Trestle board
In the coming year we will have desert after meetings and engage our widows with a dinner and Easter baskets. We will have a couple dinners and invite our ladies and widows.
The Grand Lecturer’s Convention (GLC) will be held TBD starting at 9:00 am, we will have coffee and donuts to start then we will have a break for lunch. I have not decided what the lunch meal will be. The topic of the convention is TBD. Oneonta Chapter will host the GLC again this year. Please RSVP for the GLC should be TBD.
With Fervency and Zeal,
A reminder that YOU are needed at our convocations maybe to be that 9th that we need to officially open. Please come, have some fun and fellowship, learn some ritual, and make the chapter stronger. We need to visit other chapters.
