| Dedication: |
To all our Rebekah Assembly past presidents for their hard work, sacrifices and dedication to the Order. It is especially dedicated to past presidents; Jackie Schneiderwent, Joyce Thorpe and Sherri Robbins for their continued friendship and faith in me throughout the years. Without them, I would never have aspired to the office of president. Also to my family for their love and support. Especially to Mike, thank you for making it possible for me to devote this time to the Rebekah Assembly. You are the wind beneath my wings. |

| Flowers: |
All Flowers – In my Rebekah garden, flowers remind me of the lovely Rebekah & Odd Fellow friendships that continue to grow over the years. Some friendships are in bud and others in bloom, all color and shapes; each beautiful and necessary in it’s own way contributing to the overall beauty of the garden. |
