How to put it

[msmemory_archive]

If I'm applying for a position in a Masonic library, where/how do I phrase my status as an Eastern Star Past Matron? I probably tuck one line under Memberships on my resume. Do I mention it in the cover letter as well, and if so do I also say Past Grand Representative, or is that over the top and I should save it for the interview?

If you have the line for memberships, I'd put it there, but I'd also definitely put it in the cover letter. "I am excited about the position because of my long association with..." etc.

I confess - I don't know how big a deal a PGR is, but perhaps if _you_ think it would be over the top you could save it.

I'm leaning towards exactly that.

Putting in the cover letter "because of my long association with" and then leaving the PGR business (which is an honorary embassy, conveying no permanent change of title/status) out of it.

I agree with this. Sending the clue that you already have relevant knowledge of the organization is a good thing.
