On Nov. 20, 1999, Eastern Star members, residents, and their families gathered for the Second Annual Eastern Star Festival and Luncheon at the Masonic Homes in Elizabethtown.
Eleven Eastern Star chapters participated in the festival, themed "Sweets for the Sweet." Visitors had the opportunity to take bus tours of the campus and purchase a variety of items, including homemade baked goods, handicrafts and baskets full of edible treats, and other products.
The Eastern Star Festival raised approximately $7,000 for the Masonic Homes. Those funds will be used to purchase items to enhance the quality of life for the residents.
Proceeds from last year's festival went toward the purchase of a new computer for the Adult Daily Living Center and a magnifying reader for the Grand Lodge Hall library, among other gifts.
Following the festival, 288 guests attended the sold-out Eastern Star Luncheon. |
