My introduction to the MCSPI was in August 2016 when I attended my first Red Dress event.  My husband had created the centerpieces for the event.  His journey with the sisters started after the event.  So for the next eight years I gained more exposure and became a supporter of the MCS.  I was asked many times along the way about joining the sisters but declined due to a demanding job.  I retired in April 2021 and started a new career bartending at a campground.  Along the way I met Greg Kirkland AKA Guard Heathen Bear and he talked to me about joining the sisters.  My bartending gig came to an end in October 2023 and Greg kept encouraging me to join the sisters.  In June of 2024 I became a Postulate in time for Pride and walked in the parade.  I came away that day energized and ready to commit myself to serving our LGBTQ+ community.
