From the East
When we make Love, Truth and Charity the keynote of our hearts;
And strive in the virtues we teach to take a living part.
Then will the light of our Order send its' radiance afar;
And each member will reflect the glory of our beautiful Eastern Star.

John and I would like to take this time to thank you all for your continued love and support
throughout this year. We have had a wonderful time thus far serving you, our members, of
Pilgrim Chapter. You have enriched our lives with your abundant love, friendship and
guidance. And we thank you all.
