What a fabulous day! Today we dedicated our America 250 tree at Exploration Place. And we took part in the dedications of the Martha Loving Ferrell and Mary Draper Chapter trees. Following the dedication we spread out and handed out flags to the many, many children enjoying the playscape.

I loved helping a very little boy to understand why we have a flag day and why the flag shouldn’t touch the ground, and this was an excellent reminder of what it’s all about! Helping kids to understand our shared history. Putting down roots and trusting trees and people to grow and shelter the young people in our country. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We had a fabulous, jam-packed meeting this month! We enjoyed a wonderful presentation by KSDAR’s America250 head cheerleader Patti Unruh. She really has us motivated to get the party started!🎉🎉🎉

Next we all were able to join in and honor veteran David Hayden, husband of our member Marla Hayden, with a moving Quilt of Valor presentation. He was presented with a beautiful quilt pieced by member Karen Warner and the binding was attached by Dana Jerovic. Denise Fleming assists in Quilt of Valor presentations, so the entire presentation felt personal. I think David was very touched by the ceremony.

We also slipped in a Laugh ‘n Learn protocol quiz in preparation for our upcoming State Conference and a visit from the State Regent.

Today members from the Randolph Loving, Mary Draper, Little Arkansas and Newton chapters enjoyed a fabulous tour of the McConnell AFB in Wichita! We were given an excellent overview of the focus and missions of the base, we got a close up look at one of the latest fueling planes, and watched a dramatic demonstration of one of the trained dogs. Many thanks to Cathy Furnish for organizing the visit for us! It was a great experience on a beautiful Kansas day!

This month the Randolph Loving Chapter shared a project with our members who don’t live close enough to attend meetings. We mailed out flyers and a red bracelet to each one inviting them to join in as we wear red and Remember Everyone Deployed. We’ve had some great notes of thanks for including them!

Our chapter had a wonderful program honoring our Good Citizen Awards recipients! It’s always so inspiring to hear from these amazing young people who have already accomplished so much! A fun thing occurred later when our member Peggy Church pulled out the Good Citizen certificate that she received back in the 1960’s! Peggy then offered a great protocol game to prepare us for the upcoming state regent’s visit!

Tonight the Kansas State JAC Chair, Ange Reilly, presented certificates to the scouts who created a JAC poster for the chapter! We are SO proud of those girls!

The Randolph Loving Chapter had a great meeting on Friday! We learned about a wonderful program for volunteers called ‘RSVP’ organized with the Central Plains Area Agency on Aging. They match volunteers aged 55+ with local opportunities. And Ellen Verlanic inspired us all to wear red for Remember Everyone Deployed Friday. Don’t we look great?
