October Message

Our June meeting went very well. All the ladies had fun bidding for the pleasure of serving our brothers their lunch and coffee after the meeting. We were honored by a visit of the Grand Associate Matron and her husband Bob. We were also honored with a visit from the officers and members of the Heart o the Mitten Association. President Hazel Chapman had a very nice message for us. It was nice to see so many on the sidelines. We also enjoyed music sung by Joyce Mixer with Jean Thompson on the organ.

The pot-luck picnic at Ellen and Steve Fisher's home had a wonderful turnout. Several younger members went for a swim. It was a shame that the rain ended it so soon. We thank Steve and Ellen for turning their house over to us. They were very gracious to us.

A special thank-you goes out to those who worked so hard on our luncheons and card parties. It was great to see several Life Members who haven't been to Chapter for several years attend the luncheon in their honor. It would have been super to have had more people come ad visit with use, but summer is a busy time for everyone.

The Past Matrons' and Past Patrons' club met at the Texan on July 27th for a short meeting and election of officers. We had a very social evening. August 30th saw a pot luck picnic at our Temple for the Heart of the Mitten Association. We thank President Hazel Chapman for asking us to do this for her.

We were sorry to hear sister Betty Iles is now in a nursing home on Bay road. Please keep her on your list with all the other members who may need a prayer or a visit.

Our condolences go to the families of Ailene Husen and Ruth Boguette who were both life members of our chapter as well as to Sister Carolyn Burgess on the loss of her beloved husband Jerry.

September 14th is our next meeting and our annual memorial during the good of the order. We will also be honoring sister Carolyn Everett PGM, by presenting her with a 50-year pin. Please come and share this evening with her. She is a very special lady and we don't see her as often as we'd like. I also have a surprise fun time planned, but you will have to come to find out what it is. :-)

September 28th is our Harvest Dinner. It will start at 4:00 pm. Helen McGlone is in charge of this important event. I'm sure sh can use all the help and donations you can give. Please come and bring a friend.

Our annual meeting will be October 5th due to Grand Chapter being the following week. Be sure to have all reports ready to be read and filed. All raffle tickets and money must be turned in to Bobbi so she can have her report ready. the money must be in before the 30th of September as that is when the books are closed for the final audit for this year. No tickets will be sold in October ad the drawing will be held on October 5th at 8:30 pm. I thank everyone who helped sell the tickets and also to those who purchased them.

June Message

This is late, but this is the type of information that will be put into this blog.

Well, it has finally happened; the flowers are out and our snowbirds are back. Looks like warm weather is here to stay at last. Time to get out and have soe fun and what better way than to meet with our friends, playcards or just talk abou what has been happening in your life? As you can see, we hav esome dates planned to do just that. We will be talking more on these plans at our June meeting. We will also be showing our brothers how much we appreciate them with a special fun activity planned just fot tme after we close our Bible. Please come and help with any sugestions or ideas you may have to the enjoyment of these events, I know summer is a busy time for everyone, but it is nice to keep in touch with if only once a month with our sisters and brothers of Eastern Stars.

At our May meeting, we honored all the ladies with a bundle of joy. Some ot more thn expected. Officers honored were Amy Hussey. Life membership was presented to Sonja Gross by Bobbi Kapusto. I wish to say thank you to all the officers who did such a beautiful job at our initation. It would have been nice to have had real candidates, but everyone went that extra mile and did their best for our pro-tems.

At the Heart of the Mitten Association meeting in HArrison on May 5th, the annual report of what the Chapter has been doing was read. The Wothy Grand Matron and the Associate Grand Maton came up to me later and said how pleased they were to hear what a beautiul job our chapter has been doing. The said I was to congradulate all our members for their hard work and didication to the order. We can be prowud of our Chapter and the members who come and sit on the sidelines to give their support. Everyone is neede to make a successful chapter.

Our sunshine lady is doing a great job, ut she can only do so if she knows about an illness you or someone you know may have. Be sure to make her aware of this person. Now that the weather is nice, maybe you could visit a shut-in. Remember to keep them in your prayers.

We were glad to see Dorothy Nevelle and Nancy Royal at our meeting. It has been a while since we were able to visit with them. Maybe now that it's nicer more members will come. It's always nice to see new faces.

We hope to see you at one or all of our card parties. If not, have a very save summer and may God watch over you!

Star Love,

Marge Lindszuhn, WM and Bill Kehrer, WP
