Hey- We have a Rose Box, too! Instead of standing up and reading them, though, our sisterhood chair collects them all and types them every month, and everyone gets a copy. It's a great way to acknowledge a sister for doing something great. We also have a "Turtle Pass" every so often, usually at sisterhood retreats and after meetings. We sit in a circle, and the only person who can talk is the one who has the turtle. You are free to say what ever you want, as long as it isn't a personal attack. It lets us get stuff off of our chest.
I know this is getting long, but I think our sisterhood chair does a really terrific job and I want to acknowledge and share some of her ideas. When we line up and are waiting to go into a meeting, we sign a "Brag Board". Our sis. chair chooses a sister at random and decorates a peice of posterboard with her name on it, and everyone writes something nice about her on it, which she gets to keep!
