Sisters and Brothers:

It’s hard to believe that eighteen (18) months has elapsed in this administration.  The Grand Worthy Patron and I have truly enjoyed working with each and every one of you. But, make no mistake, the job is not complete. We are pleased to be in a position to welcome many new members into the Order of the Eastern Star.

Now is the time to put all of our “Back to Basics” training into practice.  We need to heartily welcome our new members by teaching and assisting them in becoming comfortable with the work of the Order.

Let us continue to be mindful of the difficult economic times that we find ourselves in. Many of our members are still seeking work and struggling to survive. Let us continue to be supportive of one another. We have made amazing progress thus far.  Please continue to think outside of the box and don’t be afraid to try new things. 

As always, I send you out into the world in the care of the “One” who will never fail you.  Work hard, play hard and at all times, Fully Rely On God.

Fraternally,

Sis. Gwendolyn D. Jenkins
Grand Worthy Matron
