FIFTY FABULOUS YEARS!
Gretchen Gould chaired a committee of past branch presidents who met for months to plan a year-long
celebration. They started In July of 2008 by participating in the Kailua 4th of July Parade. The year-long
celebration ended with the same 4th of July Parade in 2009.
The committee also commissioned a local artist to design a special logo which was used on special coffee
mugs and celebration literature throughout the year.. Members Alta Bento, Betty Sestak and Eleanor Ha
made attractive bags to carry the coffee mugs making it easier to bring coffee mugs to meetings.
Below are Windward Branch members who participated in the Kailua 4th of July Parade in 2008. For
more recent photos of the 2009 parade, go to July Parade. Below, Jacquie Maly holds her "goose" - a real
attraction for the keiki along the parade route. Other participants were Alto Bento, Gretchen Gould,
Hazel Rand, Joanne Flannery, Leslie Briggs, Lynn Miller, Cindy Yates and Kathy Jaycox.
