Greetings to all our members of International Free and Accepted Modern Masons and Order of the Eastern Star and especially the members of Rebecca Grand Chapter.  

My prayer is that 2013 brings you joy, peace and the fulfillment of your dreams.  May 2013 also be a safe year for you and your family. We pray that each day be filled with smiles and prosperity for you and yours and should any tears be shed that they be joyous tears.

As we journey through this year, let us not forget the charge from our Supreme President, Illustrious James O. Dogan.  Let us put our best foot forward and make it a reality.  We’ve already begun.  Let us continue.  I am so very proud of you and pray that 2013 will be our best year yet. 

Our MOTTO:  If each one, reach one, we can teach one!  In closing, a prayer for you and your family.

May God make your year a happy one!
Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
Not by making your path easy,
But by making you sturdy to travel any path;
Not by taking hardships from you,
But by taking fear from your heart;
Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows.

Fraternally,

Sis. Myra Hall, Grand Matron
