Noon Notebook: Lubbock Chapter 76 “Legacy Of Friendship” Boston Tea Party Celebration - KCBD
Lubbock Chapter 76 of the Order of the Eastern Star is throwing a Boston Tea Party-themed fundraiser on October 4, 2026, to mark 125 years of the organization's presence in Lubbock. The event, titled "Legacy Of Friendship: The Light Continues To Shine," runs at 1 p.m.
The event, titled "Legacy Of Friendship: The Light Continues To Shine," runs at 1 p.m. At South Plains Shrine Club at 7412 83rd Street. Tickets are $15 per person. The chapter is one of the oldest continuously operating fraternal organizations in the city, and the anniversary marks a century and a quarter of what the group describes as faith, friendship, fellowship, charity, and service here.
Money raised goes directly toward the chapter's benevolent programs and scholarships, including awards in general education, music, and ESTARL ministry. For students in Lubbock who qualify, that's real financial support from an organization that's been writing those checks longer than most local institutions have existed.
Not many Lubbock organizations can say they were here before the city had paved roads.
