The membership composition of THE Viola Hart-Felton Chapter No. 584 is a complex, multi-faceted group of women and men. We Are… Victorious… Idealistic… Blessed… Resolute… Accountable… Natty… Talented. Overarching in definition, We Are VIBRANT. As with the journey through this labyrinth of human life, there are ebbs and flows which will create an intrinsic balance that will perpetuate our success.
From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. The Order of the Eastern Star is a system of Charity, Truth, and Loving Kindness. With this understanding, we must ensure that ‘HOME’ is foremost tended.
Wellness is defined as the quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, especially as the result of deliberate effort. Self care is not always at the top of one’s list but, we will strengthen the chapter membership (Sisters and Brothers); impart knowledge that will stimulate member autonomy; cultivate personal growth that extends beyond our chapter members and events; focus our S.M.A.R.T. goals to the areas of financial, physical, and intellectual matters. With first taking care of membership, it will allow our wellness efforts to promote the enrichment of the community of which we are chartered – the city of Riverdale – to flourish vastly. This will be seen through our involvement with the youth and the more ‘seasoned’ citizens. Procurement and engaging in a Non-Profit designation will allow us to catapult our prosperity and expand the impactfulness with our community partnerships. Through collaboration with our Masonic brother lodge, Port Royal Scott Lodge. No. 591, the acquisition of a building to host our meetings and events will foster financial solace. The objectives of Wellness, Nonprofit Procurement, and Building Acquisition for this 2024 administration are hefty and, with exemplary fortitude, we will exceed them.
Our altitude is a direct derivative of our attitudes. Simon Sinek stated “Intelligence uses the known to solve problems. Creativity uses the unknown to discover possibilities.” The members of Viola Hart-Felton Chapter No. 584 will use a mixture of intelligence and creativity as we journey this administrative year to continue shining brightly because We Are…VIBRANT!
