MESSAGE FROM THE
ILLUSTRIOUS COMMANDRESS,
DT. SHEILA F. MARLOWE
Daughters, Thank you for all your love and support thus far. It’s been a most challenging, exciting and growing time for our court. Suakim Court is truly on the move, we must continue to keep "God" first in everything we do, because
All Things Are Possible Through Him.
Special Thanks….

Hard Work & Team Work = Great Success
For All Daughters and Nobles who have participated in our Feeding The Homeless Program, thank you. Our next feeding will be the weekend of April 24 &25, 1999. To our Isiserettes, thank you for your assistance too.
Congratulations Are in Order….
We the Officers & Members would like to welcome our newly created daughter, Dt. Zoan M. Thomas El.
WELCOME….. Thanks to the Creation Team for a Job Well Done.
Don’t forget Daughters:
We will be visiting our Nobles of Suakim Temple #60 during the month of May.
My Motto Is:
"Let Us All Recharge To Take Charge"
SUAKIM COURT’S FIRST
MARDI GRAS EVENT
A COMPLETE SUCCESS
The 1999 Dream Team of Suakim Court #54 hosted their first annual Mardi Gras Dance on Saturday, February 20, 1999 at the Brandywine Terrace. The program was MC by our own Dt. Marilyn Monk, PC. The grand march was led by Dr. & Mrs. Miller of New Orleans.
The event played out with all kinds of dazzling costumes. Illustrious Commandress, Dt. Sheila Marlowe enchanted the crowd in her white. Do you know who that mask man is next to her? If so, go to the Suakim Court web site and state your guess…
This was truly an event you should not have missed but if you did, plan to be there next year.
Suakim Brings Easter To The Children
On Thursday, April 1, 1999, Daughters of Suakim Court #54 and Nobles of Suakim Temple #60 brought joy to the children at the Terry Children’s Psychiatric Center. The children received painter caps and were read stories that evening.
It was truly a rewarding experience. Thanks to everyone who participated in this event.
