, she received several small balls for "juggling" her other duties of overseeing all committees.
Jennifer Kassem, our Club President was presented with a gold bag-symbolizing loyalty & authority. It also represents the reins of Leadership. She was give a toy telephone and a toy computer for keeping in touch with the membership. A toy plastic mallet was handed to her to shake or pound for silence when members get out of hand at meetings.
Congratulations & good luck to our new officers for the 2011-2012 club year!
The Great "Jan-dinni" ended the show by pulling a small stuffed rabbit out of her hat to remind the members to recruit friends to join our club so our membership can multiply like rabbits.
