I just went to convention in St. Charles Missouri. Since I didn't pay to go, I just helped our chapter at our Ways and Means table. We sold handmade jewelry, BSP key chains, and Mizpah plaques I wood burned. We also had a 50/50 drawing. All in all, we MADE $60, but time and money spent on the project was alot more.
Most chapters had drawings for baskets, wine sets, and one had a "4 seasons dinner set".
I bought a yellow and black lunch tote and a chapter from Texas sold CUTE badge holders for $5 so I HAD to get one. Although my chapter has all matching badge holders, maybe I can convince them to change.
The most exciting thing will be on Tuesday, Oct 23, 07.....my ritual of Jewels! I got a pin on Ebay of a pin for Harrasburg chapter dated 1933. I got permission to wear it!
When I get the chance, I'll post pictures, but right now its almost 7 in the morning and the suns not even up yet.
