A COLLECT FOR CLUBWOMEN
Keep us, oh God from pettiness.
Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with fault-finding
And leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense
And meet each other face to face,
Without self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment
And always generous.
Let us take time for all things.
Make us to grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses,
Straightforward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize it is
The little things that create differences,
That in the big things of life we are at one.
And may we strive to touch and to know
The great, common human heart of us all.
And, oh Lord God, let us forget not
To be kind!
Mary Stewart
Colorado
Our Collect is a prayer or invocation that reminds us of our purpose or aspirations, so it is
always at the front of our yearbook and is often used as an inspirational message or a formal
closing.

A Special Thank You to President Pam Ament who guided us through a very
stressful pandemic time, helping us learn to navigate Zoom and embrace her
theme:
“Change Is Beautiful”
Convention does not become successful without the work of many people, so
a big thank you to the Districts and members who came forward to volunteer and
fill all the time slots for helping make Convention go smoothly. We especially
appreciate those who went beyond what was asked of them by providing extra
prizes for the drawings.
Thank you, too, to the members who decided to attend the convention, our first
face to face one since 2019. And to those who learned ZOOM and participated in
the virtual convention last year.
