Suppers ten to be small and easy to cook- if you are interested in helping by cooking a supper, to bring in revenue for the Chapter please contact Shelley at smg55oes@comcast.net or Lisa at auntielisab@gmail.com
What happened at the last meeting: At our October meeting we had a short early meeting, set up a committee to decide on benevolences for next year, then recessed for the purpose of Installation. We had a very informative speaker after the Installation regarding the Worthy Matron and Patrons charity this year- Anne Marie House in Hudson.

From the East:
Brother Bob and I would like to congratulate all of our officers for a great installation and start to a new year. Next meeting we’ll be having initiation and bringing in a new member to our Order, I look forward to jumping straight into our work. We’ve got the holiday season upon us with Thanksgiving and other holidays. When celebrating and spending time with family please take a moment to think of those that might not be spending time with their family whether serving or other reasons. It’s times such as the holidays to take a moment and know how blessed we are to have the support of our Eastern Star family.
