And so it begins, in its quiet little way. About a week ago I got my gown (virtually a uniform) for installation in May. Joan says it's ok to get it altered; I want to have the sleeves taken up so that they clear the crook of my elbow. Nominally they are short sleeves, but I'm so short-waisted they are elbow length on me. I'd like to have the body shortened too, but suspect there's too much beadwork for that to be feasible/affordable.

Sunday was the Association meeting, at Contentment Chapter. I went only to the general session to hear the candidates speak, and to be, well, evident, as an involved member. Didn't stay for the individual breakout sessions. Elections this year should be smooth and brief, as both Carol and Mike are running unopposed.

ETA: Over supper, PSI let me know that a volunteer, GMB, has been drafted to be Matron of my local chapter. Whew! I passed the word that I'm willing to take any other local office they need next year.

Notice: sure, you betcha.

Bona fides: it actually goes by the male line - you'd need a male relative who is/was a Mason. Great-grandfather would do.

This is an overview document which was posted by the Maryland state organization, but is just as true in Massachusetts, except for the link to the Maryland contact people.

Great grandfather and great uncle.

Thank you!
