Message from the High Priestess

Welcome to Zulekia Court #35
Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America
Chesapeake, Virginia

We’re truly delighted that you’re taking the time to learn more about our organization.

Zulekia Court #35 is part of the Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America, a sisterhood rooted in fellowship, service, and a shared commitment to helping others. Based in Chesapeake, Virginia, we proudly support Shriners Children’s as our main philanthropy—raising funds and awareness to help children receive life-changing care, regardless of their families’ ability to pay.

At our core, we believe in fun, friendship, and the power of unity. We support one another not just in service, but in life—uplifting and encouraging every sister to grow and give back.

As Helen Keller once said,
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

That spirit of collaboration is what defines us—and what enables us to accomplish truly meaningful work.

I warmly encourage you to learn more about our mission and join us in making a difference.

Sincerely,

Lady Cheryl Valeriano, High Priestess
