The Madam Prez sez…
As my year now comes to an end, I would like to welcome in our new president
Leona Huggard and wish her all the luck for a good and prosperous year.
Legends have often told of spiritual journeys in which the hero must face great
challenges before gaining treasures at the journey’s end. As heroes of our own
stories we have also embarked upon a spiritual journey. With the help & support
of our friends we explore our hidden motives, secrets, buried memories, and
unrecognized talents. As we draw upon the strength of our true friends we learn
to overcome obstacles to personal growth. We are guided on this journey by God
in each step we take, but each step must be our own. Only by facing the darkness
can we receive the treasure, the light, and joy of emerging released from all
that has held us back. I have faced my fears and am a hero in my own journey.
Thank you to all my sisters for all your help, support, comfort, and love. And
also thank you to all those that tested me throughout my journey because you
have made me stronger and wiser.
Stephanie Manick
Past Madam President
