Meeting Notes

Visiting Sunrise Girls Home
Liz visited the Desoto Sunrise Girls Home tonight after the meeting – It’s very important that we keep our purpose strong – The Children! It’s very important that we visit the Girls home every Tuesday!! That is the only day of the week that we can visit. If you have not already done so, please, please get your paper work in to Desoto Sunrise or take them by Tiz Ann’s.

Management of Revenue
Lisa has started the ledgers and shared them with Linda.

Harvest Festival
This event was a huge success! Just go to our web site and check it out!! Linda Feathers made a phenomenal presentation of a check for $1,600 (from the Poker Run) for the Sunrise Home. Girls – you just gotta get those dresses made – It was too much fun!!

Fire & Police Department Event – This Thursday-Friday & Saturday
Linda Feathers is coordinating this event. She will send out an email of the dates and times. All Queens need to attend – those with dresses and those without can put on a crown and come on down!

Christmas Parade
Will be December 6th – Robin will pickup the application tomorrow for entry.
Committee for the Christmas parade and float are:
Chairperson-Donna Turner
Committee Members: KT, Celia and Diane
Volunteers to help with the float will be needed. Liz – do you still have access to a flatbed trailer?

Three Events on December 6th
Dec 6th is the Christmas Parade, the Lebonheur Toy Run and Desoto Sunrise Poker Run. (The last stop is at Tiz Ann’s). We will need to coordinate how many queens we will have and how we can distribute some to each event. This will be discussed further at the next meeting

St. Patrick's Day in Jackson, Mississippi – No discussion
We need to start getting our plans & committees together – Resume at next meeting.

Thank You Notes
Thank you notes/letters of appreciation for those who donated prizes for the Poker Run are needed. It was suggested we make a group picture on December 6th. The picture can be printed on Christmas cards and we can send our thank-you in the Christmas cards.
Gala at the Pink Palace
November 21st - Fund raiser for Lebonheur and they will have silent auctions, etc… Malisa is going to check to see if she can get a couple of Queens invited to attend. Please contact Malisa if you are interested.

Cape and Purses
Chelle brought the prototype of a beautiful satin green with pink lining cape. It was glorious! She used Butterick Pattern #3185.

Chelle said there is some green sequin material left over and brought a few purse patterns to consider. We decided to make them as simple as possible. I wonder if we can line them in the pink satin?

Our Website
Everyone was complimenting Chelle on the fantastic job she did on our website!! It is just amazing and an exceptional work of art. Thank you Chelle! We appreciate you very, very much!

Stepping Stones
Liz has a stepping-stone with the red head queen logo. If anyone is interested – they are $34.99 each See Liz.
