What happened at the last meeting: Thank you to our Sisters and Brothers for coming out to support Pilgrim Chapter. We extend our congratulations to Sister Nancy Brooks on her appointment as a Grand Representative to South Carolina at our March meeting. We voted to place an advertisement in the Shrine Ad book, NH Rainbow program book. If anyone would like their name listed in the Rainbow book and they have not yet sent in a $1 to the secretary, please do so by May 1st. Finally we draped the altar in memory of Brother Lennart Johnson PMWGP.
Grand Chapter happenings: Your chapter secretary has the forms for registration, meals and housing, and they are also available on the NH OES website and eGuidepost. If you need a copy please contact Sister Joan. A reminder that any proposed legislation needs to be sent to the Grand Secretary (Sister Shelley Gullett PGM) no later than April 22.

From the East:
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
As we have been trying to support a different organization each month, this month Brother John and I would ask that please bring non-perishable food items to our meeting that we may take to the Food Bank in Nashua.
We look forward to greeting our Sisters and Brothers at the meeting this month and if anyone should need a ride, please reach out and we will do our utmost to ensure you are able to get to the meeting.
