Homecoming

Jim Elwood & Anna

The Safford Odd Fellow Lodge gave our Grand Noble Jim Elwood a coming home party May 19, 2007. There were forty people including dignitaries from Tucson and Globe. The Rebekah president Iva Peebles was unable to attend because of her health. She was represented by Bessie from Tucson. This was a sit down dinner prepared by the Rebekahs. Jim was given a present of cash from the Odd Fellows followed by a couple of joke gifts from Frank and Marvin. There was Ham and Meatloaf with all the trimmings and a large welcome home decorated cake for dessert. (by Carol Peeler)

Cinco de Mayo Parade

Cinco de Mayo

May 5th is Cinco de Mayo. What better way to celebrate than a parade and festival. The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs built a float for the parade. It was pulled by Herman Holdgrafer with a lot of Odd Fellows, Rebekahs and Red Hat Ladies from the Southern Belle chapter. Thanks to all that helped build, decorate and ride. It helped to make this a success.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

Faith makes all things possible.
Hope makes all things bright.
Love makes all things easy.

TVOn Thursday May 10 the TV 3 news show was broadcast from downtown Safford. Along with a lot  of still photo’s the group of odd fellows that were there; all wearing their red jackets were interviewed live on the air. We were asked what are the Odd Fellows, what do we do and how and where did it all start. I was very surprised by the number of local people that asked us who we were.  Do we need to be more visible in town? It was a four hour show. I think it was good for Safford to be seen that way and I am pleased with our being involved.  (by Joe Duggan)
