Our emblem is a circle of five hands clasped. Each hand holds the emblem of the five Masonic Appendate bodies that have touched Dewey's and my life: Masons, Shriners, Scottish Rite, Order of DeMolay and International Order of the Rainbow for Girls. All of these surround our precious Eastern Star Emblem. The "Simplicity" of what holds us together in our efforts to "Serve" those we love!

Theme: "Hands of Service"
Our Aim
Our hope is that during our year in the Grand East, Brother Dewey and I will inspire all of our members to reach out with "Hands of Service". We will work to satisfy the hungry and thirsty, to welcome the stranger into our midst, and to give warmth to those who suffer from the cold. We will extend a hand to help, hug, and to honor. In doing so to the least of these, we will do so for the Savior himself.
