Greetings Sorors, Happy Mother’s Day to all LTO mothers and mother figures! Mothers are sometimes described as the sweetest gift from Gods to us. There is no way we can ever really thank our mother for all she does for us nevertheless, we must make it a habit to keep reminding ourselves of the various sacrifices she made while raising us. Sacrifices are often still made when we are adults. Mothers' Day is the best time to say in words how much we love and care for our mothers. My hope is that your special day is fantastic! Miss Prominent Pearl Cotillion 2014-An Evening of Enchantment & Elegance was held on 5/4. Miss Prominent Pearl was Jacqueline Boose. First runner-up was Symone Fowler-Canty and second runner-up was Jordyn Bush. Congratulations to these winners and to all the debutantes and escorts. In January I stated that there is a wealth of talent among our diverse chapter members. Here are some examples. Chairman Saundra Jones and co-chairman Allison Bonner Evans, along with their committee, worked very hard in planning our 2014 cotillion. They implemented several new ideas. This was a beautiful event and I appreciate their efforts. I suspect this fundraiser will be quite profitable. Planning for AKA Klassic and our Jazz event are well underway. I thank co-chairs Angela Williams and Rosalind Backstrom, along with their committee, for the pro- gress made in implementing this event. These young sorors have everything under control! With all of her other duties, Marva Campbell Pruitt has graciously taken the lead in planning our Jazz Event. With short notice, she has hit the ground running as she chairs this committee. I truly appreciate her efforts. Committee chairman Pat Parrish has been very organized and creative as she plans our June Luncheon. She and her committee have had plans underway to provide a luncheon that is both enjoyable implements our targeted programs. Kudos to Pat and her committee. Judy Rush and the December Luncheon committee have great plans for us as this luncheon. We will celebrate at a new and different venue with entertainment you are sure to enjoy. She has been organized and personable as she leads her committee. I am proud of the accomplishments and efforts of the chairs, co-chairs and committees listed above.

Greetings Sorors,
Happy Mother’s Day to all LTO mothers and mother figures! Mothers are sometimes described as the sweetest gift
from Gods to us. There is no way we can ever really thank our mother for all she does for us nevertheless, we
must make it a habit to keep reminding ourselves of the various sacrifices she made while raising us. Sacrifices
are often still made when we are adults. Mothers' Day is the best time to say in words how much we love and
care for our mothers. My hope is that your special day is fantastic!
Miss Prominent Pearl Cotillion 2014-An Evening of Enchantment & Elegance was held on 5/4. Miss Prominent
Pearl was Jacqueline Boose. First runner-up was Symone Fowler-Canty and second runner-up was Jordyn
Bush. Congratulations to these winners and to all the debutantes and escorts.
In January I stated that there is a wealth of talent among our diverse chapter members. Here are some examples.
Chairman Saundra Jones and co-chairman Allison Bonner Evans, along with their committee, worked very hard
in planning our 2014 cotillion. They implemented several new ideas. This was a beautiful event and I
appreciate their efforts. I suspect this fundraiser will be quite profitable.
Planning for AKA Klassic and our Jazz event are well underway. I thank co-chairs
Angela Williams and Rosalind Backstrom, along with their committee, for the pro-
gress made in implementing this event. These young sorors have everything under
control!
With all of her other duties, Marva Campbell Pruitt has graciously taken the lead in
planning our Jazz Event. With short notice, she has hit the ground running as she
chairs this committee. I truly appreciate her efforts.
Committee chairman Pat Parrish has been very organized and creative as she plans
our June Luncheon. She and her committee have had plans underway to provide a
luncheon that is both enjoyable implements our targeted programs. Kudos to Pat and
her committee.
Judy Rush and the December Luncheon committee have great plans for us as this
luncheon. We will celebrate at a new and different venue with entertainment you are
sure to enjoy. She has been organized and personable as she leads her committee.
I am proud of the accomplishments and efforts of the chairs, co-chairs and committees
listed above. We have sorors from diverse backgrounds and age groups working to-
gether to accomplish great things for our chapter.

Happy Mother’s Day
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the
bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also and
he praises her; many women do notable things, but you surpass them all.
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Honor for all her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate
Proverbs 31:26-31
The Precious Pearls have been busy doing community service. They partnered with the director Lucy Kokal
at St. Andrew UMC and the PADS program (public action to deliver service) which is held there every
Wednesday during the winter months. The Precious Pearls helped to set up for the guests that need shelter at
the church. They also partnered with the Global Poverty initiative, lead by Sorors Leah Hill and Marva
Campbell Pruitt. The Precious Pearls made blankets for Mantanya's Hope, a nonprofit organization that
provides services to the people of Kenya in Africa. Also, the Precious Pearls donated canned goods and their
favorite cereal to Respond Now, which services the South Suburban area.
Sisterly,
Soror June Mitchell, Chairman
Precious Pearls Committee
We had two Precious Pearls attend the Teen Esteem youth skate party
with Soror June Eichelberger from Xi Nu Omega Chapter. Soror June
was very gracious and we had a wonderful time. Thank you for sending
the invitation and here is the picture of Precious Pearls, Armina Collins
and Monica Johnson.

On Saturday, May 3, 2014, the EYL committee conducted their Leadership
Summit at Dolphin Lake Clubhouse in Homewood, Illinois. This mentor group
was presented workshops on hygiene, computer safety, etiquette and other topics.
The presentations were well received by the girls.
5 Easy Steps on How to Make a
Motion During a Meeting Parliamentary Procedures
Submitted by Joyce L. Nelson, Chairman
1. Ask to be recognized so that you can obtain the floor to speak. You can do so once the last speaker is finished making a statement. The appropriate way to be
recognized is to say "Madam Basileus." Then wait for her to address you.
2. State your motion after being recognized. Your phrasing should be: "I move that we... ." Robert's Rules of Order suggest that you always state your motion in the affirmative. For instance, try not to move that the group "does not" do something.
3. Wait for your motion to be seconded. The Basileus may ask if anyone wishes to second the motion. Or a member will move to second the motion without being prompted.
4. After the motion is seconded, the Basileus will restate the motion and open the topic for discussion. At this point, the members will discuss the topic. The member who moves on a matter can speak first during a debate.
5. After discussion the Basileus will call for the question and move to vote. This occurs after the debate has ended.
6. The motion will either be voted for (in favor) or not (not in favor)

Boule will be held July 12-18, 2014 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Chapter delegates and alternates will
be chosen at Saturday’s meeting. We will choose 4 additional delegates and 9 alternates. (Our bylaws
state that our Basileus, Anti Basileus, Grammateus, Tamiouchos, and Graduate Advisor are automatic
delegates.)
In our Spring Mailing, we received a list candidates running for international offices. We have
received brochures from these candidates which are available for you to review at the May meeting. I
will be asking for chapter recommendations on how delegates should vote at the June meeting.
Chapter Reminders
June Luncheon payment will be accepted at the May meeting
Chapter property should be stored in our storage facility. Get items to Basileus or Anti
Basileus.
May sure that the Basileus and Protocol Chair are copied on flyers submitted for approval.
Also copy the Program Chair on programmatic flyers.
