“To the “Heart & Soul” singers who twice came to give mom concerts.” - Lamoille Home Health & Hospice (May 2009)

This past Saturday we gathered for the next stop “On our Wings of Love” tour in Morrisville, VT.  The Entertainment of Grand Officers was hosted by Coral Chapter #16, Sickle Chapter #34 and Johnson Chapter #65. The holiday season is upon us and the feel of Christmas was in the air.  Angles from the heavens were setup in the entryway to the Chapter Room with ‘Winged Messages’ for all to admire!

Registration was at 11:30 with Angels and Eagles as our purging badges. . . . .  J 

At 12:30 we all gathered down in the dining room for the luncheon.  I gave the blessing, and we all were treated to a very enjoyable meal.  There was chicken pie, baked beans, hashed potatoes, green bean casserole.  Assorted salads finished the buffet table.  There was a beautiful cake with angles for desert, with ice cream and cookies if you desired. 

After the luncheon, we assembled in the chapter room for the entertainment portion of the afternoon.  We had the pleasure to listen to the “Heart & Soul” Choir from the Lamoille Home Health & Hospice View our current newsletter, The Home Health Gazette  The group sang three tunes and explained the role of Hospice and the Choir as well.

After the entertainment, we were treated to an addendum that involved the WGM and WGP as they were escorted through the “twelve days of Christmas” done the Eastern Star way!  Yes, Penny Walker-Reen is not lost for imagination, as most of the items gathered were on the Make-A-Wish ‘wish list’.  

After the addendum, the meeting was opened in form followed by the presentation of the Grand Officers in the East:  Kathleen Sjolander, Worthy Grand Matron and Alec Porter, Worthy Grand Patron.   After which, introduction of the General Grand Chapter Committee Member,  Past Grand Matron and Patrons, and Grand Officers.

WGM Kathy and WGP Alec and Sister Roclyn Porter were presented honorary memberships to Chapter #16, Sickle Chapter #34 and Johnson Chapter #65.

The WGM and WGP had kind words for all.  The WGM Kathy addressed the Make-A Wish project and updated us on how well the cookbook sales and ‘wish list’ items were doing.  WGP Alec advised that the Make-A-Wish project to date is well over $13,000.

During the addresses of the WGM and WGP, two presentations were made.  The travel award, which is an Angle Wing (designed by Sister Madine Churchill) was presented to Sister Joyce Fowler.  Travel Cards will be available at upcoming meeting, and a copy will be linked to the website as well.  Start adding up your points, after 100 points, turn it into the WGM/WGP.

The second presentation was made to Ester Meyer, Sister Esther was given a Grand Representatives commission to Missouri which is effective January 1, 2011!  Congratulations Esther! 

PGP Ronald Boudreau spoke on behalf of the Committee Members, PGP James Bennett spoke on behalf of the Past Grands and Julie Green spoke on behalf of the Grand Officers.

The credentials committee reported and there were 78 present.  The silver collection netted $103.00 for the Make-A-Wish project.  Also to note, the collection at the luncheon, $170.00 was also given to the Make-A-Wish project.  Thank you all for your support.

“An Angel just received her wings!”

Last night we gathered for the next stop “On our Wings of Love” tour in Williston, VT.  The Entertainment of Grand Officers was hosted by Temple Chapter #75 and LaPlotte Chapter #64.  The weather was nice for our arrival, but we all feared there was ‘rain in the air’!

Registration was in the main lobby and we were surprised to see little bell angels representing the four seasons as our purging badges.  You could not go anywhere the rest of the evening without ringing  you way along. . . .  J 

At 6:00pm the smell from the dining room was our cue, after the blessing we all were treated to a very scrumptious Pot Luck meal.  Too many to describe (and I do not want to miss one) so I’ll just say NO ONE left the room wanting!

After dinner, we assembled in the chapter room for the entertainment portion of the evening.  In keeping with this our month to honor our Veterans, we had the pleasure to witness a One Act Play performed by the Scottish Rite of Vermont.  I do apologize for not getting all the participants names.  I will add it is a side of Palmer Martin that most of us had never seen before, even Nadine his wife was not without a comment!  The play was about the (events) involving President Lincoln the day after he gave his Gettysburg Address speech:

The Gettysburg Address

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
November 19, 1863

On June 1, 1865, Senator Charles Sumner commented on what is now considered the most famous speech by President Abraham Lincoln. In his eulogy on the slain president, he called it a "monumental act." He said Lincoln was mistaken that "the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here." Rather, the Bostonian remarked, "The world noted at once what he said, and will never cease to remember it. The battle itself was less important than the speech."

