Today, members of Scottsburg Lodge No. 555 and Ida Rebekah Lodge No. 333 came together to enjoy fellowship, friendship, and dinner, continuing the strong bonds that make our fraternal family so special.

A highlight of the gathering was the presentation of the Meritorious Award to Harriet Bower by Judy Tekulve, President of the Rebekah Assembly of Indiana. This well-deserved recognition honors Harriet’s many years of dedicated service to the Rebekahs, her volunteer work at the Salem Hospital, and her years of faithful service to her church.

Harriet’s commitment to helping others is a wonderful example of the values our fraternal organizations strive to uphold: Friendship, Love, and Truth. Her service reminds us that the true strength of our organizations lies not only in our fellowship, but also in the difference we make in the lives of others and in our communities.

Please join us in congratulating Harriet Bower on this outstanding and well-deserved honor, and thank you to everyone who came together today to celebrate fellowship, service, and the enduring bonds of our fraternal family.

We are proud to congratulate eight new members who successfully completed all of the degree work. It was an honor to witness their dedication as they learned the traditions, lessons, signs, and symbols of our Order.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Kenny Spence for helping teach the class and sharing his knowledge of the signs, symbols, and lessons of Odd Fellowship. We also want to recognize John Lizenby for taking care of the meal and making sure everyone was well fed throughout the day.

Special appreciation goes to Randal Applegate and Mike Davisson, who handled the clerical responsibilities, issued the dues cards, and presented each new member with their Three Links pin. The hard work of John, Randal, and Mike was instrumental in preparing for and ensuring the success of this Degree Day.
