At our Friendship Night, Sisters and Brothers from all 10 chapters in our Northern San Joaquin Association visited Wistaria to share in food, fun, and great ritual work. Again, we are blessed!!!

Wistaria members and guests shared costumes and laughter, and raised funds for the Chapter's charitable projects at a 1930's-themed evening at the movies. For a small entry fee guests were able to find one-of-a-kind items in a silent auction that was held before the main presentation and during intermission. We were pleased that our concession stand was such a hit. This was our first theater event, and we were very grateful that teamwork made the evening fun and successful. The net proceeds were the same amount as our gross receipts since several members stepped up to cover all of the expenses ... thank you to our amazing and generous Wistaria members!
When you have a Sister or Brother in need, and you tell them to reach out to you if you can be of assistance, do you really mean it? We are so blessed that when one of our Sisters was unable to meet a commitment she had made that a Wistaria member stepped in to Pay Goodness Forward and baked 40 dozen cookies for her.
Rootin' Tootin' Good Time Social
Fun and fellowship was on the menu as Wistaria members gathered together with friends, new and old, to enjoy root beer floats, hot dogs, and games for the young and old ... the evening was filled with laughter.
