2024-2025 is Off and Running

We have already been busy, attending many receptions this fall as well as, right out of the gate, attending the Triennial Grand Session in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It was certainly interesting to see how the rest of the world works in the Order of Eastern Star. The greatest joy was meeting new folks from all over the world and sharing time with friends we have already made in our part of the world, through our Can-Am connection. Our Important Date list is available on this site and we encourage all members and visitors from other jurisdictions to join us whenever possible.

We are looking forward to many new adventures in the year ahead. In December, as is the tradition our Grand Line visited our Nursing Home in Oriskany for a week long visit with the residents who reside on our campus. Christmas Week is always a fulfilling experience and this year was no different. We will join our families for a needed break and celebrating our own holiday traditions before heading off the first week of January to Florida to meet with our brother Masons as we honor our Sisters and Brothers living in that area. We will join with the New Hampshire OES family and the other 10 jurisdictions in Nashua NH, for the Can-Am exchange in February. In March our official visits will begin and then we will be on the road, more than we are home. These days will be labors of love for our order and an opportunity to raise funds for our own projects as well as our two special community programs. We hope many will consider joining us on this journey.

In Fraternal Love and Friendship,
