April 6, 2025
Shreve Chapter, along with Ashland Chapter, held a joint reception for their Grand Representatives—
Nevada, Janet Yoder and Puerto Rico, Mary Lee Lowe.
The reception was held at the Ashland Masonic Temple. They were introduced as the Lemon Sisters because everywhere they went they were dressed in yellow. The Chapter Room was full of family and friends. The gals were “roasted” with memorable moments of their lifetime and Eastern Star years.
Our Grand Representatives also had a special guest, Past Grand Patron Roy Turk. He surprised everyone and had a great time visiting with friends.
On August 20, 2025 Shreve Chapter was so excited to celebrate our 100th Anniversary with a Grand Visitation by our WGM, Marla Barber & WGP, Ray Dennis. We began our evening with a dinner being served to 50 Star Members. We want to thank our Garfield Lodge Masons for serving our dinner. We then opened our meeting at 7:30 with a total of 61 Sisters & Brothers joining us! We had many wonderful Grand Presentations!
After the meeting, it was entertainment time! Below are random pictures taken during "Name That Tune". Our Martha, Janet Yoder gave clues to songs and our Organist, Gary Gallion would play a certain number of notes for each as we would think hard & shout out our guesses. Gary would then play the songs and we could sing along. So much fun!
We followed up the evening with delicious desserts in the dining room, again being served for us by our Masonic Brothers. It was a perfect time for chatting, laughing and as you can see from more random pictures...goofy fun. ENJOY!
