faith, love, and fidelity speak across the centuries to the enduring
values of the Order; and

and

Sunshine Chapter No. 34 continues to uphold the highest traditions of
the Order, fostering a spirit of sisterhood, mentorship, and community
investment that reflects the finest ideals of the Prince Hall fraternal
