What a glorious day we had a Camp St Christopher for our annual Fall Assembly and Installation of Officers. For those of you who were with us, a huge thank you. It was so wonderful to see smiling faces. For those not able to attend I want to bring you up to date on what transpired so that you may share with your Chapter members.
The day began with our annual business meeting. Treasurer Bonnie Knight presented the financial reports and the proposed budget which had been adopted by the Advisory Board.
Regional Meetings (calendar here) will be at Trinity Edisto Beach and St Paul's Conway.
Our delegates for the Kanuga Province IV meeting will be Brenda Albringer, Dawn Schaeperkoetter, Kester Heaton and Darla Wier.
Our Love Offering for the day was split between Camp St Christopher and Gateways of Grace (a missionary group serving refugees). If you have elected new officers, please submit Officer Form to both the Assembly and the National Office.
Please encourage those Daughters who are not current with their dues to bring themselves up to date.
We are still seeking suggestions for our Assembly Project. The project would be an active involvement in the organization for volunteer opportunities over and above monetary/material donations. Suggestions have included the Magdalene House in Summervile (a transition house for woman), the Florence Crittendon Home (home for unwed mothers) in Charleston, St Alban's Women's Ministry at The Citadel and the Charleston Hispanic Organization. A suggestion was made we consider more than one organization that would reflect the diverse areas of our Assembly. We welcome your suggestions and the Advisory Board will make a recommendation at the December Board meeting.
The day concluded with a very meaningful message from the Rev'd Bob Lawrence (Ex Directory of Camp St Christopher) at our Eucharist and Installation of Officers lead by the Very Rev'd Peet Dicksinson. We were blessed.
Thinking about Triennial - Baltimore, MD, June 29 - July 3. A wonderful experience and well worth the time. Check it out on the National Website doknational.org
We pray for you always and welcome your input.
