Excerpt
"The meeting will come to order." Fran Schneider raised the small wooden gavel and brought it down upon the tabletop with a sharp click. She nodded toward the partially open door. "Will somebody pull that closed, please? Thank you, Tammy. Now, let us all join hands and repeat the club pledge."
Hands reached out on all sides around the art room table and closed upon other hands, and a chorus of solemn voices rose softly to recite the words:
"I pledge myself to the spirit of sisterhood--and to warmth of friendship. I promise to do my best--as a member of the Daughters of Eve-- to follow the code of loyalty, love and service--laid out for womankind since time's beginning--and to divulge to no one words spoken in confidence--within this sacred circle."
