The Order Eastern Star (OES) Soup and Pie luncheon was held Wednesday, March 4 at the Masonic Temple in Armour. The luncheon started as a salad luncheon in 2004. As the memberships have gotten older the salad luncheon switched to the soup and pie luncheon in 2006. Members donated food and made chili and chicken noodle soup along with different kinds of pie. This is one of the bigger fundraisers to help with scholarships for children or grandchildren of the members and help with repairs through out the year.
