General Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star
has a Permanent Disaster Relief Fund.
This has been used for hurricane and earthquake relief and
will be used to provide aid to victims
of disasters throughout our Eastern Star World.
Please contribute generously through your Chapter Secretary.
Past Grand Master Jeffery Hamilton of the
Grand Lodge of Utah restarted the Utah Mason newsletter and here
is the second edition in the restart. The goal is to
focus on the various bodies and clubs. Communication is key to
any organization and hopefully the newsletter will be useful
and interesting to all Utah Masons and appendant
organizations.
All organizations and each person in the Masonic Family is
encouraged to submit articles, editorials, instructional
materials, pictures, etc. to be included in the newsletter.
Articles could include information such as; bringing another
person into your group (if they want to be recognized),
special meetings, dinners, awards, etc. and include pictures.
For now, the plan is to publish quarterly with the hope to
make it into a monthly circular. Send material and pictures to
dhutchin@wyoming.com Thanks: Dave Hutchinson – Editor
