President’s Corner

Christina Sallee, National President

I hope this newsletter find you practicing our famous hygge in front of a toasty fire, or however you prefer your hygge. December is here and I know that you are busy decorating, baking, shopping, and preparing for the Holidays but do take a moment to slowdown and be kind. In the words of Sophocles “Kindness gives birth to Kindness”, and who would not enjoy that?

I wish you all God Jul og et Godt Nytår (Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year).

It is hard to believe that another year is ending, and while 2022 saw us coming out of the grip of the pandemic, the past years have had a toll on the Sisterhood in the form of lower attendance and resignations, but everything is not gloomy. We see more of our lodges meeting again, not just for meetings but events as well. We have had a few District Conventions this year and we have also noticed an uptick in District Conventions being planned for 2023, so if your District is having a convention please consider attending and support your lodge and District. We will be posting the District Conventions as we become aware of them, so do check out our website under Conventions.

As you read in the November column, we have been busy planning for the 2023 National Convention and seeing to our regular duties on the Board. It is quite the undertaking and again we ask you to consider hosting the next National Convention in 2027.

I am happy to tell you that the financial review finally arrived from the accountant and will be posted in the January newsletter. We had some members reaching out as they were a bit anxious, so going forward we will provide the financials to you in a more consistent manner and post the summary from the accountant when it becomes available.

See you in 2023

Christina Sallee, National President
