BIGGS, CA (MPG) - Beta Omega Master chapter members of Beta Sigma Phi welcomed five former members to their May meeting at the Victorian Rose. President Dell DeMeyer conducted the brief business meeting, lunch was served and reports were given of the recent California Beta Sigma Phi All State convention held in Burbank.

Vice-President Ada Christensen gave a delegate report on the Far Northern California Council April brunch held in Redding. Installation of officers was presented by Diane Wilkerson and congratulations went to DeMeyer, Christensen, Recording Secretary Ernie Chambers and Treasurer Bonnie Bayles-Stier. The chapter theme, "Pink Angels of Friendship," was announced using the flamingo as a chapter mascot. 

The chapter meets once a month for a business meeting from September through June and holds various social events throughout the year. 

Members rejoining are Louann Choate, Kathy Adams, Colleen Banes, Marci Banes and Diane Wilkerson. Also in attendance was Arlene Grein, Ruby Dickey Mena and Pam Coffin. 

The chapter has had a busy year, with a successful brunch last December at Gold Country Casino in Oroville and presenting philanthropic money to the state area projects of Cystic Fibrosis, Kidney Research Fund at Stanford, Scleroderma and the Lupus Foundation, as well as a Scholarship award to a Gridley High School student. 

 

Bayles-Stier held the traditional 94th Founder's Day celebration at her home in April with 17 current and former members attending the salad, tea, sandwich, dessert luncheon provided by the executive board members. 

 

Yellow roses were presented to the chapter members who helped organize and present the December brunch and the chapter Highlights was written and read by Ernie Chambers. 

 

Members will meet on June 9 at the home of DeMeyer to plan the coming year and enjoy a salad potluck luncheon.
