Nan Pointer, Va. Branch
President and Mary Harris, a longtime member and past President of Ware
River Circle. Mary was honored by her Circle with the International Founders'
Award.
Wyolene Pointer, International
Treasurer and immediate past Virginia Branch President awarding Nancy
Barret, LMCC, the Founder's Award from the Branch.
In 2005, the Order
established a new award to honor the spirit of the Original Ten Founders.
Designed for members who are doers of the word and not hearers only, this
award is symbolized by the double heart pin. The pin, worn my Order members
in the early 1900s, holds a Maltese cross engraved with IHN. The year
of the presentation and the initials of the honoree are engraved on the
back. Honorees should demonstrate one or more of the following qualities
of the Founders: Margaret Bottome's spirituality and leadership; Mary
Lowe Dickinson's great vision of the future and ability to communicate;
Isabella Charles Davis' rousing enthusiasm; Mrs. Theodore Irving's interest
in young people; Miss Georgia Libby's devotion to friendship; Mrs. Frances
Payson's beautiful character; Miss Susan B. Schenck's interest in missions;
Mrs. Courtland DePeyster Field's consecration to The King; Miss Helen
Hammersley's good works; and Mrs. J. F. Ruggle's willingness to serve.
If you are interested in awarding this pin to a member of your Circle
or Branch, contact Headquarters (716-357-4951) for further details.
