​Sisters and Brothers,

This New Year has started with the welcome of many new members into Findlay Chapter.  Latham Chapter, in Kenton, merged with Findlay on November 28. 2017.  We are excited for our newest members added into our golden chain of Friendship.  Our theme this year is “love makes a family”.  We are sharing pictures and stories of our personal  Families with our Eastern Star Family. We will be having an initiation soon.  We are also working on a few community projects as we prepare to move into a very busy spring.

​Sisters and Brothers,

Findlay Chapter is finishing up a year of learning  about Rainbow lessons and clowns.  Georgia and Chuck have made it a wonderful year for the chapter.  We appreciate their guidance.  The Installation of Officers for the new year will  be November 14th at 7:30pm.  It is  a regular meeting night.  The Installing Officer will be Gail Walsh, Past Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter of Ohio.  The theme will be “love and family”.  The meeting December 12th will have a Christmas party following the meeting.

​Sisters and Brothers,

I can’t believe the year is half over already.

We have a busy few months ahead of us.

We will be having practice for initiation on 3/28/17 and hopefully two “live” candidates to bring in 4/25/17 and 1 candidate to bring in for our inspection which will be 5/23/17.  We hope to see many of you at these important dates as our chapter depends on these new members.

Upcoming events include the Lodge Easter Egg Hunt April 1, Memorial Service for all bodies May 21, Concession stand at Riverside park for the Community  Involvement Committee.

Don’t forget that the Chapter goes dark in July and August.

Hope to see you at any, or all, of these events.

In Sisterly Love.

​Greetings Sisters and Brothers,

We are back in the swing of things after the VERY WARM summer.  I hope everyone enjoyed the time off with family and friends.

Our last meeting in October will be Sharon and Jim’s last meeting.  They would like to have a Halloween Party so please come dressed in moderate costume or orange and black.
Installation is the first regular stated meeting in November the 8th at 7:30pm.  The theme next year is Rainbows and Clowns.  We have a lot of things planned, so come to the meetings and see what is in store.

In Eastern Star Love,

​Sisters and Brothers,

It has been a good winter season for our Chapter.  Receiving petitions, working on dinners with social enjoyment.

The summer months will be time for relaxation with family and friends.

The second meeting in September we will have Friendship night with surrounding chapters.  The Melody Makers will be the entertainment.

Pray you will have an enjoyable and safe summer.

I don’t have much news at this time. Nothing is coming up because we go dark in the summer months of July and August. We will be starting back in September. When we return, we will be getting ready for Grand Chapter. Hope you have a happy, safe summer.
