The Symbol for 2013
SANTA CLAUS To Represent "The Spirit of Giving"Santa
has been loved and cherished for generations and symbolizes the
generosity and goodwill we feel. He represents all the goodness
and innocence of childhood which we carry with us into our adult life.
He represents the true spirit of giving within us, not the monetary
gifts, but the true unselfish giving of ourselves, our friendship,
understanding, help, and love that we extend to our family, friends,
sisters, and brothers. The same basic principles that apply to our
order. |
|
Emblems:
|
Santa's Sleigh: What better way to show our "Spirit
of Giving" then Santa's Sleigh, knowing that it is used to deliver
goodies to boys and girls, big and small everywhere.
Santa's Wish List: Knowing that everyone young and old
have their own wish list and wants to be on the "good" list especially
at Christmas time.
Candy Cane: The "J" stands for Jesus My Lord and if
turned upside down it represents the Shepherd's Staff and who doesn't
love candy canes.
Model A: Because our Worthy Grand Patron has a
fondness for the older model cars. |
|
Fun Emblems:
|
Worthy Grand Matron - Coca Cola
Because "It is the real thing", just like our order"

Because
I have liked driving the "older" cars. |

Faith: To remember that we should be Forwarding
All Issues
To Heaven
Love: To Show Laughter,
Optimism, Volunteerism,
Enthusiasm in all we do.
Hope: Helping Other

Think: Before we speak we should ask ourselves if
what we are going to say is True,
Helpful, Inspiring,
Necessary, and Kind,
if the answer is no, then maybe what we are about to say should be
left unsaid!
Joy: Let us be joyful and happy and let the joy
shine in our lives not only to our Sisters and Brothers, but to
everyone we meet. (If we add a C & E, for caring and equal, because
we are all equal in God's Eyes, then that spells JOYCE!)
