Youth Fest 2016

The Youth Committee is planning 3 Youth Fests to be held across the state. The goal is to get these groups started and hopefully have some of these young people join the Oddfellows and Rebekahs as they get older. We hope to make these events fun and informative.

We’ll have movies, popcorns, snacks, crafts and a Power Point on our Order. If your lodge is interested in starting a Youth Group please contact me and we will arrange a date to come out and talk to your lodge and the young people who are interested in joining.

Remember…The Youth are our future!
