A senate RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR the Prince Hall Grand Chapter 
of the Order of the Eastern Star.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate are pleased to recognize the Prince Hall Grand 
Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star for their generous charitable efforts 
to support the people of South Carolina; and

Whereas, established in 
1850 by attorney and educator Rob Morris, a former Freemason official, the Order 
of the Eastern Star is the largest fraternal organization in the world open to 
both men and women. The order is based on teachings from the Bible but is open 
to people of all religious beliefs; and

Whereas, the Grand 
Chapter was organized by Dr. Charles Catlett Johnson and other interested Free 
and Accepted Masons of South Carolina and their wives during that year. Dr. 
Johnson was the Most Worshipful Grand Master for the jurisdiction of South 
Carolina at that time; and

Whereas, the Grand 
Chapter has a history of strong leadership, with seventeen Grand Worthy Matrons, 
the current of whom is Grand Worthy Matron Mary M. Ennis, and fifteen Grand 
Worthy Patrons, the current of whom is Grand Worthy Patron Brother Jermaine C. 
Nowline; and

Whereas, in addition to 
providing scholarship funds, the Grand Chapter supports numerous charities, 
including back-to-school drives, coat drives, food giveaways, walks and marches 
supporting research for Alzheimer's, sickle cell anemia, breast cancer awareness, 
visits to schools as classroom buddies, and blessing boxes, among others; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate greatly appreciate the dedication and commitment that 
the Prince Hall Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star has shown in 
serving the people and the State of South Carolina. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and honor 
the Prince Hall Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to Grand Worthy Matron Mary M. Ennis and Grand Worthy 
Patron Brother Jermaine C. Nowline of the Prince Hall Grand Chapter of the 
Order of the Eastern Star.
