Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box
upon a shelf. The good you do for others
is good you do yourself...~Norman Wesley Brooks

Winter is here! December, the
last month of 2015. Did we accom-
plish what we wanted to accomplish
this year? Did we even get started
on what we wanted to accomplish?
Sometimes we mean well, but we
get side-tracked by life. Since this is
the time of the year we reflect, let’s
reflect on this last year for our Lodges. Did we set goals
to even know where we wanted to be at the end of the
year? The reason we set goals and write them down is
to be able to see where we are at any time in our endeav-
ors. So as we look back on this year, if we did not set
any goals now would be the time to do so. We can still
make a difference before our sessions in May.
As I have traveled to Lodges I find many of the
Lodges need to set some membership goals. However,
there are some problems that are creating issues with
membership. The main problem is ATTITUDE. Not
attitude against members but an attitude that there is
nothing the Lodges can do. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT
YOU CAN OR YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN’T,
YOU ARE PROBABLY RIGHT.
One of the first things I have noticed is most of our
members do not know how to tell the general public
what we do as Lodges. Another issue seems to be dele-
gation of responsibilities. We tend to do everything our-
selves and say “if you want it done right do it yourself”
rather than to give others a chance to help. Sometimes
we have a tendency to try to shorten our meetings too
much and a newer member isn’t able to make heads or
tails of what is going on. In order to address some of
these issues we will be offering some workshops to
Lodges to help with these and other issues. Watch for
dates to be set up this spring. If your Lodge would be
interested in hosting a workshop please let me know.
We will have more information on these later. We also
are working on a grant writing workshop. I have been
asked if there is someone who can help lodges with
grants, so, I am putting that together also.
As we look to a new year let us work together to
make a difference not only in our communities but in our
lodges so our lodges can grow and prosper. Elsewhere
in the paper I am including the first 25 of 100 commu-
nity involvement ideas. I have been asked for ideas as I
have visited Lodges. This list was presented to the
Sovereign Grand Lodge this last year by the Revitaliza-
tion Committee and I am passing the information on to
you.
I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a re-
newed spirit for a prosperous new year.
Happy Holidays,
Sheryl Rohde, Grand Master
100 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IDEAS
Provide an activity packet to include coloring books,
crayons, puzzle books etc., to be given to chidren in the
local hospital. Remember to include information about
your local lodge.
Sponsor a booth at your county fair or festival of
your hometown and provide free water and have
handouts about your local lodge.
Put together snack packs/travel size toiletry items to
be given to families of patients in ICU at the hospital
all the while working as a volunteer at the hospital.
Remember to include information about your local
lodge with the items.
Volunteer at your local library to provide tutoring to
at risk students in the local schools. WE have a pro-
gram here called CAPS. (Children Are People) that
provides this type of help. Our Local lodges provide
school supplies on an ongoing basis.
Open your lodge hall for use of community func-
tions.
Sponsor a “Make a Difference Dinner” and invite
those within your community who have “made a dif-
ference”
Have an open house at the Lodge hall and invite the
community to come and learn about the Order.
Sponsor a local Scout Troop/ Youth Sports Team.
Participate in Adopt A Highway. For those not fa-
miliar with this, your organization agrees to pick up
trash along a section of highway at least quarterly
and you get your name on a highway sign that says
“Adopt-A-Highway” and the organization’s name.
If your community has a Volunteer Fire Department
sponsor a fundraising event to help raise funds for
equipment.
Participate in several parades, city, community, every
year. If there are no parades, organize one to cele-
brate various holidays. (St. Patricks, Christmas, etc.)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the
cards, phone calls, get-well wishes, thoughts and

Drive, Vancouver, WA 98664. I will be here at least
a month while I gradually put weight on my right leg as
directed by the doctor. One of my greatest incen-

Thanks again, sisters and brothers!

Dear Matriarchs,
I am sorry that I did not
get my article into last
months Oregon Pacific Odd
Fellow. I have only made
one visitation so far and it
was to the Coast Fork Ladies
Encampment at Myrtle Creek
on October 22nd. What a great
group they have. I will be making my next visit Frid-
day, December 18th at Wimawhala Ladies Encampment
Auxiliary.
Eugene Ladies Encampment has changed their meet-
ing nights from the first Friday to the third Friday of
each month, except July and August.
I WISH EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU A
WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON.
In Faith, Hope and Charity,
Cassatina Barnes, Grand Matriarch
Greetings Patriarchs,
In my travels to the different En-
campments I’ve discovered that
each lodge is unique in its own way.
They all give back to their commu-
nities. One lodge sells firewood to
raise money for the needy. During
the winter it is especially important
to take care of those less fortunate. Keep up the good
work.
I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year!
In Faith, Hope and Charity,
Jerry Broaddus, Grand Patriarch
Whose heart doth hold the Christmas glow
Hath little need of Mistletoe;
Who bears a smiling grace of mien
Need waste no time on wreaths of green;
Whose lips have words of comfort spread
Needs not the holly-berries red—
His very presence scatters wide
The spirit of the Christmastide. ~John Kendrick Bangs

