Prime Minister Sue Klobertanz was knighted in 1999 under the rose "Vision."

In October 2009, Sue made history as being the first woman to be installed as Prime Minister.  For her, "Vision" is more than just the rose she was knighted under.  Vision is the love of pageantry that makes Portland so uniquely special in her heart.  

Webster's Dictionary says that to sew means to:

1 : unite or fasten by stitches
2 : close or enclose by sewing

We need some volunteers to assist with sewing the ribbons for medallions used at the Washington Park Knighting, Newsmakers  and the Prime Minister's Ball.

If you've got the talent and would like to help, please call Nancy Chilless.

I, Sam Adams, Mayor of the City of Portland, Oregon, the "City of Roses", do hereby declare the Royal Rosarians to be the Official Greeters and Ambassadors of Goodwill for the City of Portland from October 1, 2009, to September 30, 2010.
