It is usually a candlelight, but this year our President used flowers...same meaning. She passed out one to each member of the board and told them what they represented. For example...she gave one to our President for next year and told her that she represented our future. She gave one to our Ex-Officio and told her that she represents our past....we had kindness, friendship, service...you get the picture. Y'all it was so meaningful, I was tearing up (My friend, Becky, leaned over and asked if I was pregnant...ha!), and then they each passed on their rose to the new board...and then our Pres. gave her gavel up.
I also really loved when the sustaining members got awarded. All of their committees that they served on and things that they helped organize and volunteer with were listed. Then they got their necklace. I just enjoyed it so much!
After our last meeting of the 2009-2010 year. As we were eating at the Cultural Center, the oaks surrounding us were beautiful...spanish moss was blowing in the wind. And you could hear piano notes and tap shoes hitting the hardwood floors drifting down the stairs and into our meeting room from the lessons being given. I was actually home when I took this, but these are the memories that I associate with the picture!
It has been a joy to be a part of such a wonderful organization. That's enough of all the sentimental talk! I am EXCITED about GLEE returning tonight!!! I'm in my pj's and ready!
These two similar verses have been on my mind today.
But You, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts up my head.
Psalm 3:3
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:2
