From the East - Although it may not seem it, spring is just around the corner, and with it comes our most Holy season. We hope that you enjoy the re-birth of nature's beauty, and would like to wish each one of you a very Happy Easter & Passover. We hope that many will
be able to join with us for our visitation this month. Please
come support our grand officers, see some old friends, perhaps
make a new one, and hear the beautiful lessons of our Order.
Take a moment to remember when you assumed the vows of our Order,
and rededicate yourself to the virtues of our heroines. Reflect
on new ways to incorporate their qualities into your life, and
work to make the principles of Eastern Star the basic tenets
by which our lives are led. May we all remember the Golden Rule,
and always "Love one Another". With much fraternal love,
Jean C. Sudsbury, P.M.,
