Sisters, Brothers and
Friends,
The Kern River Valley Chapter #643, Order of the Eastern Star,
extends an invitation to all Eastern Star members to attend Chapter meeting in
Kernville. Our meeting are held the first and third Thursday nights of each
month at 7:30pm at the Lodge in Kernville, 562 James Rd. We will
have a variety of fun nights, honour nights, and some dinners before our
meetings. We support our Senior Living Community in Yorba Linda and many other
charities.
Our hands–on charity project is our Cancer
Dressing Station which meets once each month on the third Tuesday at 9:00am at
the Lodge. We make lap robes, neck pillows, mastectomy pillows, hats and bonnets
for cancer patients. These are given free of charge to patients in our valley,
the City of Hope, the American Cancer Society and the UCLA Cancer departments
for both adults and children. We welcome donations of fabric or yarn or willing
workers who are interested in helping with this worthwhile project. It takes
many hands to cut, sew, iron, stuff, tie, crochet, mark and label, so there is
always a job for those who have the time to help. We each enjoy the fellowship
as well as knowing we are providing a service to those in
need.
