Installation Ceremony
Sojourner’s Truth Staff
The members of the Toledo
Chapter of The Girl Friends, Inc. welcomed six new girl
friends into the chapter on Saturday, November 10 during a
new member installation ceremony at the Radisson Hotel on
the campus of the University of Toledo Medical Center.
The new Girl Friends
pledged to adhere to the highest social standards, to act in
a manner that will reflect credit on their character, to be
broadly national in scope and to make the name Girl Friends
stand for dignity, service, graciousness and conviviality.
The ceremony consisted of
a series of events including an explanation of the
obligation of friendship by Edgar Guest; a rededication
ceremony involving candle lighting and taking the pledge.
