OUR VISION STATEMENT We were constituted in 1920 with the purpose of giving aid, relief and comfort to the wives, daughters, mothers, widows and sisters of Master Masons through cheerful companionship and social enjoyments. That lofty goal is as relevant today as it was then. By educating our current members and reaching out to future members as to our purpose and goals, we will remain a viable presence long in the 21st century in our own Chapter and in the surrounding areas.
Special thanks to sister Judy Goss, P.M. for writing such a well-thought, meaningful statement.
