From Whitney Poma:
It is with regret that I announce we will not be funding a Supreme Ritualistic Competition Team for
Supreme Assembly 2012 due to lack of interest.
For those deputies who had girls signed up for tryouts on 12/10, please inform your girls that the tryouts
have been cancelled. My apologies for all of the back and forth as we tried to make this team happen.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
To all - please let your girls know that they will all have the possibility to compete in an individual
supreme ritualistic competition. Mom Morris will distribute the rules and information to the state as soon
as she receives it. We encourage our girls to compete as we know that Ohio has some of the best
ritualists in the country.

Another beautiful Grand Assembly! Congratulations to Erin and all of our 2010-11 Grand Officers for
doing such a wonderful and inspiring job! This year we were honored by a visitation from our Supreme
Worthy Advisor and the Supreme Deputy from Mississippi as well as many other visiting Grand Officers
and dignitaries.
The new year was started out with Holly's theme of "Make A Splash" portrayed in the closing march to
the song, "Under The Sea". Congratulations to all of the new 2011-12 Grand Officers. I am sure this
will be another "grand" year for all of you!
All of this year's theme and projects can be found on the Grand Worthy Advisors page.

The Supreme membership program with the Butterfly bracelet is now over. However there is a new

There is a new pin program in Ohio for bringing in new members. They are the Ohio Membership pins.
The program started on January 1, 2008 and will go for at least three years. The top line signer on a
petition will receive a paint brush pin beginning with red and going through the rainbow for each new
member that the girl brings in. After all seven paint brushes have been earned by bringing in seven new
members, the eighth petition will earn the palette pin, which will be awarded by Mom Morris at Grand
Assembly. Mother Advisors are to send in the pin form to submit girls names to Maribeth Metzler after
the new girl is initiated and Maribeth will mail to pin to the Assembly for presentation. And, yes, you can
earn more than one set of pins! Wouldn't that be wonderful! Go get'em Ohio Rainbow!
