Lady Sharon Beard, National 1st Vice President, presented the National President with $2400 for her Endow-
ment donated by the Investing Team. The National President thanked everyone for their generous donations.

The closing ceremony was recited at 5:00 p.m., after which Lady Nichole Dodd sung “Open Up My Heart”
while Lady Dean passed on prayer and cloths. How fitting.

Additional kudos to:
• Ladies Kathy Wilson, Sheila Maddox and the fabulous TLOD Choir. Ladies, I am so proud of you.

Even without your leader, Lady Tillie Colter, you all sparkled like diamonds. Lady Nichole thank you for
the beautiful encore.
• Ladies Jackie Wilcher, Hope Ruffin, Kymeish Gaston, Valerie Watkins, Tangie Phair, Diann Robin-
son, Adrianne Mann and Mamie Hughes, thank you for doing your jobs with such professionalism and
class and keeping the conference running smoothly.
• The IT Team, Ladies Natasha Goode and Crystal Davis, for making sure that all technology needs were
met.
• Lady Crystal Davis for designing the workbook and printed programs.
• Lady Sandy Jennings for providing the name badges in honor of her mother.
• Lady Deadra Woods Stokes for taking time from her law practice to help TLOD move forward by provid-
ing legal expertise and advice.
• The Investing Team for taking your roles seriously and doing your jobs to perfection.

Ladies, after each Parliamen-Top, I have been told that each one was the best one. I was told the same about
this one. I will take that as a compliment. I am glad that you came, had a good time and learned a lot. I know
that many of you took advantage of the 5:00 closing on Saturday and hit the strip because I saw all of your Face-
book postings. But as they say, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! But please pass on all of the knowledge
that you learned with Energy! Enthusiasm! And Excitement! so that your chapter and others may continue to be
successful.

I love each and every one of you and there is nothing you can do about it! See you soon!

Lady Drema
