Lodge History continued from page 4

Eastern Star Chapter. When their organist could no longer play it, the organ started to gather dust. Virginia Prince, Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star Chapter of Loris #106, spoke to Bill McGrath about lending the organ to the Gurley Baptist Church in Loris. Since our Lodge never used the organ, a decision was made to give the organ to the church in hopes that it would further the work of the Lord. On Sunday, February 18, 2007, Grand Strand Lodge #392 presented the organ to the church. Chris Holland met with Reverend Billy Hachett, Pastor, Virginia Prince, Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star Chapter of Loris #106, and members of the church choir to complete the transaction.

We will continue to research Grand Strand Lodge No. 392 history and update our Web Site, accordingly. If anybody has any information or addition or correction to the preceding, please contact Chris Holland at 843-280-5430 or e-mail cvholland@sc.rr.com. Many thanks to Brothers Del Vereen and Billy Holmes for their input.
