    Presidents Message

    November has been a busy month for Iota Chapter members. Our November speaker,
    Debbie Pearcy from Knoxville Tours, ignited in us the desire to take to the road to visit faraway
    places. The Thanksgiving meal, served up by Food City, was splendid. Most importantly, we
    took pride is choosing Brenda Moriarty as our 2017 Order of the Rose nominee! Thank you,
    Brenda, for your many years of leadership and service to Iota Chapter. Thanks to everyone who
    brought items for the Alpha Iota silent auction basket and for the two huge boxes of personal
    items that were donated to Safe House. May they bring some small comfort to women
    experiencing domestic violence.
    On November 19, a delegation of nine Iota members traveled to Rogersville for the Area
    I Christmas Brunch. Members attending were Val Manley, Martha Steadman, Joy Branham,
    Tarah Guinn, Becky Sutton, Georgia Davis, Joan Holt, Betty White, and yours truly. It was a
    delight to hear our State President, Dr. Dorrie Powell, speak of all the things DKG had given her
    to be thankful for. Our own Joy Branham, Area I Director, spoke of her enriching visits with
    area chapters and the many friends she had made along the way. George Webb, Hawkins County
    Historian, entertained us with historical curiosities. We were even invited to tour the historic
    Hale Springs Inn following the meeting. As I looked out a window at the very balcony from
    which President Andrew Jackson spoke to the people, I was reminded of the rich history
    surrounding us in East Tennessee. Thank you, Alpha Iota Chapter, for hosting this superb
    event!
    Now that we hold fond memories of our Thanksgiving gatherings with family and
    friends, we look ahead to the Christmas season. This certainly would include our long awaited
    and much anticipated December 8th meeting at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. We will
    gather briefly in the Meeting Room for welcoming and introductions. At 5:30 p.m., Mr. Nathan
    K. Lively will present an organ concert of traditional Christmas music and perhaps give us
    some history of the beautiful pipe organ at the church. Special thanks to Belinda Castille for
    helping to coordinate this wonderful event. Following the concert, we will have dinner in the
    Meeting Room. The meal will be catered by Food City and consist of salad, spiral sliced ham,
    baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon sugar, broccoli casserole, country fruit cobbler with vanilla

    ice cream, rolls, tea and water. The meal cost will be $16.
    You dont want to miss this very special meeting as we gather just before Christmas!
    Hostess Group 3 will be in charge of the inspiration and table decorations. The business session
    will be brief. Remember to bring new hard-backed childrens books that will be donated to
    Girls, Inc. Each girl received two new books last year, so we want to keep that goal in mind.
    Dont forget to call or email your Hostess Group Chair right away with your meal
    reservation.
    In closing, Norman Vincent Peale wrote, Christmas waves a magic wand over this
    world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
    Merry Christmas!
