FROM THE DESK OF<br />
THE GRAND SECRETARY<br />
Sitting here at the desk thinking what to write about - the first<br />
thing that comes to mind is each month we lose some subscriptions.<br />
We need everyone to help if we are to keep publishing. Get your<br />
other members to subscribe - better yet, have your <strong>Lodge</strong> send the<br />
Magazine to all its members. Also, get your <strong>Lodge</strong> to take out a<br />
Roster ad. What better way to let everyone know where you are and<br />
when you meet.<br />
Last month we had a good-sized Magazine. This month, it is<br />
down again. We need you to keep the articles coming in. I do<br />
appreciate every one <strong>of</strong> you that send in material for our Magazine.<br />
The weather has really gotten warm, so get out and enjoy it - ,in<br />
the pool and all the other outdoor activities - just be careful.<br />
Fraternally, <br />
William L. Locke , <strong>Grand</strong> Secretary <br />

MEMORIAL DAY <br />
SERVICES <br />
About five years ago, Brother Charles<br />
Bailey asked the Department Council to<br />
have a group <strong>of</strong> Chevaliers and Ladies<br />
make up an Honor Guard to help with the<br />
Memorial Day Services at the <strong>Odd</strong> Fe'llow<br />
Cemetery in Tamaqua .<br />
Since that day, this has become a yearly<br />
affair for the Dept. Council. Each year we<br />
ask for volunteers to participate in this<br />
service - all YOll need is a class A or B<br />
uniform to take part. For the last three<br />
years, after we are finished with this service,<br />
the Chevaliers & Ladies travel from<br />
Tamaqua to Dauberville to Belleman's<br />
Church and form an Honor Guard to do<br />
a service at the old cemetery, then march<br />
to the new cemetery and do another service.<br />
At the service in the new cemetery, we<br />
have the Noble G rands <strong>of</strong> Leesport # 141<br />
& Lady Colfax #182 place <strong>Odd</strong> Fellow<br />
and Rebekah flags in honor <strong>of</strong> departed<br />
Brothers and Sisters. This year, Mother<br />
Nature was not cooperating with us so the<br />
service in Tamaqua was held in the Legion<br />
Home and the same was true at<br />
Belleman's Church.<br />
Noble G rand Laudine Stamm from<br />
Lady Colfax Rebekah #182 and Noble<br />
<strong>Grand</strong> Gerald Yerger from Leesport <strong>Lodge</strong><br />
# 141, placed <strong>Odd</strong> Fellow & Rebekah<br />
flags at the memorial at Belleman's<br />
Church.<br />
The following Chevaliers and Lady took<br />
part in the programs - Lady Myra Fay<br />
Adams, PDA; Maj. Gen. ® Maynard].<br />
Ernst, PDC; Brig. Gen. Nevin W. Adams,<br />
DC; Col. Leon S. Stamm, VPDC; Col.<br />
Donald T rulick, CS; Col. ® Arthur<br />
Moyer; Col. Harold Re iss, EO; Chev.<br />
Donald Serfass.<br />
We thank all the Brothers & Sisters<br />
that braved the weather and came out to<br />
support us and a very special thanks to the<br />
Chevaliers & Ladies in uniform for helping<br />
again this year.<br />
FOOD FOR <br />
THOUGHT <br />
"Finish each day and be done with it.<br />
You have done what you could; some<br />
blunders and absurdities have crept in;<br />
forget them as soon as you can. T omorrow<br />
is a new day; you shall begin it serenely<br />
and with too high a spirit to be<br />
encumbered with your old nonsense."<br />
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The 32nd Unified Session is history now. Members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Arthritis Committee were happy to see each <strong>of</strong> you and get to greet<br />
you. The Lobby tree at the<br />
Arthritis table was beautifully<br />
decorated with the<br />
"Christmas in June" bells.<br />
Saturday evening during<br />
Fun Night, we held the j udgingfor<br />
the winner. This year<br />
the prize was an <strong>Odd</strong> Fellow<br />
and Rebekah throw and the<br />
winner (and no, we didn't<br />
have a CPA firm certify the<br />
judging and bring out the<br />
envelope) was ... "Angel<br />
Aware" submitted by Lady<br />
Susannah Rebekah <strong>Lodge</strong><br />

Thanks to all who entered. It was a fun way to have you help us raise<br />
money for Arthritis.<br />
Our major project is<br />
focused in the Central<br />
Chapter region this<br />
year and we will be<br />
helping to bring the<br />
P.A.C.E. program to<br />
even more people.<br />
More information<br />

in the experience <strong>of</strong> a lifetime. Help the campers, kids with<br />
arthritis, with your donations. The 2003 theme was "Fantasy<br />
Island" and we'll be telling you about our opening day visit in the<br />
next issue. Don't forget to<br />
look at the poster "Kids<br />
Have Arthritis Too" and<br />
let it be a reminder that<br />
we need to be generous<br />
over the next year. The<br />
IOOF is recognized as a<br />
sponsor - right beside the<br />
United Way. Pretty impressive!<br />
It shows how<br />
important and appreciate<br />
we are by the three P A<br />

continue our commitment<br />
to those with arthritis.<br />

Wednesday , June 4, 1903<br />
The membership <strong>of</strong> Chester <strong>Lodge</strong> No. 32, <strong>Independent</strong> <strong>Order</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Odd</strong> Fellows, sampled a large and toothsome cake, presented<br />
with the compliments <strong>of</strong>William Rockenbeck <strong>of</strong> Third and Howell<br />
Streets, Chester. Rockenbeck took under his protective wing a<br />
young wife and wanted his brother <strong>Odd</strong> Fellows to get a little<br />
enjoyment out <strong>of</strong> the happy affair as well as himself, hence the cake.<br />
He's a well-known baker. Rockenbeck married Julia Lenny, a<br />
popular young lady <strong>of</strong> Chester, at St. Michael's Church.<br />

