chair's comments

The New Year got off to a fantastic start.  If you were not able to attend our Coronation, you missed a memorable evening.  In addition to partying with our fellow Enneadians and members of other Carnival Krewes, we announced our Royal Court for 2007.  Our Court is comprised of King Jerry Michie and Queen Barbara Lyons; Duchesses Janice Casey, Susan Hanlon, Robie Hoffman, and Shirley Lawson; and, Dukes Don Chenault, Jim Crawford, Michael Huey, and Bill Hunt.  And the Flagman is (drum roll, please) Billy Britton.  This is an AWESOME Court.

As always, the Coronation was a massive undertaking.  Many friends of Ennead made this event happen.  The Krewe thanks all of you who pitched in and helped to “git ‘er done”.

Like every other month, Ennead’s social calendar is packed for February.  Please pay particular heed to the Mardi Gras party to be held on Friday, February 16.  More details on this party and other activities are elsewhere in the Newsletter.
 
The Board is attempting to provide the membership enough time to plan their social schedules.  Joyce Hufford and Vickie Rivers have worked hard to plan our monthly parties as far in advance as possible.  Every little detail cannot be resolved months ahead of time.  So, understandably some adjustments may be necessary as we get closer to each party.  In addition to being listed in the Newsletter, dates of future parties are also on the Ennead website.  If you have not visited our website, I suggest that you do so.  The website address is www.ennead.info
 
Happy Valentine’s Day!

  The Dance

  Our Flagman


Dear Ennead Members,

We are extremely honored to be representing the Grand Krewe of Ennead as the 2007 King and Queen. We are proud to have an awesome court to share this year with.  Duchesses: Shirley Lawson, Susan Hanlon, Janice Casey, Robie Hoffman, and Dukes:  Don Chenault, Bill Hunt, Mike Huey, Jim Crawford, and Flagman Billy Britton.

Our heart felt thanks to; Coronation co-chairs, Sara Qualls and Kathy Jacobs, and their committees, Marta Vinzant, Barbara Jamison, Carol Edwards, Lynn Maxted, Holly Randolph, Gaynette Price, Pamela Smith, Betty Reschenberg, Carolyn Mayo, Nancy Williams, Jim Browning, Llana Smith, John Rada, Ron Kirpatrick, A very special THANKS to our Chairman, Charlie, and all of the members who dropped by to do anything we needed. We even had a non Ennead person come to Marta’s home to help with the decorations, Barb Keith.

We are thankful to have had the talents of so many members to produce such a lovely affair. We are still receiving compliments on the Decorations, and the Waltz.  The entire court worked long hours on the dance, but, we all agreed, it was more fun than work. We invite you join us this year, Dancing with the Stars, of all the other Krewe’s and of Carnival Memphis.

We encourage you to participate in our fundraiser. Our Chairpersons are Betty Reschenberg, Marta Vinzant, and Jimmy Humphreys. Our charities are: Emmanuel Episcopal Center, The Neighborhood School, and United Cerebral Palsy of the MidSouth. Let’s all remember these children and do whatever we can to make this fundraiser a success.

 Thank you,
Queen Barbara and King Jerry

Remember “ Dance like nobody’s watching”.
