FROM THE EAST
Dear Sisters and Brothers.
It is hard to believe that it is almost Christmas. Thanks to everyone for making the Snowflake Bazaar such a success. As we do not meet in January and February, our December meeting will be the last one until March. Let our Christmas reflect the true meaning of it. Enjoy our little recess and be ready again in March to help in any way you can. We will need offices filled for the next year. Thanks for all you have done this past year. God Bless you all.
In Star Love,
Clemma and Bill

Instituted January 28, 1902 Constituted January 28, 1903
Wilmington
Acacia is the name of a flowering shrub common to South America and Australia. It belongs to the Pea Family and bears many seeds in a pod. It therefore symbolizes eternal and immortal life, It is said that he Ark of the Covenant in the old Testament was made of acacia wood overlaid with gold and that parts of the Tabernacle were also made of acacia. At a preliminary meeting the name of Acacia was selected.
