Lonnie C. McElwain aka Laura Lee Love

FOUNDER Of R.S.I.C.S.S.

EMPRESS I & II - GRAND MAMERE FOR LIFE

 

I think one of my letters in a Coronation program a few years ago best explained my beginning

involvement with the International Court System and thus the founding of the Houston Court.

 

I had a dream of using my talents as a female impersonator in a way that would help others.

After Jose I, The Widow Norton, asked me to start a court in Houston, that dream became

a reality. I worked, watched, and cried a lot as this group grew from less than ten members

to the seventy-plus dedicated individuals we have today. Through the laughter and the tears,

we have seen RSICSS become a very recognized organization within our Houston community

and a respected segment of ICS. We have seen the humble few dollars that we were originally

able to raise grow to tens of thousands of dollars each year for those in need in our local community.

We have watched numerous people develop hidden talents for our fundraising efforts. More than

any of these tangible things, we know that we helped to make life easier for some who so

desperately needed our help. For these reasons, I feel that my childhood dreams of becoming

"a princess...or a queen...or one day the Empress of an empire" are being fulfilled each day through

the efforts and dedication of those who comprise RSICSS.

 

I gratefully acknowledge the trust put in me by Jose in our early days, but just as many thank-yous

are to be extended to each person who has helped raise even one dollar through our Court for our

local 50l-C-3 charities, and to everyone who has helped make the RSICSS Founder's dreams continue

to come true.

 

With dedication and devotion,
