Greetings Brothers and

Sisters, it is a pleasure and honor

to serve our Order as your 2019-

2020 Grand Master. Thank you

for your trust and confidence in

me. I originally heard about the

Odd Fellows from my father-in-

law Duane Fox, he was a very

active Odd Fellow who was the

first to pitch in when help was needed. As noted at

Grand Lodge, I am a firm believer in teamwork. Every

Odd Fellow is an integral part of the team, your input

and new ideas are always welcome to help the team

grow and succeed. During this year's sessions we

tackled many issues resulting in productive ideas. I am

confident the major issue at the Holgate Center is being

addressed well by the team of Executive Director Dane

Jensen, our Chief Financial Officer and the Holgate

board of directors. The Holgate staff has been

outstanding working together to set us on a positive path

during this transition. As we start the new orbit around

the sun, it is important that all our lodges and members

be unified teams to make the best even better. In closing

I encourage all of us to focus on my theme, “tradition

with energy”. Let's have our good works come out of

the shadows and let the sun shine on all that we do.

In FL&T,

Gordon Corda, Grand Master

True leadership lies in guiding others to success.

In ensuring that everyone is performing

at their best, doing the work they are pledged

to do and doing it well. —Bill Owens

Wow! It is time for me to

write my first article as

President. I wish to start off by

thanking my Rebekah Sisters

and Brothers for their vote of

confidence in electing me to this

position. I also want to take this

opportunity to give a BIG Thank

you to my Officers, District

Deputy Presidents and new Committee members for

accepting their positions. I look forward to working with

all of you this year.

The first item on my agenda this year is the All

Committee meeting being held on June 15th at 9:00 am at

the Grand Lodge Office. It is very important that

committee members attend this meeting, especially if you

are new to a committee. Please RSVP your attendance to

Grand Lodge so there is an accurate count for lunch.

I also want to remind everyone of the opportunity to

meet the new officers at Jesse T. Jones Park in Florence

the weekend after the 4th of July. We will be serving a

pancake breakfast to raise funds for the park. Prior to the

Parade on Saturday there will be a flag ceremony

performed by Canton No.1 of Portland and Canton No.14

of Hillsboro. This is just one of the many activities

planned for the weekend. I hope to see many of you

there!

Once again. thank you for giving me the honor and

opportunity to serve as your President. I will strive to do

my very best and look forward to working with all of

you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact

me.

Brothers and Sisters,

We had very productive

Grand Lodge sessions in Seaside

a few weeks ago. I had a

wonderful time with Sovereign

Grand Master Doug Pittman and

his lovely wife Mira. Thank you

for visiting our sessions Brother

Doug.

We passed several Bills at the sessions as follows:

Bill No. 1. This Bill aligns the Pilgrimage for Youth

Committee Guidelines to coincide with Sovereign Grand

Lodge Code.

Bill No. 2. This Bill increases the Grand Lodge sessions

registration fees to $25.00 for pre-registration and

$35.00 for late registration. The late registration cut-off

date is to be established by the Statewide Meeting

Committee and will be posted on the registration form in

advance. Please note that there are some exceptions to

the late fees as provided in the Grand Lodge By-Laws.

The Co-Chairmen of the Statewide Meeting Committee

have the right to waive the late fees for replacement

Representatives or Delegates and out of state visitors

only. All Odd Fellows and Rebekahs registered to attend

the sessions of the other units of the Order shall be

required to pay the Grand Lodge late registration fee.

Bill No. 3. This Bill was to amend the JJYC’s guidelines

defining how expenses are to be submitted to the Grand

Secretary for reimbursement. Costs for travel or

activities not set in the criteria must be requested in

writing to JJYC 60 days in advance.

Bill No. 4. This Bill was a complete rewrite for the

Oregon Eye Committee Guidelines. It structures how the

process starts and finishes.

Congratulations Gordon Corda on your election as

our new Grand Master. Congratulations Lloyd Fries on

your election as our new Deputy Grand Master. Please

welcome our new Grand Warden Stephen Craig. Brother

Stephen is from Farmers Lodge No. 49. Congratulations

Stephen on your election as our new Grand Warden.

Please send all new By-Law changes to Brother

Stephen. Rich Smith was elected back onto the 5 year

position as our Grand Lodge Board of Trustees.

Congratulations Brother Rich.

Continued on Page ten...

Hello to all of my Sisters and

Brothers,

I hope everyone that was able to

attend our session in Seaside had a

wonderful time. It was a busy and

informative session. I also enjoyed

getting to see members I have not

seen for a while. Friendships

renewed and new friendships made, adds special

meaning to our sessions.

For lodges that had secretaries at Assembly, you have

your per capita dues notices and life membership

interest checks in your packet. For lodges that were

unable to have their secretaries at Assembly I have

mailed your per capita notices, life membership checks

and secretary packets. Your per capita dues are due this

month.

