INVESTITURE CEREMONY FOR TWINKLERS

SETTING: A large decorated with stars hung all over the place

A large star covered with tin foil is set in front of the hall. At the center of the star is a
mirror, big enough for the Twinkler to see her own face. Before the ceremony, the star is a covered
with a piece of cloth which will be removed at a certain part of the ceremony.

Beside the star is a huge trefoil representing the GSP Movement.

Play some lively music to start the ceremony as the new Twinklers skip gaily into the
hall searching for something. (Paru-Paro G)
