Hootie:
My chapter used to end active meetings with the Sisterhood book that would be passed from sister to sister and one would write something personal about that person. Well we also had a stuffed owl named HOOTIE. Hootie was also passed from sister to sister but was more for silly reasons or when someone was having a stressful time.
A funny story about Hootie (that I posted in the original thread like this) was that one time a sister took him home with her for the week (like you did when he was passed along). Well she said he was looking rather shabby and thought he needed a bath. So she threw him in the wash machine and dryer. The next time we met for active meeting she stood up to announce who she was going to pass him onto and almost busted up laughing...she took HOOTIE out of a sack and he had a FRO from being tumbled dry! So Hootie was a very special part of my chapter...fro and all!
