Members, Sponsors and Friends of the Constellation of Junior Stars,

My name is Melissa Glassman and I am honored to be the 2011-2012 Grand Exalted Star of Light and Love for the Grand Constellation of Junior Stars.

This year I would like everyone to focus on three things: membership, sisterhood, and ritual. All of these things are very important for our organization to continue on into what I know will be a bright future.

To boost membership this year we will be finding “Nemos”! Every member should strive to bring in at least one new member this year. Awards for membership will be given out throughout the year at Official Visits and the Homecoming of the Grand Exalted Star of Light & Love.

Keeping the bonds of sisterhood strong in Constellation is very important to me. An easy way to do this is by reaching out to your sisters when they are in need, saying a kind word, or helping them in some way. Remember that all of your Constellation sisters and sponsors are here for you whenever you need us, too.

Good ritual work is the key to running a successful meeting, public or private. The discipline that you put into learning your ritual will spill over into the rest of your life. Not only will you become more familiar with what the ritual says, but by reading it you will also become more familiar with how to use its teachings in your daily life. There’s a reason why our organization is based on truth, friendship, faith, sincerity, and service – because they are important! What we learn in Constellation now will help us to be better women later in life.

By focusing on membership, strengthening our sisterhood, and learning our ritual, Constellation can accomplish great things this year! So get out there and find “Nemos”, reach out to your sisters, and practice your floorwork and ritual so that we can show ourselves and all of our Masonic family how awesome Constellation is! And remember…

“JUST KEEP SWIMMING!”

I look forward to seeing each and every one of your smiling faces in my travels!
 
In Constellation love,
Melissa Glassman
