Fond du Lac Chapter #289, Order of the Eastern Star met Wednesday, September 24 at 7:00.All 18 officers were present with 6 on the sidelines. The chapter voted to have Oriental Chapter #16 of Oshkosh consolidate with Fond du Lac Chapter #289. Our membership will more than double with this action. A dinner preceding the meeting made a profit used for one of the many charities the order is responsible to donate to. Anyone is invited to the dinners preceding the meetings with an RSVP and $5.00.
The next meeting of the Chapter is scheduled for October 22. Everyone is encouraged to wear a costume to celebrate Halloween. Dinner will be chili with all the trimmings. June Potts and Thelma Markham are in charge of the refreshments after the meeting.
Looking ahead to November, the meeting will move to the 2nd Wednesday so it will not interfere with Thanksgiving. On November 12, we will hold a reception in honor of our own June Potts, Grand Representative of South Dakota in Wisconsin, with entertainment at 6:00 pm. A closed meeting will follow with refreshments offered to all who attend.
