its not like the red hat ladies!

I have decided to join Eastern Star and I am kind of looking forward to the experience. I was involved in Jobs Daughters throughout high school and I can say that I actually enjoyed the experience. I have always had regrets of not ever being elected Honored Queen but I was still able to have a positive experience.
I have been preparing myself because its going to be an interesting experience. You could say that a vast majority of the members are senior citizens. I like this about the organization. I think its important to involve yourself with persons of all different stages of life, you never know what you might learn. Another thing I have been a little frightened about is the dresses. If you are an officer, everyone wears a matching dress. It might look something like this:

Be jealous!

Long story even longer, I had to have a meeting yesterday with a couple of members (maybe to make sure I didnt have horns and a tail) and we were talking about installation (the ceremony when you actually become a member). Then reality quickly sank in all of a sudden:

"Now, the other gentleman that will be going through installation with you has somewhat of a knee, shoulder, and pretty much every other joint problem. He will not be able to kneel with you doing certain parts of the ceremony, so we were wondering if you would be embarrassed to sit in a chair instead of kneeling so he doesnt feel awkward?"

I just thought it was funny because I guess there is going to be a very large age range in this group and I cant wait to chat with the ladies about double coupon days and which denture cream works the best!
