FROM THE EAST

Dear Sisters & Brothers,

      We hope everyone is enjoying the summer even though the “hot and sticky” days are a bit extreme. Enjoy, as it won’t be long before we’ll be complaining of the cold and snow.

      Our basket theme for the Aug. meeting is Flowers and  kitchen, cooking or baking items.             

      Officers note the two rehearsal dates re our Official Visitation and take advantage of the time that our Instructress Ev, PM, devotes to help you with ritual and  floor work, etc. Also, it would be nice if you could look over the telephone list of elderly in your area and give them a call to see if they need or would like a ride to our Day Meeting. We all look forward to a good showing for this event.

THAT NONE MAY BE FORGOTTEN

       Please make it your responsibility to notify  any member of the Relief Committee immediately of any  joy, illness, sorrow or distress among our members.  (See Comm. Members listed on Outside Cover.)

God Be With You,

In Star Love,

Clemma and Bill

Clemma J. Savage, Worthy Matron

William D. Bogue, PP, Worthy Patron

Esther J. Williams, PM, Secretary
