Application for Membership

In January, some of the Adults in the Nashville Area attended a fundraiser for the Grand Conductress of the Order of the Eastern Star in Tennessee. At the event, someone was to decorate a table in a theme. Of course a Rainbow theme was chosen and the Adults dressed in theme. The table won first place!
