Great Plains Regional Meeting



Several members and Seniors at Great Plains Regional Meeting
Members learned about the 2017-18 National Project, Browsing History, at the Great Plains Regional Meeting in St. Louis, MO. The regional meeting rotates between the 8 states in the region, and this year it was in our hometown! Alexander McNair members and seniors helped with various chairmanships. They were also able to participate as pages and flag bearers.

 motto: "For God and my country."
Regional meetings are run by the Region's Vice President. He or she selects members from the region to help lead the ritual during the meeting. Several of our members were able to help with the rituals.

The National President has an opportunity to share information about his or her national program through skits and breakout sessions. Members are encouraged to meet new friends from other states during the breakout sessions.

The regional meeting ends with a banquet on the second night. State Presidents share a report regarding their state projects. It is exciting to hear what the different states are doing. Also, members can receive pins at any N.S.C.A.R. meeting (regional or national convention). Several of our members and seniors received pins this year.

The Grand March
After the banquet is over, there is a Grand March! The children march in and have a dance for the rest of the evening.

There were 6 members, 1 prospective, and 7 seniors in attendance at the meeting.