June is a time when most lodges get ready to recess

for the summer. Remember to check in with each other

over the summer so that you keep up on how your

members are doing and if they need help.

Remember to get registered for IARA Sessions

which are in Winston-Salem, North Carolina this year.

Also, don’t forget to submit your Living Legacy, Drug

Prevention, Community Service and Scholarship

information to SGL so that you can receive the

certificates you have earned.

Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve

as your Secretary. I promise to do my very best and look

forward to working with all of you.

In Friendship, Love and Truth,

Mary Houle’, Rebekah Assembly Secretary

Hello everybody,

Theta Rho Assembly is

quickly approaching, and it has

been a lot of fun to be able to

serve the Theta Rho Girls of both

Washington and Oregon in this

way. It has been a little bit

stressful, but I would not take

back a single thing if I could.

This past month has been a little bit crazy. First I

was able to go to Theta Rho Retreat, along with two

other girls from my club. Twelve girls attended, and we

had a lot of fun playing games and doing community

service. We were also able to practice for Theta Rho

Assembly next month. All of the Theta Rho Girls,

myself included, would like to thank the Rebekahs and

Odd Fellows in Olympia for allowing us to use the park

every year in exchange for community service which we

are happy to do. I was also able to go to the Holland

Happenings Parade in Oak Harbor as my official visit to

Acorn No. 79. It was so much fun having a sleep-over

the night before the parade, and then getting to

participate in the parade was something I had never

done before. I would like to thank the Rebekah lodge

that sponsors Acorn for allowing us to use your lodge

hall for our sleep-over.

During May I was also able to go to The Tomb of the

Unknown Soldier to participate in, and watch the laying

of the wreaths. It was something I had waited for all

year, and it was a genuine highlight for me. It was also

an extraordinary experience for me, to see the Changing

of the Guard, something I wrote a paper on for the

Honors Program, but had never had the opportunity to

see. My Gramms made it possible for me to go, and

also made sure I got to see all the museums, memorials,

and monuments we could. I thank all the people who

helped make this event possible and my Gramms for

making it possible for me to go.

I hope that you all have a pleasant end to the school

year, and are able to make it to our Theta Rho Sessions

in June!

In Happiness Through Service,

Bethany Struthers, President,

Theta Rho Assembly of Washington

I thank the Grand

Encampment and members for

electing me as Grand

Patriarch, I hope to work with

all of you to make this a great

year for the Encampment.

Past Grand Patriarch, Lisa

Corda, will be a hard act to follow, she set a great

example and worked hard for all of us.

This year we are going to continue the sock hop and

see by how much we can top the 1,200 pairs of socks that

were donated this year. If you missed the news, Paran

Encampment won the contest with a total of over 600

pairs of socks donated and Ruth Canby won the drawing

which was a $75.00 prize. All Encampments can start

now collecting socks, remember those black Friday sales,

Fred’s sock sale anyone?

On Labor Day weekend we will have a BBQ Chicken

and Ribs cooked by our Grand Secretary Ron Kunze.

Make your Reservation now at Jesse T Jones for this fun

time.

I’m taking this as an opportunity to share my

Program:

Emblem: Razor or Sand Rail

Objective: Increasing membership to build stronger

Encampment because A Strong Encampment

is a Fun Encampment.

Motto: A Grain of Sand is insignificant but in your

eye it feels like a boulder.

Goal: Make everyone you meet a friend and invite

them into the Order.

Flower: Red Rose in Honor of my wife Liz.

Colors: Purple and Gold, Encampment Colors.

Songs: Live Like You Were Dying by Tim McGraw

This Land is Your Land

Patriotic: God Bless the U.S.A. by Lee Greenwood

Scripture: The Lords Prayer

Projects: Jesse T Jones Maintenance Fund

Morand Scholarship Fund & Eta Theta Rho

Again, I thank you all for electing me and to all who

are serving as my Officers.

In Faith, Hope and Charity,

Mike Guerreiro, Grand Patriarch

I do not know your name-nor for which battle you died.

I do not know where you rest-nor the promises broken.

I do not know your uniform and your fears lay unspoken.

But, I know your spirit exists-that your courage is admired,

and your sacrifice is honored by each soul that’s inspired.

and I offer you from my heart thank you, to guardians unknown

for offering yourselves for us all that we may keep freedom...our home. ~ author unknown

Good Day everyone, I am repeating the information

that we posted on Facebook and sent in emails to make

sure everyone is notified of the current ruling by the Park

Board. On May 01, 2019 the Jesse T. Jones Park Board

met, and in the interest of, and for the Good of the Order

rescinded their decision of April 27, 2019 to change the

guest rule at Jesse T. Jones Park. The Park is for all Odd

Fellow and Rebekah members in good standing, therefore

the original rule stands that a guest may attend two times

total and then must become a member before returning to

the park. Please remember to call us Before you come,

with any additional guests or extra vehicles so we can

keep check-in a smooth and enjoyable process. We will

keep posting events and information on Facebook to keep

you updated. There will be a barrel here at the office to

collect donations of helmets and goggles for the Salem

Sand Club to use for the rides for Foster care children and

their families. The event is in September so you can bring

them anytime this summer. We need all sizes from kids

through adults.

