Memorial Service for Duke of the Realm Tedd Chilless, who served as Prime Minister in 2001:
Saturday, October 17th
The Atrium at Montgomery Park
2700 NW Vaughn Street
Portland, Oregon
1:00 pm
The Rosarians will perform a Rose Ceremony as part of the service, and everyone is invited to participate.
For those who have not attended a rose ceremony: this is a way to honor Rosarians who have passed. All members are encouraged to participate, even if they do not personally know the deceased. The ceremony primarily consists of each Rosarian placing a white rose in a vase. Specific instructions will be provided upon arrival.
Please register by end of day Wednesday, October 14th so we know how many roses to purchase.
When: Saturday, October 17, 2026 1:00 pm (Rosarians arrive by 12:15 to assemble and receive instructions about the ceremony.)
Attire: Whites, capes, gloves, no hats; new members who do not yet have whites may wear green jackets and black pants. Other attendees are encouraged to wear cheerful, colorful attire to honor Tedd's love of painting.
