Order of the Eastern Star supports many programs

By Leanna Meers

The members of Serenity Chapter #113, Oyen, Order of the Eastern Star, are committed to supporting the youth in their local communities. This year, they are pleased to make donations to the nutritional programs in all of the schools in Oyen and surrounding areas, as well as the athletics program at South Central High School. In the past, they have reached the youth through donations to the Oyen Day Care, Oyen Minor Hockey, the Badlands Badgers Baseball Academy, and the public libraries in Oyen, Acadia Valley, and Cereal.

They recently contributed to the Oyen Food Bank, Oyen Ministerial Association, and the New Brigden Hall fund, among other organizations.
