THANK YOUS

Assembly for her contribution to the library of Odd Fellow magazines – (Sep., Oct. & Nov. 1963 and Jan., Feb. & Mar. 1964).

I would like to sincerely thank you all for your contribution to my education. A few years ago, your organization sent me on the United Nations Pilgrimage for Youth, and this scholarship is another wonderful act of kindness that you have shown me. This money will be very helpful in paying for my books this coming semester. I am incredibly grateful for this award. Thank you!

Mary Pechulis

I would like to thank the Odd Fellow and Rebekah Lodges of Pennsylvania for the generous scholarship that I received. I appreciate your recognition of my achievements academically and socially as well as my involvement in my community. The scholarship that I received was used towards books for this coming semester. I am truly appreciative of your generosity and would just like to say thank you again.

Cara Elias

I was thrilled to receive the $500 scholarship award. I am still attending Millersville University majoring in math educations. I will apply this money to my tuition this fall. My father and grand father have been Odd Fellows for many years. They both were honored to hear that I received this scholarship. It is nice to know that the Odd Fellows support higher education and I very much appreciate this contribution to my personal education. I hope to teach math and help future generations of students not only in school but also in life. Again I wish to thank the Odd Fellow’s Organization and hope to see you continue your endeavors.

In Appreciation, Andrew Kamp

The 80th Pilgrimage to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers is scheduled to take place at Arlington National Cemetery, Sunday, May 5, 2013.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY

The Arthritis Committee hopes all of you are surviving the winter weather and as Valentine’s Day turns your thoughts to love for your special someone, you’ll remember to help the three PA Arthritis Foundation Chapters. They are looking to recruit help from the IOOF Lodges for their activities. You ask, “What can I do?” You can go to the local office and help with a mailing. You can help at the Registration table for one of their events. You can send a check to The Arthritis Committee to help us help those with Arthritis. We sure hope you’ll consider one of these suggestions! Things are a little slow at the Chapters for the winter months with actual activities, but they are planning a multitude of activities for the spring. Remember, every penny sent to The Arthritis Committee goes directly to the project specified.

V O L U N T E E R!

The Committee is selling chances to raise money for Camp JRA. Watch for the flyers and information or contact Robert Raffensberger at 215-257-2059. The items will be chanced off during Unified Session in June 2013.
