Wish me a rainbow and wish me the stars

All this you can give me wherever you are.

And dreams from my pillow and stars for my eyes

And the masquerade ball where our love wins first prize.

Wish me red roses and yellow balloons

And caress us whirling to gay dancing tunes.

I want all these treasures the most you can give

So wish me a rainbow as long as I live.

All my tomorrows depend on your love

So wish me a rainbow above.

A NOTE OF APPRECIATION

Of your Chapter and you are already being put to work! How can I ever thank you for your willingness to serve and help out? Your friendship is a treasure!

Thank you to my 2004 Co-Workers for your help with serving and cleaning up the dinner. I am sincerely grateful to each of you.
