November started us off serving breakfast for the Masonic Outreach Services where we learned there are many benefits to being part of the Masonic family – even for the very young! Afterwards we celebrated with a sweet treat at Ultimate yogurt.
At our 2nd meeting we had a chance to visit with a board member of HIKE (Hearing Improvement Kids Endowment) who shared with us how important this philanthropic project is for kids and what a lifelong difference it makes!
We escorted the US flag for Arcata chapter OES installation and the Bethel flag for Camilla chapter OES installation. Our Honored Queen attended Grand Council and was able to escort the Bethel flag for the opening ceremony. It’s nice to be involved with the masonic family events.
