Installation for my Year
September 11, 2010
Installation was a lot of fun. My husband Tom was installed as the Worthy Patron to be my helper/advisor in the East. We were so honored that Rita Bucholtz, PGM, and her husband, Harvey, were there to preside because she introduced me to Star and presided when I was initiated in 2004! It was a happy day to share with all my sisters & brothers. Thanks to the many of them who are serving as officers this year!
Special Guest Speaker
October 7, 2010We were very pleased that Mr. Bob Rhine came dressed as his medieval persona to talk to us about the medieval concept of Chivalry. We learned that Chivalry grew to be a personal code of ethics. Medieval knights were expected to be a well-rounded person as well as a fighter. They could dance and play chess and should have high moral character. Each knight taught those who served with him the ideals that he valued...thus it was not a codified set of rules throughout the world.
Medieval Dinner
October 30, 2010For a "mere" $25 per couple, we served a 4-course medieval themed dinner to raise money for our benevolent fund.
The first course was bread and a salad based on Platina's Herb salat. Honeyed and herbed butters were a hit. The second course was lemon chicken. The third course was roasted pork. For dessert, there was ricotta torte.
Thanks to the generous support of the chapter and our dinner guests, we raised just short of $400!!
