The members of the Eastern Star of DeKalb Chapter # 488 recently participated in a statewide project to help communities by providing bottled water to First Responders and Police organizations located throughout the area. Water was delivered to the Liberty Fire Department, Alexandria Police, Fire and EMS Departments, Gassaway Fire Department and Smith County EMS.
According to a spokesperson, it is the desire of the local DeKalb Chapter #488 Order of Eastern Star to be involved and helpful to the different service departments in our community. The Tennessee Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star suggested one way to perform this was to provide water to those service organizations within our chapter area. The project was very successful and allowed DeKalb Chapter #488 to express our sincere appreciation to the organizations for the many hours they spend in service to our communities.
