Installation or Officers with Colored Candles
Mrs.Leonard Giesler (Mary) Corsicana Table
Dallas - 1977
We would like to thank the retiring Officers for their untiring efforts in making these past two years such a pleasant and rewarding experience.
You will remember when Cleo was installed as Director she emphasized we were a friendship organization and solicited our help in carrying on the great traditions of the PART's of Texas.
She has been an exemplary leader and an inspiration to all.
In the past few Days you have heard of the many achievements of the other retiring officers and committee members.
All of you have contributed to the outstanding record of this administration, and we give you our heartfelt thanks for a job well done. Each of you who have served in a State office have had such an abiding interest in furthering the aims and ideals of this organization that you will actually miss the responsibility and pleasure of serving - yes - and even the work involved.
We know you will give the benefit of your experience to your successors.
