Federal Chapter No. 38 will host this year's First School of Instruction (SOI) focusing on the "Basics" on Thursday, June 12th, at 7:30 PM at 122 C. St. Grand Lecturer Nola Mahaney will lead the session, presenting the core principles and addressing participant questions specifically related to the foundational topics. Attendees are reminded to bring their Ritual, Book of Instructions, pen, and notepad for optimal engagement. For those needing to acquire a Ritual or Book of Instructions, the Chapter Secretary is available to assist in procuring these essential materials. This is a valuable opportunity to deepen understanding and clarity on fundamental concepts within the order. P.S. From the WGP: If you are planning to visit each chapter this year, the SOI may the one to go to. Bring a sister or brother who may improve themselves with this session.