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

After the entertainment, the meeting was opened in form followed by the presentation of the Grand Officers in the East:  Kathleen Sjolander, Worthy Grand Matron and Richard Backus, Worthy Grand Associate Patron.   After which, introduction of the General Grand Chapter Committee Members,  Past Grand Matron and Patrons, and Grand Officers.

  

There was a memorial remembrance of Sister Edna Jenkins of Temple Chapter #75 .

WGM Kathy and WGP Alec and Sister Roclyn Porter were presented honorary memberships to both Temple Chapter #75 and LaPlotte Chapter #64.

The WGM and WGP had kind words for all.  The WGM addressed the Make-A Wish project and updated us on how well the cookbook sales and ‘wish list’ items were doing.  Another reminder from GAP Richard about the General Grand Chapter's Service Dog project with pins and scarves available from the Area Instructors.

Temple Chapter #75 presented the WGM with her own set of Angel Wings and a stuffed dog for the WGP, which will be delivered by BS Richard!

PGP Ronald Boudreau spoke on behalf of the Committee Members, PGP Ronald “Bud” Godin spoke on behalf of the Past Grands and Nadine Martin spoke on behalf of the Grand Officers.

The credentials committee reported and there were 63 present.  The silver collection netted $87.00 for the Make-A-Wish project.

Reminder to get rested for the trip to NYC on December 4^th and 5^th!

Our next stop on the “On the Wings of Love” tour is a ‘Three Way” event with our hosts:  Coral Chapter #16, Sickle Chapter #34 and Johnson Chapter #65 on Saturday, December 11^th in Morrisville.  Registration 11:30 – 12:30  Lunch at 12:30, followed by the meeting.

“You can’t judge a book by its cover. . .

                                    . . . ‘nor can you judge a Pretty Package”

  

The Entertainment of Grand Officers is in Brandon, hosted by Marble Chapter No. 80 and Libanus Chapter No. 47 today, am I must say that I am glad I don’t put too much stock into the weather reports (all the time).  Today ended up to be a nice day to travel, with the sun peeking out from behind the clouds throughout the day.  In the entryway of the building where we were registering, The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls were displaying a beautiful handmade jewelry box, which the Rainbow Girls will be raffling off at The 57th annual Vermont Grand Assembly in July 2011. 

We moved down into the dining room and I offered the blessing, after which, lunch was served to us.  We had a very nice stuffed chicken with mashed potatoes, on the table were dishes of mixed vegetables, cold slaw and rolls.  For desert, there was a table of assorted pies to choose from.  Lunch was yummy!

 

Following lunch, we remained in the dining area for a ‘pretty package’ auction. PGM and WP of Marble Chapter No. 80 was our auctioneer for the event.  There were many packages auctioned off and several of them lived up to the name ‘Pretty Package’! Contents subjective included. It was for a good cause and we all had a good time.  Note: I was the recipient of ‘the shoes’ this year!

After the Pretty Package auction, the open meeting followed.  After the bible was opened and the flag presented, the Worthy Grand Matron,  Kathleen Sjolander and Associate Grand Patron, Richard Backus were presented and conducted to the East.  After which, introduction of the General Grand Chapter Committee Member, Past Grand Matron and Patrons, and Grand Officers.  WGM Kathy and WGP Alec were presented honorary memberships to Marble Chapter No. 80 and Libanus Chapter No. 47.

On Sunday we all gather in Bradford, as Iona No.31 hosted the Entertainment of Grand Officers.  Our string of nice weather came to an end with a cool rainy day.  However, as we were mingling around the chapter room, promptly at 1pm, our ears were filled with the sounds of Caribbean!  It didn’t take us long to all focus our attention to the beautiful sounds coming from the East.  The SOCA Sisters has begun to play.  A steel drum, bass guitar and rhythm box provided all with music to help us forget about the weather outside.  During the set, we all were encouraged to join in, after all this was dance music!

Grand Officers in Fair Haven

“Great for eating a sandwich while driving to a meeting!” – RS Churchill

I am sounding like a record, but it was true again today, what a beautiful day for traveling.  The answer is YES, there are still gorgeous colors for all to see.

