Mat-Ta-Nah Temple is looking forward to the ladies luncheon and the rest of the days activities. It's been a hot, busy month for many of us. This transplanted northwesterner can't figure out whether to water or drain the swamp. We do know fall is on the way because they are picking muscadines and the tomatoes are loosing their leaves. Anyone out there tired of tending the garden and all the wonderful fresh produce. Mat-Ta-Nah Temple has sent a big box of school supplies and pillow cases to the Shreveport hospital, with more to go after next stated session. We will be collecting socks for toddlers and teen girls. And more pillow cases. I am empting my stash, much to my Noble's delight. We are continuing planning for our ceremonial November 13 when Supreme Queen Margaret Ann will ride into town on the tour bus so generously provided by Daughters of the Nile Foundation, Shriner's Hospitals for Children and Shrine International. She is expected at Scimitar Shrine Center about 10:00. Come see it and stay for the banquet. Up coming dates: October 19 November 13 November 16 December January Stated Session, Founder's Day Supreme Queen's visit, ceremonial and banquet Stated Session Dark Dark Again, congratulations on your incoming members.
