Hi Member, Here are the highlights of this edition of our newsletter Easter and Passover greetings April is National Stress Awareness month Read the Bulletin online Follow us on Facebook Another Zoom Gathering completed   Happy Easter! Happy Passover!  Wishing all of our members a Happy Easter and Happy Passover! We hope you celebrated carefully and were able to gather safely with some of your family and friends, either in person or virtually. There is hope in the air and in our future. We hope you are all enjoying the season.    National Stress Awareness Month Spring is here! Vaccines are rolling out and are proving successful. It's holiday time. But despite all the good news, sometimes we are still feeling worried and stressed. That can be a real health issue, but don't let that stress you out. The medical community has long recognized the dangers of stress, and have found many healthy ways of dealing with it. If you're feeling stressed, some simple relaxation routines may help. For example, try to become aware of your breathing, and to slow it down, taking deep, slow breaths in and out. Maybe you feel like a rubber band being pulled too tight, try using that energy. Exercising has long been known as a way of calming the mind -- it may work for you, too. Just as stress can cause or worsen medical problems, taking care of your body can help to relieve stress. These and other techniques may help remove unhealthy stress from your life. Get more information about these and other ideas from the American Institute of Stress, and make this a more stress-free season.    Read the latest Bulletin Did you know that you can read the Royal Arcanum Bulletin online?

It's another way to keep up with what's going on. All approved IFS projects are posted on Facebook -- it may be the fastest way you find out that your council's project has been approved. We also post when the Home Office is closed for holidays and other timely information that we share with members and non-members alike. If you don't have a Facebook account but would like to see us on some other social media outlet, let us know and you just might find us there soon.    Roy's Corner Our latest Zoom Gathering saw a number of new participants: Rosella Berger, Joe Tedesco, Nick Benoit, Jim O’Neill, Joanie Francis, and Evelyn Magarban. They joined veteran Zoom attendees Ken & Judy Kolek & Jackie Wudkiewicz and Carl & Christine Krzystofczyk. Roy Al Arcanum, of course, made his appearance as well. We had some technical difficulties, and we're working to help resolve them for next time. Watch for future Zoom hints and tips before another Zoom event. Despite the difficulties, the conversation was terrific. From discussing sports to the latest in each other's lives to the most popular current topic about vaccinations, everyone enjoyed the time spent together. A few folks asked for the next gathering to be about an hour later, so we'll try that next time. Maybe that will work for you and you can join us!
