Chandler Chapter #18
Chandler, Arizona

MARCH 2010

What a fantastic turnout that we had for our Honor Night for Sister Maggie. We truly did good with all the donations to Sunshine Acres with the cake, cookie and brownie mixes. They were very happy to have all those treats donated by our Eastern Star group. Thank you to everyone who helped with the evening of fun and donations!

We have our Official Visit of Sister Sue and Brother Jerry coming up on March 11th. Sister Judy is still making the "Make a Wish" cookies to purchase. They are only one dollar and you get a wish too! So be sure to stop her and get yours early! I hear that Laura, Lana, Lezlie, Larry and Lee Leprachaun might be visiting us just to see if we catch them. Come out early for our annual SOUP DINNER @ 5:30 - no set price just a donation; stay for the meeting and some refreshments afterwards.

On a different note, here at Chandler Lodge on Saturday March 13th at noon starts the Official Visit of the Grand Worthy Advisor in Arizona Stephanie Dohm. Stephanie is a member of Rainbow Trail #16 assembly that meets at Chandler Lodge. The meeting starts at 1:30pm. Lunch and dinner costs $12, rsvp is needed to Jennifer Grayson at knowitallgirl@msn.com for meal planning. We will be helping to serve the meals for the young ladies.

March 27th is Fiesta Days in Sun City. We are looking for all kinds of donated items. So clean out your closets and dressers, or make some cookies, breads and jams to help raise funds. Or, just come and play some Bingo, wet sponge throwing, and lots of good food.

We now have 7 new members! We welcome Sister Freeda English who joined our chapter as a dual member. Please come out and meet her and all our new members. Brother Ed is doing our profiency class. Currently it starts at 6:45pm in the dining room. Anyone is welcome to come and study for the tests.

Our annual Taco Dinner is April 3rd and our Wonderful Women Tea is May 1st. So mark these dates down and plan on joining us.

When Irish eyes are smiling,
'Tis like a morn in spring.
With a lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.

Sue Rayner, Worthy Matron


After the busy month of March which Worthy Matron Sue reported on, I'm looking forward to April when, after all the rain we've had we can get out and admire the beautiful Arizona desert in bloom! I especially appreciate the "coming together" of Masonic bodies within Chandler Lodge and once again encourage you to attend our meetings and "doings" strengthening our fellowship. Being a part of a Masonic Family is still a privilege and an honor which we all pledged to uphold! Come on down!!!
