letter from the grand worthy matron

To the Members of Unity Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, Prince Hall Affiliation, State of Wisconsin,

As we cross the threshold into the fourth quarter of the year, I am filled with immense gratitude for the unwavering devotion and resilience each of you has displayed. This season brings crisp winds, falling leaves, and a natural time of reflection. It prompts us to look back on our journey over the past months and look forward to the sacred holiday season ahead. It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your Grand Worthy Matron, and I thank you deeply for your continued trust and partnership.

The fourth quarter is traditionally a time of harvest, thanksgiving, and concentrated charity. As Eastern Stars, this is our season to shine brightest in our communities. Let us remember the foundational lessons of our heroines—Adah, Ruth, Esther, Martha, and Electa—embodying fidelity, constancy, loyalty, faith, and love. I urge every subordinate chapter within our jurisdiction to redouble your efforts toward charitable giving, feeding the hungry, and clothing those in need as winter approaches. 

Sisters and Brothers, let us finish this year stronger than we began it. Let our lodges and chapters remain sanctuaries of encouragement, unity, and genuine sisterhood. May the blessings of the Almighty rest upon you and your families, providing warmth, health, and peace throughout the remainder of the year.

Fraternally,

Taahiraa S. Thomas
