CLUE #6
Put on your Boots ----
We were in the east, but a fast turnaround we must go.
The horses are getting tired, but they too, are eager to know. 
Darel says WHOA - just you wait and see, who the next special one is going to be.
Join us on May 14th at #5405 (chapter address).  Ida betcha' got this.
I'll meet you at the Garden Door

CLUE #4
Put on your Boots ----
Our wagon train, up north we must travel,
Through snow, rain & gravel.
The 8th will take us to the bay,
To a town called "Little Norway"
On a wing and a prayer

CLUE #5
Put on your Boots ----
Oh it's a lucky 13th day - we're turning around,
We are now eastward bound.
A fire didn't dampen our spirits or make us flee,
Our Masonic friends came to our rescue and meet us under the white oak tree. 

CLUE #3
Put on your Boots ----
Teachers are a special breed.
They are such "deers".
They lead us on our way
To a place where the baby lay.

CLUE #2
Put on your Boots ----
Back over the mountains.
The east is calling so we must go. 
We need to find a deer in the park that we can lasso.

We'll gather a little Wheat on the way

Important Message from WGM Judy Turchin:

Dear OES Members - once again COVID is on the rise, and RSV and flu are ramping up soon as well. PLEASE do not attend any Eastern Star function if you are not feeling 100% well. After a recent Eastern Star function became a COVID spreader event, it is obvious that we need to be more cautious. No OES event is so important that you need to attend if you are not feeling well, and those most at risk may wish to start masking. Let us "love one another" by keeping everyone safe.emoji masked face clip art
