Queen turns 106 years young

Our April 2013 Newsletter has been sent to all members today. If it's not in your inbox, please check your junk mail folder. Read about the history of Victorian "Calling Cards" and an update on our National Convention in Calgary and a "thank you" letter from Queen Dorothy as well as lots of other information for our members.

Last month was an exciting time as some of us in British Columbia helped celebrate with HRH Queen Dorothy as she celebrated her 106th birthday - several times. First was a celebration with her family, which was televised by Global TV, then a luncheon with friends at her home, including myself and our B.C. Rep Sue. A few days later Queen Dorothy attended the luncheon of the Okanagan Valley Region Royal Court, attended by Queens and Vice Queens from chapters in the area.

HRH Queen Dorothy - Cutting her cake.

One of the most elegant, gracious, kindest ladies I've had the pleasure of knowing!

This month I am joining our Alberta Director and Provincial Representative to attend and speak at the Alberta Convention in Camrose. Shortly after that I am off with the British Columbia Provincial Director and Representative on a tour of the island chapters and a luncheon with the Lower Mainland chapters and a special party with our chapter in Sechelt. 

So much fun when you're a Crown Jewel but the highlight of the year will be when we all gather together in Calgary for our 4th Annual National Convention! Look forward to seeing you all there and to meeting our newest members.
