"Love One Another" 136 Grand Chapter Session

Greetings —

The Loving Hearts cordially invite you to attend the One Hundred Thirty-Sixth Grand Chapter Session, “Love One Another,” June 21–24, 2026, in Pendleton, Oregon, as we gather as a family for fellowship and the important business of our Grand Chapter.

Included with this communication is everything you need to finalize your plans for this year’s celebration. Your presence and vote help shape the future of our Grand Chapter.


Official registration opens March 7. Please note that this year’s deadlines differ from previous years. All banquet reservations must be received by the committee no later than May 17. Early registration ends May 31 at midnight, with general registration continuing through the Grand Chapter Session.


Online registration is highly recommended and offers two incentives for early registration:

    • Register online by May 17 to receive two entries into a drawing for front-row parking and/or reserved front-row seating for two people for the duration of the Session.
    • Register between May 17 and May 31 (midnight) to receive one entry into the drawing.

Participants will be entered automatically, but online registration is required to qualify. For questions regarding registration or banquets, please contact the committee by email at registration@oregonoes.org.


Please remember that all registrations must be received by the committee by the stated deadlines, not simply postmarked.

The Oxford Suites is our hotel of choice. Be sure to ask for the Eastern Star rate when making your reservation. As in previous years, RV parking at the Convention Center, including shower access, will be available. Our Wagon Master, Brother Steve Rose, will once again coordinate RV parking.


Please see the enclosed tri-fold brochure for the tentative schedule of events.


Tuesday evening will feature Fun Night, so plan to come out and enjoy games and fellowship. Casual attire is encouraged—bring your smiles and friends! The evening will conclude with the final Silent Auction and raffle drawings. Throughout the Session, be sure to visit NU2U for gently used clothing, along with the Jewelry Booth, Flower Booth, and the Associate Conductress’ table.

Cleve and I have truly enjoyed visiting your Chapters this year and look forward to seeing you at Oregon’s Grand Chapter Session. Your attendance is important as we come together to conduct the business of our Jurisdiction.

Star love,


Nancy Pugsley, Worthy Grand Matron                                     Cleve Rolfe, Worthy Grand Patron

Important Information Regarding Our Online Registration Platform and Tip/Donation

  • We will be using a platform called Zeffy.  Zeffy is completely free for nonprofits - no platform fees, no credit card fees, no fees period! They’ve never charged a single cent to nonprofits. 100% of all payments received through Zeffy go directly to the nonprofit. Zeffy relies entirely on optional tips from those using the forms. When making a payment on a Zeffy form, you can choose to contribute to Zeffy or not. On average, 2 out of 3 people leave a tip. This is enough to cover all of their costs and re-invest in the development of Zeffy. Zeffy has been working with nonprofits for 7 years and, thanks to this 100% free model, currently supports 50,000 organizations across North America. The person using the system is never forced to tip Zeffy. You choose whether you are able to leave an optional tip to support Zeffy. If you are not able to, the nonprofit still keeps 100% of the money raised.
  • If you are able to, please help support this company and the amazing work they are doing to support non-profit organizations.
  •  *Please note they have preset the tip amount at 17% but you can click on that button and choose a pre-determined percentage or change it to “other” and put in the amount you are able to or zero.
