Ruth Chapter #3
Order of Eastern Star, the

blessed years, on March

brated her 90th birthday.
We were blessed
with a beautiful program
with very interactive par
ticipants that embraced
our guest and chapter
members, with praises
and songs, providing us
with an illustrious lega
cy.
A commemorative
memorial was held salut
ing our past members
and acknowledgement to
our seniors that compos
es most of our member
ship that are sick & shut
in, they were not present
but will never be forgot
ten!
We are grateful to
God for allowing us
many years of unweaving
success, starting with the
late Naomi Butler, who
presided faithfully until
her health failed and then
God gave her rest.
Our prayer is that
God will continue to
bless our chapter and our
organization as we faith
fully do his will and char
ity to all man kind.
