The New Hampshire Mad Hatters ( The NH Grand Officers ) put on quite a show for Grand Officers day, 2002. They rehearsed entering and exiting marches, practiced their ritual to perfection, and then strutted their stuff in front of a packed house.
After opening, and a warm hello to all, The Mad Hatters and guests were served a great meal prepared and served by the Pink Flamingos ( the NH Grand Representatives). PGWA and head of the Flamingos Marsha Hotchkiss (she's the one with the Flamingo on her head) were presented gifts by GWA Tracey Smith to remind them of the occasion.
During the initiation ceremonies, the sidelines were again filled with the Grand Reps, Rainbow Girls from across the state, and the Officers of the Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star in New Hampshire also showed up for support.
TO say that the girls did a fantastic job would be an understatement, and the adults in New Hampshire were extremely impressed with the poise, dignity, and attention to detail that the New Hampshire Rainbow Girls put into their efforts.
