Those will be the Bethels that will be served first. While we will have a few extra pizzas, it is very possible that we will not have enough for everyone from the Bethels that did not respond. (The original e-mail went out on June 6, and the original deadline was this past Monday, and then was extended to yesterday. Plus there has been a flyer posted on the Special Events Page since June 6) Our order will be going in sometime after 4:00 p.m. today (not much after as I am going to see Chicago and the Doobie Brothers this evening). The pizza parlor asked us to make this order early so that they might have enough time to order the extra supplies necessary to fill our order without too much of an effect on their regular business. I will take any additional orders up until 4:00 today. Even if your order is zero, please let me know that as well as it would really help in the planning. My e-mail address is ashleypagg@aol.com. Thank you for your participation.

Hello everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the nice summer weather. Grand Session is approaching quickly, and we would love to have all of the Bethels contribute to this issue of the Gab. Please take a few minutes to write some quick words about your Bethel. Since it is Installation time, almost all of the Bethels will be busy with their own, however, instead of reading about 20 Installations, I thought it would be neat if each Bethel shared a fun fact about the Bethel itself and/or the members, and some fun activities as well as some community service work the girls have done. Please help to make this an exciting issue of the Grand Bethel Gab. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact me at jwallace4215@hotmail.com. The deadline for submissions is Friday, June 20th. Thanks!

Contact her for more tickets as well. Again, thanks to all the Bethels who donated to the basket...there are lots of goodies in it. And thanks to our folks who sold their tickets and mostly to those who bought. Momma Donna Posted Monday, 6/9/2008 (3:55 p.m.): This note comes from mom Sandy Flanery, BG #33, regarding Tabi Teten, who broke her ankle: Good afternoon! I received a phone call from Tabi Teten's Mom (Pam) and her Aunt Donna (Crabtree) yesterday to say that Tabi had broke her ankle on Saturday while playing in the park. She was excited to let her Aunt Donna know that her cast is purple (for Jobies). Tabi was worried that she would have to miss practice on Wednesday and Installation on Friday because she can't stand on her crutches for very long as her foot starts to swell. They were gonna look for a wheel-chair. I said, "No way, would she have to miss the practice and the Installation." We have a wheel-chair for her to use on Wednesday and on Friday so she will be able to be a part of the the installation and be installed into her new station. If you get a chance...and would like to... drop a card or note to Tabi with wishes of a speedy recovery. Please contact me for her address. She goes to the Orthopedic doctor today so we'll have more news about her recovery on Wednesday at practice. Be safe this summer!