Jo Ann Merkle Savage, 16, daughter <strong>of</strong> Mr. and Mrs. Thomas<br />
Savage, 411 Elmwood Ave., Glenolden, won an essay contest<br />
sponsored by <strong>Odd</strong> Fellows and Rebekah Association. Her essay was<br />
entitled "Why I Should Like toSee the United Nations in Action."<br />
As a prize, she gets a free trip to the U.N. this summer.<br />
THANK YOU<br />
I would ilike to take this opportunity to thank the <strong>Odd</strong> Fellow<br />
and Rebekah organizations for the scholarship <strong>of</strong>$500. I would also<br />
like to thank the selection committee from the Education Fund for<br />
choosing me. This money will help tremendously with expenses<br />
during my second year <strong>of</strong> college, especially with the cost <strong>of</strong> books.<br />
I would also like to thank <strong>Odd</strong> Fellow <strong>Lodge</strong> #699 and Rebekah<br />
<strong>Lodge</strong> #74 for their support they have shown to my family and me<br />
in my journey to further my education.<br />
It is wonderful that there are organizations like the <strong>Odd</strong> Fellow's<br />
and Rebekah's that are willing to reach out and help people in<br />
need. This scholarship money (only one <strong>of</strong> the ways that <strong>Odd</strong><br />
Fellow's/Rebekah's give help) means a lot to students who have to<br />
count every penny to meet college expenses.<br />
Once again my thanks to all concerned .<br />
Sincerely, <br />
Scott D. Lees <br />

LESSONS LEARNED <br />
FROM NOAH'S ARK <br />
1. Don't miss the boat.<br />
2. Remember we're all in the same boat.<br />
3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.<br />
4. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask<br />
you to do something really big.<br />
5. Don't list to critics; just get on with the job that needs<br />
to be done.<br />
6. Build your future on high ground.<br />
7. For safety sake, travel in pairs.<br />
8. Speed isn't always an advantage. The Snails were on<br />
board with the Cheetahs.<br />
9. When you're stressed, float awhile.<br />
10. Remember the ark was built by amateurs; the 'TI<br />
T ANIC' was built hy pr<strong>of</strong>essionals.<br />
11. No matter the storm, when you're with GOD, there's<br />
always a rainbow waiting.<br />

As was mentioned in our last article <strong>of</strong> activities in our <strong>Lodge</strong><br />
meetings, we were all looking forward to our April meeting and<br />
Easter.<br />
Well, indeed, our Noble <strong>Grand</strong> did not let us down with her<br />
clever and crafty ideas for a special treat. Although she did not have<br />
the Easter Bunny hopping around the room, she did have a very<br />
attractive refreshment table decorated with two "Easter Bunny"<br />
coconut cakes and lots <strong>of</strong> other goodies to beautify the table.<br />
She presented each one present with a plastic Easter egg filled<br />
with homemade candy eggs made by members <strong>of</strong> the Senior Citizen<br />
Center in town.<br />
Our entertainment committee also did an excellent job <strong>of</strong><br />
providing readings and poems about Easter and the customs <strong>of</strong><br />
other Countries on how they celebrate Easter.<br />
There were also several games played.<br />
After our regulation meeting, we really did have a fun and<br />
friendly social time, and lots <strong>of</strong> goodies to eat.<br />
We are just trying to keep everyone happy and SMILING.<br />

8 THE PENNSYLVANIA ODD FELLOW <strong>Aug</strong>ust 2003<br />
I've never made a fortune, <br />
and it's probably too late now. <br />
But I don't worry about that much, <br />
I'm happy anyhow. <br />
And as I go along life's way, <br />
I'm reaping better than I sowed. <br />
I'm drinking from my saucer, <br />
'Cause my cup has overflowed. <br />
Haven't got a lot <strong>of</strong> riches, <br />
and sometimes the going's tough. <br />
But I've got loving ones all around me. <br />
and that makes me rich enough. <br />
I thank God for his blessings, <br />
and the mercies He's bestowed. <br />
I'm drinking from my saucer, <br />
'Cause my cup has overflowed. <br />
MY CUP HAS OVERFLOWED <br />
I remember times when things went wrong, <br />
My faith wore somewhat thin. <br />
But all at once the dark clouds broke, <br />
and the sun peeped through again. <br />
So Lord, help me not to grips, <br />
about the tough rows I have hoed. <br />
I'm drinking from my saucer, <br />
'Cause my cups has overflowed. <br />
If God gives me strength and courage, <br />
When the way grows steep and rough. <br />
I'll not ask for other blessings, <br />
I'm already blessed enough. <br />
And may I never be too busy, <br />
to help others bear their loads. <br />
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer, <br />
'Cause my cup has overflowed.<br />
