Supreme Assembly 2020 By (Mrs. Dean) Edie Rein, PSWP, special deputy
Dearest sisters, by now I am sure that you have heard that Supreme Assembly 2020 has been canceled due to the pandemic sweeping the world. Denver Assembly 1, Wichita Assembly 8, and Pueblo Assembly 11, along with the support of Melrose Assembly 204 were so excited to welcome you as we celebrate our one hundred years of faith, loyalty, and love, but the safety and well-being of our sisters is so much more important and long lasting than our week together. We hope that canceling our Supreme Assembly will ensure that we have many more years together with all of you.
I want to express my heartfelt thank you to the sisters of the hostess group for their years of hard work preparing for this celebration. You all shared your talents, your energy, your creativity, and your time without reservation. Your willingness to work together is recognized and greatly appreciated! It was a pleasure working with each and every one of you, and I treasure the renewed friendship. To the hostess group committee, it has been a joyful journey for all of us, and we thank you!
