✨🇺🇸 What an unforgettable St. John’s Weekend 2026! 🇺🇸✨

It was an honor to proudly carry the Order of the Eastern Star Flag alongside Sister Esther Cabrera from Lorelei Chapter No. 581 during the St. John’s Day Parade⭐🌹

Representing our Chapter and the Order of the Eastern Star with pride, and love for our Fraternity was a truly special moment. I am grateful to have shared this experience with our dedicated Grand Matron Betty Sano Pietrangelo, Grand Patron and Grand line SistersBetty Sano Pietrangeloer throughout New York State. ❤️🤝✨

The Autism Gala Night was truly wonderful. The effort and support shown by everyone who was able to participate were exemplary; words fail to describe such an extraordinary event hosted by the MMRI. Let us continue working together and remain a part of this dedication and enthusiasm. We should always support a good cause—and what better cause than this one? Our deepest gratitude goes out to all the participants.
