Appendant Bodies Of Freemasonry

There are several wonderful appending bodies that are located in the Shenandoah Valley near Winchester, Virginia.   The McKinley Chapter of the Eastern Star is located in Winchester Hiram #21 Blue Lodge as well as the John Dove Chapter 21 of the Royal Arch Mason  and Commandry 12 Order of Knights Templar.

As the Master Mason dedicates his life to charity, religion, harmony, and peace so does the members of the appending bodies.  The men and women of the Eastern Star work with in the community to raise money for charitable cause throughout the Shenandoah Valley.  There is no longer a Winchester Shrine Club. However, there still are shriners in the area who are willing to provide transportation to the free Shriner’s hospitals for children.  The Chapter supports the Alzheimer’s Foundation and the Commandry raises money for the Knight Templar Eye Foundation and Holy Land pilgrimage Fund.
