Installation of Officers

Installation of officers was held Saturday, March 31, 2001.  The evening was opened by PP Chuck Kent and PM Tess Kent as WP Jerry Randolph & WM Laura Randolph were unable to attend due to other obligations.

 

There were approximately 80 people in attendance for the evening’s events. 

 

The officers for 2000-2001 took their offices. After introductions were concluded, Al Butterfield, Grand Treasurer was introduced as the Installing Grand Officer for the evening.  He then introduced those assisting him with the installation:  Jennie Davis, Installing Grand Marshal; Valerie  Harvey, Installing Grand Secretary; Carolyn Anderson, Installing Grand Organist; and Vicki Little, Installing Grand Chaplain.

 

The officers for 2000-2001 retired and a musical interlude was presented by Carolyn Anderson.

 

The entrance of the 2001-2002 officers was announced and they marched in  to “Wild Thing” the incoming Worthy Patron’s song. The officers were attired in black skirts and white blouses with vests of purple, blue and black.

 

The officers installed were: Tess Kent, Worthy Matron; Chuck Kent, Worthy Patron; Carol Vaughan, Associate Matron; Don Beck, Associate Patron; Eunice Butterfield, Secretary; Sharon Klang, Treasurer; Barbara Moore, Conductress; Vicki Little, Assoc. Conductress; Heather Farrish, Marshal; Amanda Holler, Adah; Nicole Turner, Ruth; Christie Wild, Esther; LaVerne Barnett, Martha; Daisy Ward, Warder; and Mary Calhoun, Sentinel.

 

The Worthy Matron then gave her address for the evening which focused on the opportunities we have to make our Chapter grow with the  changes in membership requirements.  She also spoke of beginnings and endings and what that meant when there was a change of officers.  She thanked those who have served as officers for so many, many years and for what they’ve taught her. 

 

The Worthy Patron then addressed the chapter and spoke about how things get done and how we can’t always just do things the ‘way we’ve always done them’ by using a story about apes (wild things).

 

The Worthy Matron then ‘installed’ the new kitchen crew Gary Wild as the Kitchen King and Dixie Wild as his support staff. They were admonished as to the seriousness of their duties and invested with the ‘jewels’ of their offices – an apron and spoon respectively. 

 

The announcement of the tribunal and audit committees were made; introduction of the family of the WM & WP; Worthy Matrons & Patrons for 2001-2002; and then installation was closed. The Worthy Matron’s song was played while the Bible was signed by Chuck & Tess.

 

There was a spaghetti dinner and dance after the installation. The dinner was cooked and served by Gary & Dixie Wild with the help of Chris Williams, Christie Wild, Steve & Vicki Little, Ben Wheeler, Chris Norlund, Marcia & Don Beck, Tina Walters and a host of other very kind and helpful friends.

 

Amanda Holler was the dj for the dance. The decorating for the installation and dance was done by Vicki Little, Christi Wild, Amanda Holler and Tess Kent.

 

 

During the next year we will be raising funds for the chapter through the following events:

 

Smokey Point Reststop: This is set for November 2-5. It begins on November 2  at 2 pm and goes through November 5^th at 1 pm at the northbound rest stop at Smokey Point.  We will be needing a chairman as well as people to work the booth during that time.  Please  call Tess if you want to volunteer to chair this event, work the booth, or to donate cookies or other items we will be needing at the booth.

 

King County Line Officer Instruction: This is still in the planning stage; stay tuned as I know more.

 

Husky/Seahawk Games: Any person who is over 16 (and all of us are) and has a food handlers permit may work these games.  The hours vary from game to game.  Please contact Chuck if you’re interested in raising money for the chapter by working these games.  Last year, the chapter received about $500 from Tess & Chuck donating 1/3 of what they earned to the chapter.
