Alice and her looking glass took a trip down the streets of Hanover NH waving
and smiling at cheerful little faces watching the Shrine Parade. Joined with a
group from Milford Demolay, some of the Mad Hatters and Fantabulous Flamingoes
decorated a float and tossed candies to the onlookers. It was a beautiful day
for a parade and Football Game, and everyone had loads of fun.
Tracey and her Mad Hatters traveled to the Green Mountains for their Grand
Assembly in Randolph Vt. The Stars were out even during the day as the Vermont
Grand Officers reached for the Stars. Our own Shaunalynn Duffy, Grand Representative
to Vermont, brought NH greetings to all, and Tracey renamed Becky GWA in
Vt "Iris" - as there are far too little Irises in Rainbow. The annual
Talent competition was crazy mad fun as always! Three cheers for Vermont's
newest assembly- Crystal #22 for an awesome performance.
The Mad Hatters were chasing white bunnies on Thursday night as they showed up
in support of the Order of Eastern Star Grand Chapter- with 14 officers as well
as our State Mom and State Dad. But the white bunnies were of course the mascot
of the Worthy Grand Matron Cynthia J Salisbury. Tracey GWA brought greetings
from NH Rainbow and recited her poem "the Day the Nation Changed".
Beth McFadden GWAA assisted Tracey with the Rainbow Flag Tribute. Our own
Daddy Bart was installed as Grand Sentinel on Saturday evening
The Rabbit hole was a bit busier than expected when the Grandies all showed up at Hayley Holmes house for a fun cookout and campout. Many had a great time swimming - playing cards - and just chillin'. It even seemed that the Jabberwaulkie was going to make an appearance- but it might have been an adult advisor giving the Mad Hatters a scare.