Brothers and Sisters,
First off I would like to wish
you and your family and friends a
very Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.
Please help aid and assist those
who may be in need so that their
Christmas can be fun-filled. Please
remember to visit the sick and relieve the distressed. It
means so much for those in need when we offer our
support.
Please say a special prayer for the Men and Women
of our United States Armed Forces who are on
duty protecting our liberty.
Northwest Odd Fellows was a great event with lots
of fellowship and fun. We were entertained by a very
funny man who told jokes and sang songs while play-
ing his accordion. If you have never been to a North-
west meeting then you must go and see and hear for
yourself all of the interesting ideas. We had dignitaries
from British Columbia, Idaho, Oregon and Washing-
ton. These events are held twice a year, one in April
and the other in November. The Jurisdictions bring to-
gether many thoughts and ideas.
You will be receiving your annual report forms
soon. Please remember they are due in the Grand
Lodge office by January 31, 2016. If you have any
questions or need any help please call me. Remember I
am here to assist all of the Lodges.
Ronald Kunze, Grand Secretary
Seasons greetings to all my sisters
and brothers,
I wish all of you the very best
holiday season. Remember to take
time to relax and enjoy your fam-
ily and friends. Keep in mind that
we have brothers and sisters who
may not have family close by and
you could be the one to help them have a happier holi-
day season.
I was able to attend Northwest this last month with
two of my granddaughters who are Theta Rho mem-
bers. The girls had a good time. They had a wonderful
time at the banquet getting to know Ron Kunze and
Gary Kniss better. Thank you to all of the Oregon Re-
bekah and Grand Lodge members who make the Theta
Rho girls feel so welcome each time you see them.
Lodges should have received their annual report
forms and due to the problems with the forms we used
last year we are returning to the forms used in previous
years. Please give me a call if you have any questions
or problems with completing your report.
Again happy holidays to each of you,

Merry Christmas from all of us here at the Park.
Thank you all for your support this last year. We have
seen many new faces and a few that we have not seen in
quite a while.
The fencing is finally complete and again we thank
everyone for their generous donations. Our ice machine
has died and we are slowly getting donations. We hope
to have a new machine by Spring Fling.
Just a reminder that as of January 1, 2016 the rates
will be as follows:
Members $30.00 per night
with current Jones Reward Card $20.00 per night
Guest $40.00 per night
Tent Site Member $20.00 per night
Tent Site Guest $25.00 per night
As utility rates increase we have tried to hold off do-
ing a rate increase, but it has become necessary to raise
the rate to meet expenses. Thank you for your under-
standing. Call the office if you have any questions.
Please call and check on your reservations for next
year as we now have everyone transferred to the new
2016 book.
We are looking forward to a great new year and hope
to see you all soon.
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL.

Klamath Lodge No. 137 met on October 13th with
Grand Master, Sheryl Rohde making her official visit.
We initiated 4 new members, Edith (Edie) Brown-
Vieyra, Judy Plowman, Troy Miller and Curtis Miller.
Members from the Rogue Valley area also came over
to assist with the initiation and the 3 degrees. We had
two other members that also received the degrees, they
were Wayne Lahoda and Vieva Colahan. This initiation
almost doubled our members that are able to attend
lodge. In the last couple of months, we have also rein-
stated two members who had dropped out. They are
Lindarose Conner and Norma Richardson.
There are three generations in one family in this group.
Judy Plowman is the mother of Troy Miller, and Troy
Miller is the father of Curtis Miller.
We have sent out information to send a student on
the UNEP and have received two responses so far.
The Grand Master wanted to thank the Grand Mar-
shal Kenneth Carr, PGM Lloyd Stiewig, Kathy Stewart,
and Jack Frost for answering the call when Klamath
Falls asked for help.
Last week the wine club met, had a fantastic dinner
and fellowship. Not all people in these photos are mem-
bers. This is one way Grants Pass is opening its lodge to
the community and getting the community in to the
lodge. It's a great tool for recruiting. Start a wine club in
your lodge. Ask non-members to come to it, discuss Odd
Fellowship over a bottle of wine.

Our October Halloween meeting was celebrated with
a “pizza party” and assortment of costume dressed gob-
lins. A fun time was had by all. Members received a
treat from the head Goblin.
The first meeting in November we celebrated Kath-
leen Swigart’s 70th year belonging to the Rebekah Or-
der. Edith Brown presented Kathleen with her Veteran
Jewel. Janice Straub, Secretary read Kathleen’s history
with the Rebekahs
beginning with
her joining Silver
Leaf through con-
sol idat ion to
Shamrock. Also
read was the
meaning of the
Veteran’s Jewel. Noble Grand Joyce Steiner read a
congratulatory, written by Inez Kennedy. Kathleen also
received a plant, card and cake from the members. Pic-
tured above is Edith pinning Kathleen’s Veteran’s
Jewel.
Also in November, Joyce and Janice celebrated their
55th year as Rebekahs. Two of our members, Robert
Worthington and Claus Sheer were recognized as Mili-
tary Veterans. At our next meeting we held a special
celebration for Veteran’s month.
Come join us on the 1st and 3rd Mondays at 12:00,

serts are provided.

