Easter Baskets 2023

Last Night's Meeting

 

Greetings everyone,

Thank you all for making last night's meeting so wonderful. We started out by filling 40 Easter Baskets for the kids in a local shelter. Dawn Gummer was instrumental in making this event possible by getting all the supplies together. Then Dawn and Donna Tucker took a full carload of baskets to the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission. You were all so very generous, the baskets were stuffed to the brim.
Dawn Gummer provided a wonderful dinner of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans and homemade dinner rolls. After we ate, we celebrated a birthday - our Worthy Patron, Mert Gayler, turned 80!!!!! We sang Happy Birthday and enjoyed a beautiful cake for dessert.
Our Deputy Grand Matron, Debbie Conway, joined us last night. During our meeting, we affiliated our newest member, JayLynn Earl, who comes to us from Bandera, Texas. She is a member of the Cherokee Nation, and wore a ceremonial tribal dress for the affiliation. And guess what? Two of our other members told us they were ALSO Cherokee! Can you guess who?????
We talked about our upcoming fundraiser, the fashion show. Lorelei Ceja created a flyer and tickets for the event. We each were given five tickets to sell to our friends, family, and neighbors. The tickets are $50 which includes the meal and the fashion show. The event begins at 11 am, Saturday, May 20th, at the Heritage Palms Club House in Indio. The doors open at 11 am for socializing and silent auction of gift baskets. The meal service starts at noon, with the models strutting their stuff shortly afterwards. Please bring cash or check as no credit cards will be accepted. Any questions? Please contact Cec Speaker 760-641-8864, Raelene Qualls 760-485-0887, or Donna Tucker 760-668-6328.
Thanks again to all of you who made our meeting great. And those of you who were unable to attend, please know we missed you.
See you soon,
Jane Bradfield, Worthy Matron

Happy New Year to all !!!!
It's time to get back into the swing of things after the holidays.  The monthly Scottish Rite dinners will resume beginning with the Installation of its officers on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 (flyer attached).  The time etc. is indicated.  The dinner is $35.00 and you need to make reservations in advance at:  psscottishrite.org/simple-e-schedule .  No, I do not know what is being served!
We need to make a great effort in supporting our Coachella Valley Masonic family this year.  The last couple of years have taken a toll on all of us and it would be wonderful if we could all come together as a 'family' and lend support where needed.  Our wonderful Chef Hector will be installed as Venerable Master of Palm Springs Scottish Rite.  This is the spot Jim Ridley had before his passing.  We all know Chef Hector for his fabulous cooking!  If the next question is, what should we wear, I would say 'dressy casual'.  Please read through the list of officers.  I'm sure you will recognize several.
As of now, Jayne Woods and I plan to attend.  We hope to see you there........
Any questions, send me an e-mail or my cell 760-668-6328 (txt).
