Moments from lodge life
Activities are at the core of successful lodges. Here are some that were recently held at Grand Lodge.
Every meeting is an activity
If a member finds it interesting and enjoyable to attend lodge, no one will have to solicit their attendance. They will come because they want to. Guests should be encouraged to come to public lodge functions, and programs can be planned that attract members as well as non-members. This is true whether it is a regular meeting, an installation, a degree or a visit with another lodge, and the Grand Lodge is no different.
Installation of officers, 2023-2024
Installation of officers was held for the Grand Lodge of Missouri and the Rebekah Assembly of Missouri. Installed as elected officers of the Grand Lodge: Bob Stump as Grand Master, Ray White as Deputy Grand Master, Les Houston as Grand Warden, Anna Martin as Grand Secretary and Dixie Collins as Grand Treasurer. Installed into elected office for the Rebekah Assembly of Missouri: Peggy Rice, President; Beverly Parr, Vice President; Carol Schultheis, Secretary; Hope Siegworth, Warden; Lorraine Kerschner, Treasurer.
Banquet and pizza evening
A banquet was held in honor of Grand Master Gene Collins and Grand Secretary Kenneth Higgins for their hard work and contributions to the Missouri Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Grand Master Gene Collins and his wife Dixie also hosted an evening with members of Grand Lodge. Delicious pizza was served and a good time was had by all.
In memoriam
Throughout our lives we make many new friends, and some become part of the family. Unfortunately there also comes a time when we must say goodbye to them because they have departed this life. The death of a friend leaves us with a taste of sorrow, and that feeling is even harder for their families to get over.
There is a seat for you at the lodge.
Tell us where you live and what interests you. We will connect you with a lodge near you.
