activity in the past, but
it will be just another
opportunity to honor our beloved Mothers.

Please note that the Shrine
Club’s activities for the upcoming summer months will be comprised of “indoor”
picnics for Memorial Day, July 4th
and Labor Day, as well as a lunch meal or two at local restaurants. Please read
your monthly newsletter and e-mails from Sissel so you don’t miss out on the
locations and dates. Please phone the Club with number attending when we ask for
attendance number
at the restaurants.
Just want to say a BIG thank to
our members who will be returning to their homes up north for the summer. We
appreciate all you do for our Eastern Star and the Masonic organizations. You
pitch right in with financial support for our fund raisers, take stations in the
Lodges and Chapters, and just add so much to our meetings, etc. Hope you all
have a good summer, stay healthy and we hope to see you back again in the fall.
Please
feel free to write to me during the summer, I’ll pass the messages on to our
members.
Let’s pause and remember Memorial Day, an American holiday observed on
the last Monday of May, honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S.
military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years
following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in
1971.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Best wishes,
Sissel Carr