Today we all gather in Fair Haven, as Fair Haven Chapter No. 70 and Gilman Chapter No. 88 hosted the entertainment of Grand Officers.  We were greeted at the door of the dining hall by two very lovely young ladies, non other that the daughters of the Brother George Supernault, WP of Fair Haven Chapter No. 70.  The girls are members of The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, Poultney Assembly #16 http://www.vt-iorg.org/Poultney.html and were displaying a beautiful handmade jewelry box, which the Rainbow Girls will be raffling off at The 57th annual Vermont Grand Assembly in July 2011.  I purchased my ticket, and I hope many others will as well.

The chaplain lead us in the blessing and we enjoyed a very nice lunch.  Roasted turkey, scalloped and mashed potatoes, lasagna, baked beans, fruit salad, and a veggie salad, rolls and baked apple dessert with fresh whipped cream.  On the table were hand pained favors for us to take home, a Wish magnet. 

I used the quote at the beginning of this blog entry, as it was the comment made by our Grand Sentinel as he told us of his use of the dinner bibs on the way to a meeting!  Great example Rod!

After dinner, we gathered in the chapter room for the entertainment portion of the program:  three fellows who were friends of the PGM Mary Jane Eaton’s daughter.  I am not sure if the group had a name, I like “Malcolm in the Middle”  but that was used in a television show.  Malcolm, Bob and John.  Both Bob and John played the guitars and sang, while Malcolm entertained us with the harmonica.  The boys can sure play, and by the looks of the room, everyone enjoyed it.

   

After the entertainment, this being an open meeting, the public opening was used.  Followed by the presentation of the Grand Officers in the East:  Kathleen Sjolander, Worthy Grand Matron and Alec Porter, Worthy Grand Patron.   After which, introduction of the Past Grand Matron and Patrons, and Grand Officers.  WGM Kathy and WGP Alec were presented honorary memberships to Fair Haven Chapter No. 70 and Gilman Chapter No. 88. 

The WGM and WGP had kind words for all and addressed the Make-A Wish project and the Service Dog program . 

The credentials committee reported 46 members and guests present. The silver collection netted $46.50 for the Make-A-Wish project, thank you all!

Our next stop on the “On the Wings of Love” tour for The Entertainment of Grand Officers is with Iona Chapter No. 31 to be held in Bradford on Sunday, October 23^th.  The day will start with entertainment at 1:00pm with the meeting to follow.  Light refreshments to follow the meeting.     

Hope to see you all on the Star trail!

Dinner was Delicious - With a Capital 'D'

The Wings of Love took us to Wilmington on October 17 where Mayflower #19 and Bingham #30 entertained the Guardian Angels and the Soaring Eagles.  

After a bit of conversation and catching up with friendships, Brother Jody Boyd welcomed everyone to the dinner table.  Sister Rosemarie Blair led us all in a blessing of all things great and good and reminded all what to keep in our hearts.  Everyone then enjoyed a wonderful meal of our hosts’ fabulous home cooked dishes.

  

With the bountiful harvest consumed we moved into the chapter room, but there was no time for napping.  Sister Sherrie Lind proceeded to call upon all those successful hunters  - or were they scavengers?  She first called for all those who did not bring any items and more particularly those who knew about the scavenger hunt.  There were many of us and we were promptly awarded the BooBoo prize by Brother Jody.  

Sister Sherri and Brother Jody proceeded to award prizes to categories by how many items were scavenged, starting at 20.  There were six who had displayed all 26 items on the list.  I apologize, I did not record these winners, however they displayed some of their findings to the awestruck audience.  There were many 8 track tapes, maps, rulers, purging badges from the early years pictures of many things thought as funny signs.  Many dog tags appeared and one still had the dog attached!  

Cheers to the Honorary Grand Representative of Vermont in Vermont, Miss Betsy.

The entertainment turned to Bingham Chapter where Sister – Teacher –  Carol Farrington and Brother – Judge – Stephen Farrington called on ten Guardian Angels for the Grand Officers Spelling Bee.  After the general rules were explained – The Judge has the final and only say – the difficult challenge commenced.  The challenge proved too be great for the two youngest (figuratively speaking) and the Grand Sentinel and the Grand Lecturer found themselves watching the remaining Angels go on to the finish.  WGM Sister Kathleen and DDGI Sister Sherrill Gould remained standing at the end and, by Juxtaposition, were declared the winners.

