Welcome to Liya Chapter #2, Sister Emani Renee Lee! We look forward to sharing in fellowship, service, and Sisterly Love as we make a difference together.

Today, Liya Chapter #2 and Shades of Eboney honor the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, mentors, and father figures whose love, strength, wisdom, and guidance help shape our families and communities.

"A father's greatest legacy is not what he leaves behind, but the lives he inspires through love, integrity, and unwavering support."

Thank you for your sacrifices, your leadership, and the example you set every day. Wishing you a Father's Day filled with love, joy, and the appreciation you so richly deserve.

Happy Father's Day from Liya Chapter #2 OES & Shades of Eboney! 💙👔

Happy Juneteenth from Liya Chapter #2, Order of the Eastern Star! ❤️💛💚🖤

Today we celebrate freedom, honor the strength and resilience of those who came before us, and reflect on the continued journey toward justice and equality.

As sisters united in Sisterly Love, we remain committed to uplifting our communities through service, compassion, and unity. May we continue to inspire hope, preserve our history, and create a brighter future for generations to come.

Happy Juneteenth! May we celebrate our past, embrace our present, and continue building a future filled with freedom, love, and opportunity for all.

Over the past few weeks, Liya Chapter #2 has been serving our community and strengthening the bonds of sisterhood. We proudly participated in and donated to the Bubble Run and the National Kidney Foundation Walk for Kidneys, supporting causes that make a difference.

We also had the joy of celebrating with our own Sister Darlene Smith-Lee and her husband on their 32nd Wedding Anniversary.

Whether serving others or celebrating life's special moments, we continue to build lasting bonds rooted in love, support, and friendship. That's the power of Sisterly Love. 💙✨

Liya Chapter #2 OES and Shades of Eboney pause this Memorial Day to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country. 🇺🇸

Because of their courage, dedication, and selfless service, we continue to enjoy the freedoms we hold dear today. Their legacy lives on in our hearts, and their sacrifices will never be forgotten.

As we gather with family and friends, let us also reflect with gratitude and reverence for those who gave everything for our nation.

❤️🤍💙 “Freedom is never free.” ❤️🤍💙

With Sisterly Love,
Liya Chapter #2 OES & Shades of Eboney

Liya Chapter #2 had an awesome weekend filled with Sisterly Love, fellowship, and support! 💙💛

On Saturday, we proudly supported our sister Chapter, Elizabeth #8, at their fun and festive All Things Converse Party. It was a wonderful evening of laughter, connection, and celebrating the bonds that unite us as Sisters.

We continued the celebration on Sunday at the Queen Beatrice Grand Chapter 57th Anniversary event themed, “Stepping Boldly Through Our Purpose – Strengthened Through Time.” What a powerful reminder that through the years, our commitment to service, love, unity, and uplifting one another continues to grow stronger.

This weekend beautifully reflected Liya Chapter #2’s 2026 theme of “Sisterly Love.” Whether fellowship, supporting one another’s events, or standing united in purpose, Sisterly Love remains the foundation that keeps us connected and strengthened through time.

Please join Liya Chapter #2 in wishing Sister Tan Crittenden a very Happy Birthday with wishes of many more to come. Enjoy your day beautiful!
