This month was a quiet month. As our Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron were off enjoying themselves in Vancouver, Sister Marion Loffelmann, PGM and Brother Terence Radford, P.G.P pro-temmed for the evening.

We were pleased to welcome Sister Brenda Shaw-Radford, G.G.C.C.M., Sister Anita Young (Grand Secretary) and Alana Farrell, Past Grand Matrons, Brothers Jarka Loffelmann, William Winter, Past Grand Patrons, Sisters Fabienne Winter, AGM and Judy Christiansen, Grand Conductress and Brothers Archie Christiansen, Grand Trustee, Glenn Munkres, Grand Chaplain and Gordon Young Grand Sentinel. All were warmly welcomed by the Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron.

Under Unfinished Business, Brother Richard Teague was installed as Marshal. Sister Marion Loffelmann acted as Installing Matron, Brother Jarka Loffelmann was Installing Marshal and Brother Glenn Munkres, Grand Chaplain acted as the Installing Chaplain. All of our officers are now installed and we are pleased that we have a complete slate of officers this year. Also under Unfinished Business, the Secretary, Treasurer and Auditors presented their annual reports. As usual, the chapter books are in tip top shape!

Under Good of the Order, it was moved that the Chapter make a donation to the Red Cross for the Haiti Relief Fund, which would in turn be matched by the Government.

After the Benevolent Collection was taken, we had the pleasure of hearing from Sister Brenda Shaw-Radford, G.G.C.C.M, Brother William Winter, P.G.P, and Brother Gordon Young, Grand Sentinel.

Once again our meeting closed fairly early after which we enjoyed some fellowship during our social hour as well as having a ½ & ½ Draw.
