The Eastern Star was originally started for the protection of the women and children of the Master Masons, though they are not formally a part of the Masons organization. It is a non-profit organization comprised of members dedicated to improving the quality of lives in the communities in which they live while partaking in fellowship, social fun and charitable works. Worthy Matrons of each chapter will select the charity that benefits from their fundraising efforts. Sheila Greason, who would have been a 48-year member, was going to be installed as the Worthy Matron for this term and had selected the Salvation Army Food Bank as her project before her passing. Sharon Bragg-Garvey was elected to stay on in that position she was currently holding. Current Worthy Matron Bragg-Garvey told the Independent, “While it is sad to be closing our Chapter in its 99th, I am excited to join London and work with a larger group of people to better the community.” After meeting with member Lois Bragg, the Independent learned much about the Eastern Star and its 99-year history. The five points of the Eastern Star represent daughter, widow, wife, sister and mother.
