“Together in Service We Blossom”

Puc Puggy Regent Elaine McPherson has chosen “Together in Service We Blossom” as her motto and the Franklinia blossom as her symbol for her 2025-2027 administration. To best understand the motto, read her own words:

flower

I picked the Franklinia because William Bartram found the tree and named it after his friend Benjamin Franklin. The tree they think died out in Florida due to planting cotton that became diseased and that the disease also killed the trees. The flower is supposed to smell really good. In the Fall the leaves turn red and there are still blossoms on the tree. Since William Bartram is our patriot, he is the root of our chapter. All our members have grown from the roots and the branches spread out and the tree’s blossoms show off our achievements.

Installation of Officers 2025-2027
