The faithful and happy members of the Rebel Joan Of Arc 2721, United Daughters of the Confederacy, gathered together to celebrate their Chartering into the UDC on March 17, 2017! As all arrived at the Home of JIM and ANITA STEVENS, two handsome Southern gentlemen, RODNEY SHARER and JIM STEVENS were there to assist the ladies out of their cars for parking and carrying their special treats that they had prepared for sharing. All arrived with Crystal and Silver in hand, gifts for the Co-Hostesses: ANITA STEVENS and DARLA SHARER, and added surprises for the party. The Co-Hostesses were well prepared for everyone, inside and out, and the gardens were breathtaking!
Everything was beautiful in Full Spring Bloom, as was the glow of the members.
President JENNY LEHR Welcomed everyone, and especially Thanked the Charter Members, and the Hostesses. ANITA & DARLA prepared a Fun Game about: Do You Know Your Members, and that created lots of new surprises and laughs! Their door prizes and gifts were an added treat for this special occasion and it was obvious that much preparation had gone into every detail, down to champagne toasts! The RJOA traditional special prepared caked was gifted this year by ANITA STEVENS for the occasion! Everything couldn’t have been more Perfect!
It was HARD TO LEAVE!!
Thank You DARLA SHARER and ANITA STEVENS, for this lovely Celebration,
and ALL the RJOA Members who continue to make this marvelous Chapter shine in all it’s “Good Works”…