WP, Brother Jody Boyd welcomed all to the Chapter which included non-members.  He then called upon the Conductress and Associate Conductress to bring the officers into the Chapter.  WM Sister Sherri called upon the Conductress to escort WGM Kathleen to the east.  Sister Kathleen apologized for WGP Alec Porter who was called to duty while in route to Wilmington.  PGM and PGP, Grand officers and one elected officer from a sister Grand Jurisdiction was presented to the Chapter.

Honorary memberships were presented to Sister Kathleen, WGM, from Sister Rosemarie Blair on behalf of Waverly Chapter #10 of Wallingford.  Sister Sherrie and Brother Jody as well as Sister Carol and Brother Stephen presenting the same on behalf of their Chapters.  

Sister Kathleen thanked the Chapters for the day, thanked the staff for the wonderful meal and, having just successfully completing the spelling bee, said “It was Delicious, with a Capital ‘D’.  She described the altar cloth and Bible marker and thanked the celebrated crafters for creating such lovely works of art.  Make a Wish is the program and she described it as going very well, being about half way to the targeted goal.  The Chaplain being the honored station this year, Rosemarie Blair was presented with a gift and recognition for a job well done.  Accepting the donation from the Chapter for the project she was informed that, as the secretary or the WGP are not here, she could hang on to this for awhile.  She closed with “You don’t have to study to be an Angel – Just Wing It!"

WM Sister Carol described a phone call she had received, it was a ‘hang-up’ call.  The number displayed on the caller ID was unfamiliar but local, so she called it.  “Hello”  “Did you just call this number”  The answer was “I think you need to talk to my mother”…  The resulting outcome was a Sister Kay Johnston, Elected Grand Trustee of the Grand Chapter of Georgia, who thanked all for the hospitalities presented to her and her family for inviting them into this Grand Officer Entertainment.  Having a personal experience with Make a Wish Foundation, she thanked Sister Kathleen taking this very worthwhile project. 

On behalf of the Past Grand Officers, Brother Richard Black, PGP, thanked both Chapters for all the effort that went into this day, recognizing that it is a large undertaking.  Sister Joyce Fowler, speaking for the Grand Officers, thanked for the Delicious meal and the entertainment, congratulating Sisters Kathleen and Sherrill for their spelling prowess. 

The next stop on the "On the Wings of Love" tour is Saturday, October 20th where Queen Esther No. 7 will entertain Grand Officers.  Registration starts at 5:30 followed by a meal and entertainment at 7:00 

Serendipity, one of the many words to spell - how did teh sphel chkcer werk?

Rod Churchill, Grand Sentinel.

Charlotte Morris Meeting

I am attaching some pictures from Karen Stetson who attended the Charlotte Morris Past Matrons & Past Patrons Association Meeting held in Manchester, VT hosted by Adoniram Chapter #22 on October 16.

Past Grands Tea

Sunday, October 10, 2010

“What a GRAND day for TEA!”

This Fall we have been truly blessed with great traveling weather.  A perfect fall day, and a Grand group of people to spend the afternoon with.  This afternoon I was at the Past Grands Tea held at Charity Chapter No. 57 in Williamstown.  The room was decorated in a very lovely Christmas holiday theme.  If you strolled around the room, most every table was set with a different cup and saucer combination. 

I was asked to lead the blessing which was my honor.  I reflected on this room filled with the true Guardians of the Eastern Star of Vermont, our Past Grand Matrons and Patrons.  Included below are the PGM(s) and PGP(s) present here today:

We were served tea by the host Charity Chapter No. 57 sisters and brothers.  During the meal, tea and assorted sandwiches were offered for our enjoyment.  Thanks you to Past Grand Matron Joan Black for the scones.  There was a desert table available for those who dared!  An assortment of seasonal quick breads with cream cheese, pumpkin cookies and brownies.

After lunch, several groups broke out for some quick business, followed by some more pictures.  

Our next stop on the “On the Wings of Love” tour is with Bingham Chapter #30 and Mayflower # 19 to be held in Wilmington on Sunday, October 17^th.  This is an OPEN meeting with lunch at Noon.  

Remember your SCAVANGER HUNT Items!  

I am NOT going to be able to attend, as Chittenden Chapter has the annual Scholarship Turkey Dinner on this date.

Someone forward me a report of the meeting and we’ll get in included in the BLOG!!!

Hope to see you all on the Star trail!
