YRSOS Calendar Checklist

The following checklist is designed with the (ideal) timetable of twelve months. If you’re planning your Yellow Rose Strong-Oak Society Induction Ceremony on a shorter schedule, just start at the beginning of the list and try to catch up as quickly as possible. Use the boxes to the left of the items to check off tasks as you complete them.  The ceremony is in addition to the celebration planned by the family. Both events can be as grand or simple as the family would like. This is a guide for both.
