History of OES
The Eastern Star group was founded in the US in the late 1800s. It is a fraternal organization open to both men and women. Members must believe in a supreme being, and the group is aligned with the Masonic Fraternity. It is sometimes referred to as the “female branch” of the Masonic circle. The organization’s mission is to promote leadership skills, charity, and community involvement among its members. The Eastern Star group also engages in philanthropic activities and supports a variety of charities.
Community
In terms of community, the Order of the Eastern Star plays a role in fostering fellowship and support among its members. It provides a structured environment where individuals can come together to participate in charitable activities, personal growth, and social events. Members often engage in community service projects, fundraisers, and educational initiatives aimed at benefiting their local communities.
About OES & Masons
The Order of the Eastern Star (O.E.S.) is the largest fraternal organization in the world to which both men and women may belong. The Eastern Star and Masonic members in the Texas Hillcountry are a tight-knit community steeped in tradition and history. One of their most beloved traditions is working together on annual charity fundraisers, where they come together to raise money for local causes and organizations in need, especially scholarship funding for high school graduates.
Their dedication to their community and to each other was truly inspiring, and their presence was felt far and wide. They were not just a group of individuals – they were a family, bound together by their shared values and beliefs.
And as they continue to come together year after year, their bond is stronger. Working together, they are a shining example of what it means to be a true brother or sister.
