I learned Today at my Board Meeting fellow
Odd Fellow Brother, Ron Fowle, passed away this past Wednesday. Many of us knew that Ron had been unwell for quite some time, and while we are saddened by his loss.

I extend my deepest condolences to Mary and the entire family during this difficult time. Ron will be greatly missed at Brooklin Lodge # 133. He was not only my cribbage partner during our pool and cribbage tournaments, but he was also a cherished friend who asked me how was doing after Mom passed away. And said if needed something to give a call.

Sure, Ron had a knack for being a bit of a pain at times, but that was just who he was—his unique spirit and humor were a large part of his charm. Our initiatory degree reminds us to look beyond the surface and recognize the true essence of a person, and Ron embodied that lesson wholeheartedly. He was someone who taught us that what lies within can reveal a depth of character and warmth that we may not see at first glance.

So today, let us celebrate Ron's life and the impact he had on each of us. May he rest in peace.

At Brooklin Lodge #133 this evening, we had a wonderful installation ceremony in our home lodge. DDGM Barney Limeburner did an excellent job installing all of us. A special thanks to Neil Allen for preparing the delicious fish chowder, and to Grand Treasurer of the Encampment Jerrold Farnham for joining us this evening and capturing these memories with his photography.

We invite everyone to join us for supper any Monday night—you are all welcome! We are always looking for cribbage and pool players, so feel free to stop by!

Subject: Request for Basket Donation for Good Shepherd Food Bank

Hello my Rebekah’s Sisters

I hope this message finds you well! I’m reaching out because I’m organizing my Session on October 18-19 in Waterville, and I plan to hold Basket Raffles to support the Good Shepherd Food Bank.

I was wondering if Rebekah’s Lodges could help by donating a basket. I apologize for the short notice—I'm aware this is only a month in advance—but any support would be greatly appreciated.

If you could let me know if this is possible, either by message or a quick call, I would greatly appreciate it. It will help me plan accordingly.

Thank you so much for considering this!
