Sharon Klang’s
Honor Night
…..November 9th
Did you think you’d suddenly
arrived in Colorado and that you were in State History class?
We all learned quite a bit about
Colorado – and we had a great time
doing it! We also learned a thing or two about Sister Sharon!
But more importantly, we had
a wonderful evening honoring our
Sister, Sharon Klang, the Grand Representative of Colorado.
The room was full and smiles were
plentiful throughout the evening. All who were introduced were given a question
concerning Colorado state facts.
We learned that the word Colorado
means ‘colored red’ in Spanish. We
learned that the state fossil is the Stegosaurus and the state grass is Blue
Grama Grass.
We now know that Colorado has 64
counties, the cheeseburger was invented in Denver by Louis Ballast, that Colfax
Avenue in Denver is the longest continuous street in America and that the 13th
step of the State Capital is exactly one mile above sea level.
We also learned that the capital
is made with “Beulah red” marble and Colorado Onyx. The capital contains
the entire supply of both stones. If
any portion of the building is destroyed which contains these stones, they
cannot be replaced. The supply was
exhausted in building the capital.
Responses were given by PGP John
Grobler on behalf of the Past Grand Patrons, PGM Alexandra Schenking on behalf
of General Grand; PGM Beverly Haave on behalf of the Past Grand Matrons; Al
Butterfield on behalf of the elected & appointed grand officers; and Pat
Schaefer on behalf of the Grand Representatives. Sister Sharon gave an entertaining history of her time in Eastern
Star.
Also present were brother Wayne
and their daughter.
Congratulations to the Klang
family on the addition of a new grandbaby born in November.
Sharon, thank you for a wonderful
and entertaining evening. Thank you for
all you do on behalf of Nesika Chapter and most of all thank you for honoring
Nesika Chapter as Grand Representative these past few years.