That is correct. These fine ladies came together to
beautify the outside of Jacksonville Lodge by planting
flowers, trimming trees, raking leaves and mowing the
lawn. They're taking the Grand Master’s words of wis-
dom to heart. “Clean up your lodge show the people of
your community that you're still a vital part of it…”.
Looking good ladies and I personally would like to
thank you.

Eta Theta Rho has had a busy couple of months.

kins. November 14th showed us at a special meet-
ing where President Faith made her official visit.

There has been some confusion about the
Grand Secretary’s letter in the November Oregon
Pacific Odd Fellow. He was requesting that any-
one who has the option to use email please do. If
you receive it in the regular mail and want to con-
tinue, you will, unless you tell us otherwise.
We’ve had many calls and letters and we apolo-
gize for the confusion.
Despite torrential rain and flooded streets, Peninsula
Lodge No. 128 in North Portland still had 61 children
attend our Halloween carnival this year! Each child
wrote the name of their school on a slip of paper when
they entered. At our Nov. 10th regular meeting, Pen-
insula voted to donate ALL the moneys raised to the
PTA chapters of those schools. Each PTA will receive
a check equaling $12 for every child that attended from
their school. In addition to the many Odd Fellow vol-
unteers, there were also five Masons from Mt. Moriah
Grand Lodge, and six volunteers from the local non-
profit PDX Browncoats on hand to run games and sell
refreshments. It was a great event and fun was had by
all.

Last month after the OPOF was sent out I started going through some boxes that were brought back from the Lodge
hall in Odell. There were a lot of papers that were very old, which I love to read to see what was going on. Kemp
Lodge had quite a few members overseas during World War Two and they kept in touch with the lodge while they
were away. To honor Veterans for Veteran’s Day albeit a month late, I thought I’d share some of what they wrote.
Below is a postcard sent from Germany. It’s hard to read, so I rewrote it on the side. Dec. 14, 1943
Dear Brothers, I ex-
pect you have heard
by this time that I’m
a prisoner of war in
Germany. Am feel-
ing good and sin-
cerely wishing I was
back to attend a few
meetings. Yours in
F.L. T. S.T. Gerking
A letter from the Hood River County Community Chest and National War Chest to Kemp Lodge. Oct 22, 1943: Dear Friends: This is our war. Our men are in it-at the front, or on their way. Our Money is in it-war bonds, stamps, taxes. Our sacrifice is in it– rationing, scarcities, priorities. We can do more. We can help win the war sooner, and
with a minimum loss of life. We can give our fighters, our allies and their families the greatest weapon of them all– THE WILL TO WIN. We’d do more if we could be there. And we can be there through a generous gift…..When the VICTORY comes, then and only then, will the world be guaranteed a measure of safety for our children and our chil-dren’s children. That is what we are fighting for. That is the battle you are invited to join…. More excerpts, all from different men: Officers and Brother Odd Fellows, With much regret I write this letter to inform you that being elected to Noble Grand Chair for the term expiring Jan 1, 1944, I must resign from this office for active service in the U.S. forces. Would liked very much to have been able to serve this term, but as you all know when Uncle says come, well there is
nothing one can do but go….Your Brother Pete Dear Brothers: Please forgive me, I know I’m behind in writing. Been pretty busy. I am now somewhere in France, but I’m hoping to get back to Hood River and darn soon. Shux I just don’t like it over here. Getting lots to eat, K. rations. I’m making lots of coffee, maybe I’ll get as good as Otto. I said maybe. (quite a few letters mentioned Otto’s coffee) For some time now my home has been fox holes and slit trenches….James Creson July 23, 1943: Hope to be back there with you boys some day. I sure had some good times while a member of your lodge. Things are about the same here. Plenty of work and air raids. One can get in a fox hole to get away from
the bombs but can’t hide from the work. We are camped near the sea and get plenty of swimming and some fishing. We are having it easy here compared to some of the other places in this world….Ralph I am now in Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Don’t know much I can write except keep the fires burning as us boys will be home soon. I hope to partake in some of Otto’s brew and doughnuts…. Jan 20, 1944:...I have eaten my fill of coconuts. And how easily the natives can climb the trees after them and also open them...They wear only a piece of cloth wrapped around their waists, men and women alike, it’s a good thing George xxxx isn't in the Seabees, Tho he might and heed the warning which we received, that if we messed around
with the native women there would be a part of our anatomy that we would have to carry around in a wheelbarrow. And that’s no kidding…..Yours in F. L. T. Elmer E. Masiker Dec 13, 1942, Dear Brothers, Tonight finds me at a desk somewhere in England….But I want to say this much for the people at home, they are sure doing their part and believe me the boys will never let them down….always your Brother Ken From the Grand Lodge Oct.1, 1945: Fraternal Greetings: The war is over and peace again reigns upon the earth, and it behooves us, as American citizens and as Odd Fellows, to put forth every effort possible to prove to the “boys” who sacrificed so much-who paid such a high price for victory-that we are grateful for their valued services….Our
boys did their best for us-let’s do all that we can for them. And above all let us not forget those heroes who
will never return. Fraternally, Ralph L. Russell, Grand Master
