We had a very busy meeting on Monday night, and covered a lot of important things.
The Bazaar is going to be on December 4th from 9 am to 3 pm, and the setup will be December 3rd from 3 to 7 pm.
Worthy Grand Matron Bernie has passed out the elephant banks for the abuse shelters. His name is Waldo, and she wants us to fill him up as many times as we can with our change.
Our School of Instruction is going to be November 22nd, and it will be done by Bernie. There will be a practice on the 21st at 2:30 pm for anyone who wants to work on their part. The canned food drive will continue for this month and food will be accepted through the School.
On December 1st, the McSweyn-Forgo Grand Family will be making their annual Christmas visit to Masonic Pathways. Feel free to go out and support everyone there.
The Alaskan cruise (GWM and GWP trip) slated for July is open to to the public and forms are available to anyone who wants to go. Please contact the Secretary for more information.
Worthy Matron Carol gave her report for Grand Chapter. The most interesting parts were related to the money given in philanthropy, the Legislation, and our members who won their proficiency exams.
$10,000 was given to the Autism project.
$18,000 was given to the General Grand Chapter Service Dogs Project.
$2,000 was given to the Abuse Shelter project.
An undisclosed amount was given to the Shriners Children’s Hospitals.
Congratulations to Marge Lindszhun for taking second place in her proficiency exam for Adah. Also, congratulations to Becky Meeker for taking first in her proficiency exam for Electa. Both of these ladies work very hard on their parts, and to go up in front of Grand Chapter to do their part must have been nerve-wracking. Good job, ladies! Our ritual work is beautiful, and everyone should strive to do their best!
If anyone has questions about the Legislation, please contact the Secretary or the Worthy Matron.
