Attention all Grand and Jurisdictional Line Officers: It has been decided to eliminate the breakfasts that used to be held with your Supreme Counterpart and instead have casual meetings with them following the Formal Opening on Wednesday evening. The locations of these meetings will be published in the Supreme Session booklet.

Attention Grand Bethel, Jurisdictional Bethel and Bethel Honored Queens and Princesses: Please remember to bring your regalia with you to Supreme Session in order to participate in the Formal Opening.

For those competing in the Supreme Session Ritual Competition, Kay Beix, PGG WI and 2008 Ritual Chair, has sent us the grading sheets that the judges will be using.  She has asked that they be posted so that all may know what criteria the judges will using for grading.  To view the grading sheets, Click Here.

Also, the Tours Flyer has been updated to include websites for many of the tour destinations.  To access the Tours Flyer, Click Here.

The Session Arrangements Committee has sent out a request for sign language interpreters.  As of yet, no one has been found who would be available for Supreme Session.  Interpreters are needed for 5 events: Formal Opening, the MIJD Pageant, the Supreme Bethel meeting, the Supreme Bethel Installation and the SGC Installation, so it is most probable that more than one interpreter will be needed.  If you or anyone you may know is qualified, please contact Beverly Rasmussen, Arrangements Chairman at 920-494-9447 (Phone number used with permission), or via email c/o jerilynfletcher@surfmk.com.  Please make sure the subject line includes "ASL Interpreter/Supreme Session."

MICHAEL FELDMAN TOUR UPDATE:  Michael's schedule for August is out and he is scheduled to broadcast from Door County on August 2, 2008. Therefore, the Michael Feldman Radio Show Tour is CANCELLED.

PLEASE NOTE: The Miss International Job's Daughter Luncheon scheduled for Tuesday, July 30, 2008, was listed as being open to all in the original Registration packet.  This was in error.  Luncheon for the Miss International pageant is for candidates, judges and committee only. In addition, the cost is included in the candidate registration fee. If any candidates, judges or committee have already paid for the luncheon, they will receive a refund.  The form has now been revised.
