Pine Castle Chapter No. 321 OES

FYI - due to safety concerns with the Lodge building, we will not be meeting tomorrow, December 1st. Once the concern has been resolved, we will resume our normal meeting schedule.

Pine Castle Chapter No 321's Official Inspection is coming up on October 6th! RSVP to our WM or Secretary by 9/30.

Pine Castle Chapter hosted an awesome Honor Tea for Sister Jolee Miles, Grand Warder. It was a great Taddy Bear Picnic. Thanks to the Officers and members of the Chapter and to everyone who attended for making it a special day for her.

Tonight, we initiated 3 new members into the Chapter. Please welcome Hunter, Anna and Ravi to Pine Castle!

As mentioned at our Pine Castle Lodge No. 368's Stated Communication on September 7th, W:. Pugh's daughter had sent me an update stating that the cancer is not just limited to his lung but that it is all through his body.
Tonight, I received another update that his oncologist has stated he this Ralph has about three weeks life expectancy. The family is looking at bringing in Hospice but for now he is still at Advent Health on Rollins Street in room 8921. This is very sad news.
As we all know, he liked to say that he was the last person that would let you down. He has been a fixture at the Lodge and could always tell great stories about his time in the Military and working for Orange County. He will truly be missed.
Again, if you have a few minutes, please go and visit him. Don't put it off - you do not know how long he will be able to receive visitors or how long he has left. Let's show our Brother how much he means to us and bring a little ray of Light to him in this dark time.
John Miles, PM
Secretary
