Native Daughters of the Golden West District 21 had a very
successful and enjoyable NDGW Home Tea held at the NDGW Adobe in San Juan
Bautista on September 22, 2013.
Supervising District Deputy Grand President Sharon M.
Johnston, PGP, the Deputy Grand Presidents, and all four Subordinate
Parlors – Santa Cruz No. 26, Aleli No. 102, Junipero No. 141, and San Juan
Bautista No. 179 – were represented and provided the cookies, sandwiches, and
funds for the raffle prizes. Baskets of organic apples were donated by
President Ann Hestand of Santa Cruz Parlor. Aleli Parlor member Laura
Lawrence won three raffle prizes, including the grand prize of $25.00 in dollar
coins.

Seventy-eight people attended with guests from many
different parts of our State. Grand Trustee Karen Fini spoke about the needs of
the Native Daughters Home in San Francisco, and opened the eyes of those
who did not realize how great the needs are. Painting, new drapes, replacement of window
framing, carpeting, and an exhaust fan for the kitchen stove are but some of
the major items needed at our Native Daughters Home.

Afternoon attire and hats were the fashion for the
afternoon, and the gentlemen in attendance were also very appropriately
attired. Grand President Sharon Logan, Jr. Past Grand President Linda Galassi,
Grand Vice President Suzi Riley, senior Grand Trustee Cynthia Connelly, Grand
Trustee Karen Fini, several members of the NDGW Home Committee, and Past Grand
Presidents Marilyn Rickett, Sylvia Lowrie, and Joan Hall assisted District 21
as we raised funds to assist with the maintenance of our Grand Lady on Baker
Street. Regrets were received from several Grand Officers and Past Grand
Presidents – all wishing us a successful day – and some including
donations for the Native Daughters Home. We raised nearly $1,700 toward
the drapery project.
Thank you to Sharon M. Johnston, PGP, for her contributions
to this article.
so the name of this group sounds really masonic, and that's pretty evil considering what masons have done to native people the world round

On the contrary...we are far from what you call 'evil.' Native Daughters of the Golden West is a service organization open to anyone, man or woman, born in California. We serve a variety of needs from veterans and the underprivileged and underserved in our communities to preserving the history and heritage of California. Please look over our main website at www.ndgw.org before you judge so harshly.
