From the East - Brother Jeff and I would like to extend an enormous thank you to all of our officers for agreeing to serve with us this year. Also, thank you to everyone who attended and assisted at our Installation. We know that all of the officers appreciated your presence, and there simply aren't adequate words to describe how grateful we are for your love, and support. We are looking forward to serving the members of Pilgrim Chapter, and making this a fun and memorable year.

To Sister Linda and Brother John, thank you so much for setting such a good example for us. Your love and dedication to our order have been amazing to watch this past year and we wish you both nothing but success and happiness in the future.

With time slipping by so quickly, and Thanksgiving just around the corner, let us make sure to take a moment to reflect on all of the Blessings that God has given us. As we enter into the holiday season, and celebrate with our families and friends, let us remember to always "Love one Another".

With much fraternal love,
