The Order of the Eastern Star is a fraternal organization that both men and women can join. The order has a charitable foundation that has contributed too many charities and not-for-profit organizations.
On Sunday, October 2, 2011 the New York State Order of the Eastern Star held a luncheon at the Italian American Club for members and invited guests. At this luncheon a check was presented to Hospice of Jefferson County in the amount of $5,000. Pictured from left to right is: the Most Worthy John Whitney, Grand Patron of the Order of Eastern Star, Steve Jennings, President of the Hospice Board of Directors, Lynn Dobbins, Development Assistant, Steve Lyman CEO, Hospice and the Most Worthy Janet Siano Grand Matron of the Order of Eastern Star. Hospice of Jefferson County is very grateful for their generosity.
