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 />

Laura J. Locke, <br />

Assembly 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 />

winner (and no, we didn't<br />

have a CPA firm certify the<br />

judging and bring out the<br />

envelope) was ... "Angel<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 />

let it be a reminder that<br />

we need to be generous<br />

over the next year. The<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 />

Delaware County Times<br />

Tuesday, March 25 , 2003<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 />
