From the desks of the Worthy Grand Matron & Worthy Grand Patron ~ August 21, 2023

Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Welcome to the Navigators of New Hampshire Eastern Star Grand Year. We are very excited to start our journey with all the members in the jurisdiction. A huge thank you to everyone who attended the Installation at Grand Chapter and to those Chapters that contributed to the refreshments after the Installation.

We have several events planned for this fall and want to ensure that all the members are aware of the activities and understand that everyone is welcome to join us. We encourage everyone to subscribe to the e-Guidepost, navigatorsofnhoes.org website, and Friends of the Navigators of NH OES Facebook Group. In addition to sending information to all the Chapter Secretaries, all the details will be posted via social media. A few of the highlights include:
September17 at 1pm - The Unity Picnic at Wellington State Park
September 23 at 2pm - The Navigators Grand Officers Reception at the Bektash Shrine located at 189 Pembroke Road in Concord
September 24 at 1pm - Navigators Group Meeting / School of Instruction at the Candia Masonic Temple
October 21 at noon - Pens & Keys Meeting at Priscilla Chapter in Boscawen
October 30 at 7pm - School of Instruction at the Masonic Temple in Tilton
November 3-5 - International Weekend in South Burlington, VT
November 11 at 2pm - Bark at the Stark Brewery Tasting event in Manchester
November 18 at 4pm - OES Grand Officers Day and Initiation in Pittsfield

This year we have chosen two charities, Waypoint, formerly Child and Family Services of New Hampshire and Evergreen Place, formerly the New Hampshire Masonic Home. In support of these charities, we are asking that the Chapters donate brand new packages of underwear at their Visitations and that the Chapters consider donations to the Good Cheer Fund when they make their annual donation to the Grand Chapter Benevolences.

We look forward to navigating around the jurisdiction and sharing the year with the members.
