Highlights from the February 2023 Lord Craven Meeting, Good-Bye from President Carol Jutte

 Hello Dames! I don’t know what happened. I blinked and two years went by just like that, and it is the ending of my term as President of the Lord Craven Chapter. I have been told “That is a lot of work” but it’s not really a lot of work if you enjoy what you do. I enjoy all the lineage societies and enjoy all the members because we have the same common interest. Everyone’s history has a special meaning. I greatly appreciate the members of the board who have been very supportive the past two years. All played a great role in making the chapter accomplish the goals of The National Society Colonial Dames XVIIC. I learned so much by attending the North Carolina State Conferences, the North Carolina Board of Management meetings and the Colonial Dames XVIIC national conferences in Washington, DC. Thank you for being such a supportive group of ladies as you are the ones who make the chapter successful. You all are greatly appreciated.
