February Message
Martha Washington had our first initiation on January 25th. We welcome Jacqueline Jordan and Chris McGinnis, and hope they will become active with our chapter. The officers did a wonderful job, with a couple of pro-tems. Everyone did their job well, and I and your chapter thanks you for filling in!
The chapter will be honoring PM Clara Brown, Grand Courtesy Committee with a dinner and a Grand program on February 15th. Note: RESERVATIONS ARE CLOSED. DO NOT call the secretary for a reservation; you will not be able to get one.
The first week of March brings our Cabin Fever indoor yard sale. The date and time is March 6th from 9 am to 3 pm. We will be accepting donations on Friday night. Once I get the times from our meeting, I will post an update.
We will look forward to greeting everyone at the yard sale and hope it is a warm spring day.

Practice and Initiation
On January 18th, we have a practice for the Initiation that is on January 25th.
The practice is at 7 PM. There is no special dress. Please bring your ritual. It would behoove the officers if they would come and practice. Memory work is your own, but it is useful to have people to work with when you're trying to memorize the floor-work.
The initiation is January 25th at 7:30 PM. White for officers is required, as this is the initiatory work. Let's make this a great introduction to the new members we are initiating!

Blog Maintenance
Notice:
There's been some blog maintenance going on. Somehow the calendar application I was using got discontinued from Google, so I had to grab the HTML off of the Google calendar and embed it in the sidebar.
Sorry for anyone who's been trying to access the calendar from the blog and can't because of this issue. I'm not sure when it started happening, so I don't know how long it was this way.
Again, I apologize.
If anyone sees something amiss with the widgets on the blog, feel free to contact me directly at the email listed in the About section.
Thank you for your patience.

January Message
Happy New Year to one and all! We can hope and pray for many things to happen and problems to be solved. We all know only about 1% will be resolved but we should be thankful for any small amount.
We look to the future. It is cold; the driving is bad; it snows a lot; it is windy and you might catch a cold or the flu. Take care. Good luck to the Shrine Circus. Many of our good workers are helping the Nile prepare and serve food for the Shriners who work the circus. They work for a good cause too.
We have lost two members: Helen Bledsdoe, who was soloist for Martha for many years; and Shirley Rigg, a 64-year member. A memorial service was held for sister Shirley just before the funeral service. Our sympathy goes out to the families.
Best Wishes for the New Year!

December Message
Our School of Instruction went well under the leadership of the Grand Conductress Nancy A. Martin. My officers did the excellent work. A BIG thank you to all who attended.
December is a joyful and busy month. To start, we will be doing the installation dinner for Saginaw Lodge #77 on December 8th. Our congratulations to Brother John Carstensen as he assumes the leadership of the Lodge.
Our trip to the Masonic Pathway is planned for December 16th. We will car pool this trip, leaving the Saginaw Masonic Center at 1:30. We will visit our five members and two adopted freinds who reside at the home and any others we may know. If any blue Lodge brothers wish to join us as there are a few you may like to visit. So just join us on this trip to see those unable to make our meetings.
Yes it is December, this is the BIG SHOPPING month. As you run around from store to store remember the Red Kettles, Toys for Tots and others who need help to see that the needy also have a good Christmas. Yes, I shop because my head tells me that is what I am supposed to do this time of year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

November Message
As the adage goes, "many hands make light work". That is right! We need salesperson, help in the kitchen and clean up help.
Our School of Instruction is early this year. The officers are working hard too, with their part. Remember the School is for everyone; come and support your Chapter officers.
Sisters and Brothers, if you know of anyone who needs a card to cheer them, let Charlotte Campbell know. She can only do her job if she has been made aware of the need. If you can't get a hold of her, call the Worthy Matron.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving
