Walker <strong>Lodge</strong>. Accompanying<br />
him were several <strong>of</strong> his appointed<br />

<strong>Grand</strong> Master Cupp spoke about his goals for <strong>Odd</strong> Fellowship<br />
during his term and accomplishments to date. He presented<br />
Walker <strong>Lodge</strong> Noble <strong>Grand</strong>, Jennifer Leah Rosa, with DVDs <strong>of</strong>the<br />
<strong>Odd</strong> Fellow documents that have been electronically reproduced<br />
to date as well as copies <strong>of</strong> the DVD introducing <strong>Odd</strong> Fellowship<br />
that he asked all members to take and share with friends or relatives<br />
to peak their interest in membership. Bumper stickers with the PA<br />
lOOF website uri are on order as are lawn signs. It is important for<br />
us to increase membership if we as an organization are going to<br />
thrive and continue the practices <strong>of</strong><strong>Odd</strong> Fellowship in the coming<br />
years. The education and instruction<br />
<strong>of</strong> current members<br />
and lodge <strong>of</strong>ficers is also important<br />
so that the history is not<br />
lost. To that end, the manual<br />
for <strong>Lodge</strong> Secretaries has been<br />
printed, complete with necessary<br />
forms and instructions as<br />
to purpose and how to complete,<br />
and Deputy <strong>Grand</strong> Master<br />
Brenneman will be holding<br />
instructional seminars throughout<br />
the Jurisdiction over the<br />
next few months. The manual<br />
for District Deputies is also in<br />
process and seminars will be<br />
held for them as soon as it is<br />
ready.
