PROGRAM
|
|
| DEDICATION: |
My
program is dedicated to my husband, Floyd, Past Grand Patriarch of the
Grand Encampment of Idaho, who has made this year possible for me
through his love, faith, and encouragement, and to our son, Earl, who
stands by my side to assist whenever possible. This
year of service is dedicated to the Rebekah and Odd Fellow Lodges of
District No. 2 whose brothers and sisters have shared their love and
friendship with me and given their wholehearted support.
Without all of you it would not be possible for me to accept this
great challenge. This program is also dedicated in loving memory of Sister Lorraine Cooper – my wonderful sister. She never met a stranger and was a true friend to everyone she knew,
