Dear Sisters and Brothers:
Addie and Richard would like to thank the Chapter for electing us your Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron.
Our month of May is a beautiful time for all of us. We celebrate the Spring and the beautiful flowers and beginning of warm weather and new Grand Officers. We wish the best to Sister Linda and Jean Neal as they start their journey for the year.

PROJECT
Sisters and Brothers, it is still our hope to put together a cookbook honoring the great chefs of Franklin Chapter No. 92.
We have received many yummy recipes but need many more from all of our members to make the project lucrative enough to continue.

AND MEMBERS FAR AWAY

cannot keep it from themselves."
