I can’t begin to express the excitement and the humbleness I feel to be elected as your Department President; and to accept the responsibilities your trust has entitled me to.  My first salute is to my wonderful friend and mentor, Dora Mooneyham, whom I know is smiling down upon us.  To my family, your love and support has been more than essential.  To my Auxiliary Sisters of Captain H. A. Crow 884 and District 11, your support and friendship has carried me through these past six years of my campaign, and going through the chairs leading up to today.  I also thank our new Auxiliary, Clovis 3225, for accepting us into their family. To Doris McDonald, thank you my friend, for the beautiful nomination speech.  You are more special than you’ll ever know. 

Let me assure all of you that as President, I will be guided by no other than the principles and bylaws of this great organization. I love what I do, and I love doing it; so YES, Madam President…  I humbly do accept this office.  I am proud of your trust and I will justify it to the best of my ability.  Thank you
