From the Desk of the Worthy Grand Matron regarding the wearing of Halloween costumes.
Sisters and Brothers,
October is now upon us. I know some Chapters will soon be contemplating Halloween and the wearing of costumes to your meetings. My preference, in regard to wearing your best costume to your meeting, is that it only be worn in the dining room area and not be worn into the Chapter room. Our Chapter room is one of dignity and respect for our Ritualistic work.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Happy Fall and Love to all,
Kathy Paschal
Worthy Grand Matron
Grand Chapter of Texas, OES
