I hope that you all have had a joyous holiday season and a happy New Year.
It is hard to believe that it is January already and the New Year is upon us.
Let us remember how good the past year in Odd Fellowship was and let us make this year even better.
Remember that even though the holiday season is over there are still lodge and community members that are still in need.
The winter season is has not really come upon us yet and people will need to stay warm.
How about holding a community fund raiser and donating the proceeds to fuel assistance program in your community.With the State cut backs and budget cuts there are more applications for assistance this year than ever.
Make a donation to the program from the lodge.It does not even need to be monetary in nature.The lodge could buy wood and have it delivered to a person who needs it or buy a tank of fuel or gas for and do the same thing.What a nice way to spread the joys of Odd Fellowship.
The annual session is rapidly approaching us.It would be nice to have as many members present as possible this year.Remember if you don’t go and vote then you have no voice what is passed at session.
Any member who is a Past Noble Grand is eligible to take the Grand Lodge Degree.The degree will be offered every day if there are candidates present. And any third degree member is able to attend once session is lowered to the third degree.
Winston Churchill once said “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”
Let us have nothing to fear in Odd Fellowship either.