In FL&T Mary

Salem Sand Club and RZR Pro are putting on an event

for foster children September 21st 9-6 at Jesse T Jones

Park. It’s called Dominate the Dunes NW. We are giving

the foster families a day out in the sand in Side by Sides.

We are looking for volunteers who would be willing

to drive their side by side, take these kids out on the sand

and give them a day of fun. We also need volunteers

who would like to help out at base camp with the kids

who are too young to go out, and we need help with

lunch and dinner. We’re also looking for sponsors. If

you can’t be there that day but would like to help, you

can be a sponsor. If you know someone else who would

like to be a sponsor please let us know. For more

information or a form to sign up please contact Bev

Stubbs Email: bstubbs639@ aol.com or call 503-851-

4833.

Starting Memorial Day weekend there will be a

Barrel in the Pavilion for donations of good used

helmets, goggles and gloves of all sizes, so if you have

any you no longer need please bring them when you

come to the park to camp and put them in the barrel.

Thank you,

Bev Stubbs

We hope to see you over the 4th of July weekend at

the park. On Saturday we will have a parade and our 1st

Annual Flag Raising Ceremony, 12 noon at the pavillion.

Lots of other fun events, and of course our Grand Master

and President will be cooking their fundraiser pancake

breakfast for everyone.

Shamrock members installed our new officers:

Edith Brown- Noble Grand, Joyce Steiner- Vice Grand,

Janie Long -Secretary, and Inez Kennedy-Treasurer

In January we celebrated Thomas Wildey who

nurtured Odd Fellowship. March was the Birthday of

Brother Schuyler Colfax. We celebrated the founder of

our Rebekah Degree.

The charter was draped for PP Mavis Paul and

Delora Compton We shall miss them.

April we attended and were welcomed to Cosmos

Area Annual Meeting held at the Holgate Center with

Chairman Robert Worthington from Rose City. We

enjoyed the meeting and friendships and visiting with

members of other lodges. It is always a joy to hear from

our Rebekah Assembly President.

A couple of shamrock members were in the Teddy

Bear parade held in Oregon City, where donated toys

are given to children in hospitals or to other charitable

groups.

For Lodges that close for the summer, we want to

wish you a great vacation time and we will see you in

September.

Janice

Rose City No. 170 opened the lodge meeting, with

the Portland Canton No. 1 presenting the flag. Rose

City officers surrendered their chairs to the Cosmos

officers.

The address of welcome was given by Chairman

Robert Worthington and the response by Janice Straub.

Janie Long presented a tribute to Past Area Chairmen

with a beautiful reading.

After lunch Charles Cloud gave a wonderful talk

from "Ministries for Homeless". He reported Portland

has the biggest homeless population with 50% women

and children. He told how a donated sleeping bag can

save a life. Everyone can help to make a difference.

Janice Straub and Joyce Steiner offered a memorial

tribute for members lost during the year. With a

reading, white flowers and a song.

Nomination of 2020 Cosmos officers. Chairman Janice

Straub No. 113, Vice Chairman Kim Walter No.

170, Treasurer Inez Kennedy, ( 2 year term ),

Secretary Flo Leis ( last year term)

Several lodges were represented with 26 members

present.

Rebekah Assembly President Denice Meeuwsen's,

question and answer time was interesting with lots of

questions answered and we learned a lot of our ritual

and common sense. This was the President’s last area

meeting. She thanked all lodges for the courtesies

extended to her.

A fun raffle with cards for prizes was a nice break in

the meeting. A skit with 2 dogs and a cat was enjoyed

by all.

The meeting was well organized. Rose City Officers

took their chairs and the Noble Grand closed the

meeting.

Joyce Steiner and Janice Straub

At the May 2018 session of the Grand Lodge in

Seaside there was a by-law amendment passed so that

money can be donated by lodges or individuals to

supplement the amount earned from interest on the

principal of the Morand Investment Fund.

Because of a downturn in investment earnings over

the last several years funds available for scholarships

were greatly reduced. To help remedy this problem a

By-Law amendment was passed in 2018 to create a

new way to donate funds for current year scholarships.

Anyone can now add to the funds available for the

current year by making a check payable to the Grand

Lodge of Oregon with a note in the memo line “2019

scholarship account”. Remember, October - January

request the scholarship packet from the Grand Lodge

Office.
