The “Benefit” program is a project started many years ago by the members of the Order of the Eastern Star in Delaware. The sole purpose, was and continues to be, to “make a difference” in the lives of our Children in Delaware with special needs. Money is generated by many projects: Ad and Booster Booklet, which is composed of advertisements from our commercial friends, well wishers; memorials; from luncheons, dinners, and other events held throughout the year. All labor, items for sale, and food is donated by the members throughout the state or local businesses. With the benevolent support of many, expenses are min-imized; thus the maximum is available for distribution to the children. Contribution amounts and recipients are generated from a “wish list” gathered from schools, agencies, churches and individuals which serve children with special needs throughout Delaware. Awards are distributed in May of each year. We thank each of our contributors, whether the donation is money, food, labor or moral support, for aiding this humanitarian endeavor.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING US MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN CHILDRENS LIVES WITH

SPECIAL NEEDS

From the East of the Grand Chapter of Delaware

Order of the Eastern Star

This work we have set out to do is an amazing opportunity for us. In this age of financial troubles, we are challenged in our efforts to raise monies to help those children here in Delaware who themselves face even more difficult chal-lenges each day.

You are to be commended in these efforts. Each year it gets harder and harder to raise a significant amount of funds to help all that we really need to help. Each year the list of children gets longer and longer and it becomes so disheartening when we cannot accommodate every-one’s needs.

However, we try harder each year to wind up the Benefit for Children with a better “bottom line” than we did the pre-vious year. Will we do that this year? We’ll have to wait and see.

I would ask every person, group or business who has placed an ad in this booklet this year to come and join us at Dover Downs Casino and Convention Center on Sun-day, May 10, 2015 for the presentation of the cash awards. It is a rejuvenator to be there and see the results of what we are doing and what a difference it can make. Stay tuned to our website for the time the ceremony will begin.

Thank you all for your hard work. The children of Dela-ware with special needs will be truly blessed through your efforts.

Bless you all!
