| Theme: |
Dream It, Believe It, Achieve It
|
| Aim: |
To accomplish greatness for our Order, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan; but also believe. We must believe that we can achieve, that we can accept the challenge to change what is needed and to love each other while doing so. |
| Emblem: |
The Apple
The Apple represents where we were and where we want to go. Our Order should strive to last as long as the apple, and we will, but we must remember to "Think Different' to enhance the best of "something old and something new". |
| Colors: |
Fuchsia, Black & Silver
Flowers are the smiles of nature and as such their beautiful colors bring us joy and happiness. I love the mixture of colors in the vibrant fuchsia. Fuchsia is an exotic blend of the purple red of the fuchsia plant, the red of the apple, and the purple blue of the heavens. It symbolizes love. Black is known for its elegance and style in the fashion industry and has historically been the color worn by royal families. But, my reason for black is much more mundane. I learned early as an elementary teacher that covering those bulletin boards in black saved time as you only had to change the articles on the board. The Art world claims black finishes a product and makes it pop. We are going to pop! To enhance the beautiful fuchsia and the elegant black we will add a touch of glittering silver to complete our colors of love. |
| Flower: |
Flowers are our gift from God. The fuchsia plant is an eternal reminder that God smiles when he gifts us with flowers. God wanted us to be reminded that from beautiful flowers comes the rewards of fruits for our beautiful spring apple blossom brings forth rich fruit in the fall. It is an ever giving representation of love and charity. While I love the fuchsia plant and the apple blossom, I have an affinity for all God's Beautiful smiles... all the beautiful flowers that spring forth to brighten our lives. |
