2018-2019 Grand Chapter Projects
Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center
We will support the Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center by supporting Dr. Lucie Turcotte in her research of reoccurring childhood cancer.
The Order of the Eastern Star has a long standing relationship with the University of Minnesota, supporting Cancer Research, and we are honored to continue that support.
We are also bringing back the "Tie-One On" project, to make lap robes for the Masonic Cancer Center and the Minnesota Masonic Home.
Scholarships
We will, of course, continue the support of our Grand Chapter Scholarships.
ESTARLfor those pursing leadership in religious fields;
M. Josephine Ruhsam for graduating high school seniors heading off to post-secondary education in colleges, universities, trade, vocational, and technical schools and academies;
The Pat Rasmusson Continuing Education Scholarship is for students who are not covered by the other two scholarships, and which seeks to assist those students who often have no scholarship resources.
Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital
The University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital project is to donate sweatpants/shirts and socks/underwear for the behavioral unit. These are mostly teenagers so we will need adult sizes, small to large. We will also continue the pillowcases, snack bags, and anything that we have done in the past. Jan and Art Lingo will see that these items get to the hospital.

Participate in and support youth organizations with an emphasis on Job's Daughters and DeMolay, but also including Boy/Girl Scouts, church groups, etc. Take pictures and write up about your participation.

This is a 5 year project, each year will have a star of the next color in the sequence of our star points.
