Dear Odd Fellows and Pledges,
As Noble Grand, here are my Committee Chair appointments for 2015. Currently, we have 32 committees in the Lodge! Every member of this Lodge and every Pledge should serve on at least one of our Committees. I urge you to pick a committee (or two) that really interest you, and let me know in response to this e-mail. I will pass your name along to the Chair or Co-Chairs.
Some Committees could really use some volunteers! In particular, we need more volunteer members on the Bingo Committee, Community Support Committee, Good Fellowship Committee, Social Services Committee, Living Legacy Committee, Senior Project Committee, Picnic Day Breakfast Committee, Picnic Day Float Committee, Breakfast with the Bunny Committee, Photography Committee, Taste of Davis Committee, and Lodge 145th Lodge Birthday Party Committee. Most committees are self-explanatory based on their names. But a few need further explanation: Good Fellowship plans and executes fun events for the members of the Lodge (such as Club Night at the Lodge, and bus trips). Social Services works to help persons with mental health issues and also very-low income persons. Living Legacy is working on tree projects and environmental projects. Senior Project helps frail seniors with projects in their homes. Picnic Day Float Committee will build an Odd Fellows float for the Picnic Day Parade. If you have questions about any of our committees, please let me know.
